Bryce James Makes College Commitment, Keeping LeBron's Two-Son NBA Dream Alive

This decision keeps the possibility of a three-James NBA lineup alive. LeBron, who recently turned 40, has hinted at wanting to play alongside both sons - though that would require him to continue playing through at least 2026 when Bryce could potentially enter the draft.

Just as they maneuvered to land Bronny with the 55th pick in 2024, the Lakers might look to acquire Bryce in 2026, though they currently only hold their first-round pick that year. The younger James, while slightly taller than his brother, enters college as a three-star prospect with clear development needs.

LeBron's recent comments about finishing his career in Los Angeles adds yet another layer to this family storyline: 

“I think that’s the plan. I would love for it to end here, that would be the plan. I came here to finish the last stage of my career and to finish it off here, but I’m also not silly or too jaded to not know the business of the game as well, you know the business of basketball. I think my relationship with this organization speaks for itself." 

The youngest James seems focused on prioritizing personal development over proximity, choosing a program known for player growth rather than staying close to his family in Los Angeles. As LeBron continues to defy Father Time at age 40, the possibility of all three James men sharing an NBA court remains alive and well. Whether that dream becomes reality will depend not only on LeBron's longevity but also on Bryce's development in Arizona's proven system.
