This marked the end of the James era at the Trailblazers, as his elder brother Bronny James — now a Los Angeles Lakers guard — graduated from the same school in 2023 before playing for the USC Trojans. The official Instagram page of Sierra Canyon Athletics shared an image of their championship team:
