When he's not terrorizing the NBA as the most dominant 40-year-old in the league, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James plays the role of a loving father at home.

The 21-time All-Star is the proud dad to three beautiful children. His eldest son is Bronny James, who is now his teammate with the Lakers. His second child is son Bryce James, 17, and he has one daughter, Zhuri James, who is 10 years old.

It was Bryce James who took center stage on Friday as the young man graduated from Sierra Canyon High School. LeBron James was, of course, in attendance for the special day, and the four-time NBA champion got a little bit too excited during the graduation ceremony.

Sports Illustrated shared a video of Bryce James going up the stage to receive his diploma. As he walked off, LeBron James could be heard cheering for his son by making some sort of noise.

The NBA all-time leading scorer's actions drew a big laugh from the crowd in attendance, which had Bryce James shaking his head. LeBron James shared the post on his Instagram stories, while fully embracing his "embarrassing" behavior.

"PROUD DAD!!!" he wrote, adding a number of laughing emojis to his post.

A high school graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and it is clear that LeBron James made the most of the moment. It wasn't he who went up the stage, but it seems that the Lakers superstar was even more proud than Bryce James himself.

Now that he's officially graduated from high school, Bryce James will be heading to the University of Arizona for college. He will be eligible for the NBA Draft in 2026.
