LeBron James’ son Bryce got in a little trash talk during a recent pickup game against his Dad. And it was immediately met with the Los Angeles Lakers’ star hitting lasers from long-range and dropping a ‘GOAT’ reference.
Video was posted to TMZ showing Bryce desperately trying to get into the head of King James. He peppers his dad with taunts of “trash” and “lucky shot.”
It didn’t work.
LeBron just kept making bucket after bucket.
“Hey,” James fires back. “I’m GOAT, bro. G-O-A-T.”

LeBron James – He’s GOAT
This is the kind of content we love to see out of LeBron. His son relentlessly taunting him, and the NBA legend giving it right back.
“What are you talking about, bro?! Stop playing with me,” he hits back after dropping yet another laser from deep. “Stop playing with me, man! This is what I do, man!”
Fun stuff.
Hopefully, young Bryce learned his lesson. Maybe trash-talking isn’t the way to go.

LeBron James: “Never Been Great With Accepting Praise
Ya gotta love it. A little father-son time. A little give and take with the trash talk. Just a fun video all around.
But …
We’d be remiss if we didn’t point out that LeBron James, the self-proclaimed GOAT, just tried to convince fans earlier this season that he’s “never been great with accepting praise.”
LeBron James says he has not mapped out the end of his career and isn’t sure if he wants a farewell tour like Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar received

I don’t know man. I’m kinda skeptical.
LeBron has been referring to himself as ‘King James’ since he was in high school.
He literally had an ESPN special in 2010 about his free agency tour and decision “to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.”
He literally has a tattoo on his back saying “Chosen 1.”
And now: “I’m GOAT, bro. G-O-A-T.”
LeBron James declared himself GOAT, the greatest NBA player of all time, in a more public forum just last year.
Shaquille O’Neal, a great and dominant player in his own right, recently pumped the brakes on that declaration.
Shaq, speaking on a podcast last month, suggests Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were better.
“I’ve heard players say, including myself, ‘I feared Mike.’ I’ve heard players in your generation say, ‘I feared Kobe,’” O’Neal claimed. “I never really heard any players say they fear LeBron.”
Do you know who fears him now though? Or at least he should? Bryce.
Next game maybe.
