On one hand, LeBron James is arguably the best basketball player in the history of the game. On the other hand, LeBron is the most regular basketball dad in the history of basketball dads.
That made for quite the scene at Peach Jam this past week.
LeBron — along with Rajon Rondo — took over coaching duties for his son Bryce’s team, Strive For Greatness, at Peach Jam in Augusta, Ga. And while LeBron has played in some of the biggest games on the biggest stages, he treated the Nike EYBL circuit like it was Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
In an outstanding highlight video that hit TikTok and Twitter (those captions!), we watched as LeBron roamed the sideline, argued with refs, called out a clock malfunction and, really, just got so into coaching. Of note, the audio has some strong language.
These highlights of LeBron James coaching at Peach Jam are too funny 😂

Fans also enjoyed watching the video of LeBron being the ultimate basketball dad. He should keep coaching.

Aside from being one of the most athletic human beings ever, LeBron James is literally the most regular 40-year-old dude on the planet.
Loves coaching his sons, loves tacos, loves tequila, loves Madden, doesn’t really text/tweet well, uses too many emojis pic.twitter.com/QkoOOcNJGy
