Bryce James' Block on a Dunk Attempt Goes Viral: Arizona Routs Northern Arizona 90-59 as LeBron Reposts the Highlight
On the night of November 10, at McKale Center on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, the No. 12 Arizona Wildcats routed Northern Arizona 90-59. Early in the second half, 19-year-old Arizona guard Bryce James rose to block a dunk attempt by Lucas Toukam, and the clip quickly went viral after ESPN shared it on X and Instagram.
Bryce finished with three points, two assists, two steals and one block in 13 minutes. His block sparked a fast-break basket, and after a timeout he added a three-pointer that stretched the lead to 55-29. According to the Associated Press, Ivan Kharchenkov led Arizona with 20 points and Caleb Holt added 17; the win was also head coach Tommy Lloyd's 150th victory at Arizona. Lloyd said afterward that Bryce is growing, getting more comfortable on the floor and starting to connect the dots.
Bryce is the younger son of LeBron James. He redshirted at Arizona last season, and this was his third appearance of the season. According to Heavy, LeBron reshared his son's block on his Instagram Story that night with an encouraging message about improving one percent each day; the same night, LeBron's Philadelphia 76ers lost 123-101 to the Boston Celtics.
Under ESPN's posts, many fans compared Bryce with his older brother Bronny James, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, and debated the brothers' futures. Arizona next visits Auburn on Friday before facing No. 4 UConn the following week.
