A viral clip hints LeBron’s youngest could be plotting a surprising pivot

Bryce James may need a serious talk with LeBron as he might be eyeing a different sport over college basketballAP
Bryce Jamesis considered by many to be the most naturally gifted basketball player in the James family-some even say he has all the tools to become an NBA superstar. But as he steps into the college stage, it’s becoming clear that his athletic instincts might be too big to fit into just one sport. And now, a certain viral clip has everyone wondering if basketball is still his only game plan.
Could the Wildcats’ new recruit trade the hardwood?
In the footage that had fans doing double takes, Bryce swapped his basketball sneakers for cleats, stepping onto a football field and delivering pinpoint passes like a seasoned quarterback. The smooth arm motion and the confident stance-it was a performance that didn’t just look good, it looked legit. Whether it was just a friendly game or a quiet tryout, Bryce showed he could handle the gridiron spotlight.
At just his age, the pressure over his athletic future is already hotter than ever. Bryce is entering his first college basketball season with head coach Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona Wildcats, but the recent football buzz has people questioning if the playbook might be changing.
It wouldn’t be the first time a James toyed with this idea-LeBron himself has famously daydreamed about becoming an NFL player. Now, seeing Bryce sling the ball like that, some think he might be living out the “what-if” scenario his dad never got to fulfill.

The fan debate is already split. Some want Bryce to chase the NFL dream, believing his football talent could rival his basketball skills. Others say he should honor the James basketball legacy alongside LeBron and Bronny-after all, having three family members in the NBA would be historic. And of course, there’s even a theory that LeBron is pushing himself extra hard this offseason so he can stick around long enough to share the court with both sons.
Bryce’s future is wide open
Theories aside, Bryce James has the genes, the drive, and the versatility to make it big in whatever sport he chooses. Whether it’s soaring above the rim or launching bombs downfield, he’s proving he’s more than just a basketball prodigy. And somewhere, you can bet LeBron is watching closely, ready for that serious father-son talk.
