          15-year-old son of Lebron James wins scholarship to US university, celebrates achievement

          August 22, 2023

          Bryce James, the youngest son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has a bright future ahead of him. The 15-year-old basketball player recently announced on his Instagram story that he received his first Division I scholarship offer from Duquesne University, a private school in Pittsburgh that competes in the Atlantic 10 Conference.

          Bryce, who is a rising sophomore at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, writing “Blessed” and “#GoDukes” on his post. His father, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, was quick to congratulate him, reposting his message and adding “AYYYEEE!!! LET’S GO MAXIMUS” and “the first of many to come!!!”

          Bryce is not the only member of the James family who is making waves in the basketball world. His older brother, Bronny James, is a 17-year-old senior at Sierra Canyon and a top prospect for the class of 2023. Bronny has already received recruiting interest from several high-profile programs, such as Memphis and Oregon.

          The James brothers have been showcasing their skills and potential in various tournaments and events, such as the AAU circuit in Las Vegas and the Big Time Hoops All-Star Games in Europe. They have also been training with their father at the Los Angeles Lakers’ practice facility, where they impressed fans with their dunks and athleticism.

          The scholarship offer from Duquesne is not a random coincidence, however. The university has strong connections to the James family, as its head coach Keith Dambrot coached LeBron for his first two seasons at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. One of his assistants is Dru Joyce III, who was a high school teammate of LeBron’s and later played for Dambrot at Akron University.

          Duquesne is not a powerhouse in college basketball, but it has a respectable history and tradition. The Dukes have made five NCAA Tournament appearances, most recently in 1977, and have produced several NBA players, such as Norm Nixon, Mike James and Sihugo Green. The Dukes are hoping to improve their fortunes under Dambrot, who has led them to four consecutive winning seasons since taking over in 2017.

          Bryce James has plenty of time to decide where he wants to play college basketball, as he still has three more years of high school left. But his first scholarship offer is a sign of recognition and respect for his talent and potential. And with his father’s guidance and support, he could follow in his footsteps and achieve greatness on the court.
