Earlier this month Bryce James, the youngest son of Los Angles Lakers star LeBron James, announced his commitment to Arizona to play collegiate basketball.

The Sierra Canyon star received a heartfelt message from his mother, Savannah, after announcing the news on New Year's Day. "So proud of you @_justbryce!! ❤️ Your silent hustle has definitely not gone unnoticed!! I’m so excited for you and I can’t wait to cheer you on through this journey! Down! ❤️❤️❤️" she said in a post on Instagram.

She's been more than supportive of LeBron's lengthy NBA career, which stretched into Year 22 during the 2024-25 season and she appears to be just as supportive of sons Bronny and Bryce, consistently attending G-League and high school games.

The latest high school contest for Bryce saw the four-star recruit drop 18 points as Sierra Canyon cruised to a 25-point victory over Bishop Alemany. During the contest, the youngest son of LeBron threw down a dunk reminiscent of his father, one that had everyone's jaw on the floor.

Video of the play quickly went viral on social media, with Savannah showing love to her youngest son with a few emojis.

Sierra Canyon now sits at 19-4 on the season and is one of the top teams in the state of California.
