LeBron James Celebrates Bryce's Return From College originally appeared on Fadeaway World.

LeBron James is enjoying a proud dad moment as his youngest son, Bryce, returns home from college.

In a recent video, the Lakers star couldn't hide his excitement as he greeted Bryce, pointing out his new facial hair and hyping up his fresh look. "That boy home from college for a little bit! Y'all see his beard! That's my dawg!" LeBron said with a big smile, clearly enjoying the rare moment to have his son back under the same roof. The playful exchange showed a lighter side of the NBA legend, who's never shy about celebrating his kids' milestones, whether they're on the court or just growing up.

It's been a busy summer for the James household. As the most famous family in the NBA, they are always under the spotlight, regardless of the season or whatever else is happening across the league. This video captures a genuine and heartfelt moment that reflects just how close the family is, despite stacked schedules.

For Bryce in particular, this stretch could set the stage for the rest of his career. As the youngest son of LeBron and Savannah, his journey is just beginning, and we're getting a rare glimpse behind the scenes. After a modest senior year at Sierra Canyon High School, where he averaged 6.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game, he committed to the University of Arizona this summer, where he will spend the upcoming season playing and developing his game. Apparently, he's also been working on a beard, which has him looking several years older.

While he's home for now, it's only a temporary arrangement until the school year truly begins later this month. The 18-year-old shooting guard has been hard at work for weeks, preparing for his college campaign as a three-star prospect. All eyes will be on him this upcoming season, but he gets to rest for the time being in what may be one of the few times the James family will be together until the holiday season.

As for Bronny, we don't see him in this clip, but we know that he's been busy preparing for his sophomore season with the Lakers. He's already made his NBA debut and has secured a multi-year contract after a season at USC. Still, he continues to hone his craft as we've seen this summer through his performances in the Summer League.

Finally, there's LeBron, the biggest star of all and the patriarch of the group. With his 23rd season approaching, LeBron will soon shift his focus to the NBA court, but he's going to enjoy his family being together again for as long as he can. Besides celebrating Bryce's arrival, James (40) has spent some time on the green, playing golf with his friends and developing his post-retirement hobbies.

Of course, things will be radically different next summer, when potentially all three of the James men will be NBA-active. Whether or not they are all on the same team remains to be seen, but LeBron has certainly left the door open as his contract is set to expire next summer.

In the end, the moment between LeBron and Bryce was about more than just a beard or a homecoming; it was a snapshot of a tight-knit family making the most of their time together. Soon enough, the grind of the basketball calendar will pull them in different directions, but for now, it's all smiles in the James household.

Along with getting you caught up on the weekend’s playoff action, we’ll give you a sneak preview of what could potentially be the greatest basketball book of all time, show you the best 70-year-old playground superstar ever, and tell you about a young star that just might choose religion over the fame and fortune of the NBA.

Luka Dončić joins LeBron James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West as only Lakers to post 30 points and 15 assists in a game

LeBron James joined a club of one on Tuesday , while Luka Dončić joined a club of four. With 30 points and a Lakers career-high 15 assists, Luka Dončić became only the fourth player in Lakers history to post those totals in a single game in a 136-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. The other three: James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West. We'll call that a solid group. That performance included a stretch of three straight 3-pointers to set the tone in the first quarter. It was once again the LeBron and Dončić (LeBrončić?) show, as Dončić's co-star posted 34 points on 10-of-18 shooting, eight rebounds and six assists. Center Jaxson Hayes also had one of the best games of his Lakers career, scoring 19 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting plus 10 rebounds. Dončić was two points away from tying his Lakers career high in points as well, and likely would have gotten it had L.A. not taken its foot off the gas in the fourth quarter. After a back-and-forth first half in which the P...
