How old is Bryce James?

Bryce James is 16 years old. LeBron James’ second son’s birthdate was June 7, 2007. He is five years younger than Bronny — born on October 6, 2002 — and seven years older than his sister, Zhuri, born on May 22, 2014.

Where is Bryce James from?

Despite LeBron’s basketball career causing the James family to live in several locations, Bryce James is originally from Ohio. This is an upshot of the teenager’s parents’ roots, with the NBA star and his wife, Savannah, from Akron, Ohio.

What is Bryce James’ height?

Despite his youth, Bryce James is currently 6 feet 6 inches tall, according to Sports Illustrated. This is incredible because the teenager is still growing and is yet to reach his peak stature.

The 16-year-old’s last recognisable growth spurt elevated him above his elder brother Bronny, who stands at 6 feet 3 inches. Their father, LeBron, stands at 6 feet 9 inches, and it remains to be seen if Bryce matches or surpasses the NBA icon's height.

What was Bryce James’ height at 13?

Due to the absence of official records of Bryce James’ height at 13, determining his stature in his early teens is unattainable. However, it is projected that LeBron James’ second son would have been between 5 feet 8 and 5 feet 10 inches tall at 13 based on his present height of 6 feet 6 inches and his growth trajectory over the years.

What was Bryce James’ height at 14?

Just as there were no official records of Bryce James’ height at 13, the same applies to when the prodigy was 14. Regardless, his development trajectory over the years suggests he would have been around 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet 1 inch at that age.

What is Bryce James’ height without shoes?

Bryce James is reported to be 6 feet 2.5 inches tall without shoes, according to the teenager’s profile on 247Sports. Per multiple reports, this measurement was made in 2023 during the Nike Elite 100 Camp. Player heights are frequently measured without shoes on since it gives a more reliable and consistent metric.

What is Bryce James’ projected height?

It is hard to predict with certainty Bryce James's projected height because he is already 6 feet 6 inches tall and continues to develop. Given his growth trajectory, Bryce is expected to be at least 6 feet 7 or 6 feet 8 inches tall. It remains to be seen if Bryce’s height eventually surpasses his father’s, but observers await how it pans out with bated breath.

Bryce James’ height vs Bronny James

Bryce James’ height (6 feet 6 inches) and Bronny’s (6 feet 3 inches) reveal that the former is already taller than his elder brother. Unsurprisingly, their ability and potential are compared due to their status as LeBron James’ sons.

Bryce, a shooting guard, is lauded for his athleticism and shooting ability, while the more experienced Bronny is praised for his basketball IQ, spatial awareness and passing ability. The latter is a point guard whose athleticism and shooting could be perceived as weaknesses, and his areas of strength are seen as Bryce's flaws, especially the younger's pass selection and execution.

Bryce and Bronny James undoubtedly have the potential to be NBA players, but it is still too early to tell if they will reach LeBron’s legendary status. They share the same work ethic and genes as their father, and they both have ideal support networks around them. Indeed, their career progression over the coming years should fascinate observers.

Can Bryce James dunk?

Yes, Bryce James can dunk. The son of LeBron James’ first-ever recorded dunk happened while he attended Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California, for his freshman and sophomore years.

The moment was videoed and posted by Ballislife as the then-14-year-old took off and threw down the ball before teammates and coaches congratulated him. Frankly, it was made to look frighteningly effortless for someone his age.

What is Bryce James’ weight?

Multiple reports place Bryce James’ weight at around 180 pounds. In Kilograms, this is about 82kg.

Regardless, an exact value may be impossible because there are bound to be fluctuations throughout the season due to several factors like training, diet, and muscle development.

Why does Bryce James wear glasses?

While Bryce James plays with glasses, the reason has never been revealed publicly. It should be noted, however, that a younger Bryce enjoyed the sport without them.

Where does Bryce James go to school?

It is the third transfer Bryce James has made in 2023, initially leaving Sierra Canyon to attend Campbell Hall in Studio City, California, before departing after a brief spell for Notre Dame/Sherman Oaks in August.

The decision to return to Sierra Canyon was taken by Bryce and his family, and the 16-year-old is eligible to compete immediately.
