"Same jog back with the thumbs up": Hoops fans liken Bryce James to his father LeBron James

Many experts have said LeBron James' youngest son, Bryce James, is much closer to his game than his eldest, Bronny. Bryce has even shown the same mannerisms as his dad, including one after he makes a shot.

In particular, Bryce also runs back with his thumbs up after making a 3-point shot. This was evident during Thursday's senior night game when Sierra Canyon took on Loyola with LeBron in attendance. Fans on Instagram quickly pointed out that the youngest James is much like his dad.

"Same jog back with the thumbs up and the same clap‼️😭," one fan wrote.

"That’s insane fr u could tell it’s a learned trait. Nun wrong w that it’s js cool to see," added another.

"That’s the le’james shuffle 👍🏽👍🏽🕺🤣😂🔥🔥 @kingjames @bronny #greatness," posted one LeBron James fan.

Meanwhile, others had more jokes, from Bryce James possibly inheriting LeBron's receding hairline to the usual comparisons with older brother Bronny.

"Bryce is LeBron's original son, while Bronny seems like he was ordered from Temu," a fan joked.

"no doubt! hairlines also gonna jog back!😂 no hate! #23," another person quipped.

"They gotta have like two teams or something because the competition level will be looking weird and different every time he’s playing," a comment read.

Bryce James had 12 points, five rebounds and four assists in the 84-42 win against the Loyola Cubs. His team, the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers, is now 15-3 for the season and is considered one of the top schools in California.

After Bryce James, Arizona gunning for Alijah Arenas, Koa Peat and Brayden Burries

On New Year's Day, Bryce James shocked many when he announced that he would be going to Arizona after an unofficial visit to the school with his mom, Savannah James. He is now the school's second commitment after four-star small forward Dwayne Aristode.

With him on the team, Arizona may also be able to get some of his friends that it wants to recruit, particularly five-star combo guard Brayden Burries. The school is also one of the favorites to land another high-profile NBA son in five-star Alijah Arenas, whose father, Gilbert Arenas, is considered one of the greatest Wildcats players ever.

The school is also a favorite to land Arizona native Koa Peat, another five-star prospect, which means the Wildcats may have a freshman superteam on their hands next year should Bryce convince his friend, Burries, to go to Arizona.
