Just yesterday, LeBron James and his eldest son created history for the first father-son assist in NBA history. Today, both Bronny James and Bryce James have added a chapter to their lore to cement their legacy away from their father’s spotlight. While doing so, Bron made sure to celebrate both on Saturday.
His most recent tweet was in support of the University of Arizona, which punched its ticket into the penultimate round of March Madness. The Wildcats defeated Purdue University 79-64, as Bryce James soaked in every moment from the sideline. He has already taken the redshirt decision, but the commitment and excitement towards the program have never been hampered.
He may not be playing this season, but the James family is rooting hard. LeBron expressed his excitement about his youngest son’s team playing for a spot in the national championship game.”
DOWN!!!! FINAL 4⃣ BOUND @ArizonaMBB 
.” This was his second tweet of the day, and the first one was one hour earlier in support of his eldest son.
On Saturday, Bronny once again showcased his growth with the South Bay Lakers. He has been juggling his role between the Lakers and the G-League team. The 21-year-old has been balling out for South Bay, and Saturday was no different. LeBron couldn’t hold back his joy and took to X. “Bronny going NUTS right now!!! WOW.”
Bronny going NUTS right now!!! WOW

Bronny had a career-best performance, recording 26 points, seven rebounds, and five assists. Another impressive stat was his efficient shooting, 9-of-12 from the field, and knocking down a career-high 6-of-8 from three-point range. In fact, 11 of his 26 points in the final period helped his team close out the game to keep his record intact.
The South Bay Lakers remain undefeated with a perfect 14–0 record in games Bronny has played. Seeing his eldest son reach the potential that he had, LeBron was excited. It was just yesterday when James Sr. got candid, explaining the struggles for Bronny.
LeBron James got emotional about his elder son’s journey
He has started the past two games for the Lakers, his first time since February 12. While the minutes have been limited, the impact and the growth have been there for everyone to see. He has shot 50% from the field in both games despite taking just 6 shots. But the confidence is brewing, which the media noticed and asked LeBron James.
Despite the uncertain role with the Lakers, the time in the G-league has helped Bronny James a lot. For South Bay, before his performance tonight, he was averaging 14.8 points and shooting 41.7% from beyond the arc. That’s why it earned him a place in JJ Redick’s plan for the past two games as a supplementary player to the injured Marcus Smart.
It’s hard to tell if the plan for Bronny is long term with the Purple and Gold. Yet, he has taken the challenge and made the G league experience count, which even his father is excited for.
