And then there’s James’ second son, Bryce, who could be eligible for the NBA Draft as soon as 2026. Bryce will be suiting up for the Arizona Wildcats, and as is the case for the Lakers star’s children, all eyes will be on him. But James is reminding both of his sons that nothing is given, even to those who share the same blood he has, and reminded them that everyone’s road to the top is different — much like Boston Celtics guard Derrick White experienced on his way to becoming an NBA champion and an Olympic gold medalist. “My message was to them, ‘Everybody’s road to success is different so stay locked in and patient. That was my message to my boys last year,” James told Steve Nash on the Mind the Game podcast. “Unranked in high school, zero D1 scholarship offers, played three years of Division Two basketball at UCCS, transferred to Colorado and now an NBA champion. That guy is Derrick White.” -via Clutch Points / June 24, 2025
