After breaking the NBA’s all-time scoring record in front of his two sons, LeBron James is now spending his offseason coaching on the AAU circuit.
Although his older son Bronny has committed to USC next season, Bronny’s younger brother Bryce is playing on the Nike EYBL circuit. Bryce’s team, Strive For Greatness, is currently coached by LeBron and LeBron’s former teammate Rajon Rondo.
Bryce’s squad faced off against New Heights Lightning at Peach Jam, the championship tournament for Nike EYBL spring and summer league held in Augusta, Georgia. The matchup was one of several games broadcast on NBA TV.

NH Lightning, led by Preston Fowler, held a 10-point lead at one point during the game. But after a strong second-half performance from Strive for Greatness, the two eventually forced overtime.
SFG’s Brayden Burries finished with 27 points as LeBron’s team finished on top when it was all said and done.

It wasn’t easy to get into the building for the show, but for those who did, it was worth their time.
Bryce, who is reportedly transferring from Sierra Canyon to Campbell Hall, received his first Division I offer from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
