Bryce James on NBA Season Opener: More Excited About Taco Bell Than Lakers Game

As the NBA 2024-2025 season is set to kick off, a historic moment is on the horizon for the Los Angeles Lakers, with LeBron James and his son Bronny James poised to become the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA game. However, not everyone in the James family is thrilled about this milestone. Bryce James, the second youngest son of LeBron James, has expressed his lack of excitement for the season opener in a humorous way.

In an Instagram video, Bryce James revealed that his enthusiasm lies elsewhere. Instead of discussing basketball, he talked about his favorite snack from Taco Bell. “Season opener, everyone’s got their picks. I’m not talking about hoops, I’m talking about the $1.00 pick from Taco Bell. For me, it’s a country taco all the way,” he said. This light-hearted comment has garnered significant attention and amusement from fans and followers alike.

Bryce James, currently a senior at Sierra Canyon High School, has been making waves in the basketball world with his shooting skills. He has received college offers from Ohio State Buckeyes and Duquesne University, and his future in basketball looks promising. Despite his focus on his own basketball career, Bryce’s social media post has highlighted the playful side of the James family, particularly their love for Taco Tuesday, a tradition started by LeBron James in 2019.

The reaction to Bryce’s post has been filled with humor and support. Fans have praised his honesty and humor, with some even joking about his potential to earn from endorsements. LeBron James’ wife, Savannah James, also joined in the fun, poking fun at Bryce’s Taco Bell promotion by calling herself a “tortilla kinda girl”.
