The NBA’s all-time leading scorer revealed a more relaxed, personal side in a funny video featuring his son Bryce, seemingly shot in a large backyard at night.
In the heartwarming clip, James sank 3-pointers while playfully bantering with Bryce, who kept things light with some good-natured teasing.
Meanwhile, James’ other son, Bronny, spent last season playing at USC before entering the NCAA transfer portal and declaring for the NBA draft.
On a makeshift court laid with paving stones, the 39-year-old — who has made 2,410 career 3-pointers — reminded viewers just how skilled he still is.
“It’s not going in,” Bryce said as James prepared to take a deep shot.
“Why are you stressing?” James shot back.
The Lakers icon drained the bucket with ease, then tossed some playful family banter.
“Why are you acting surprised?” James said with a grin. “This is what I do. I’m the GOAT, man. G-O-A-T.”
“Quit messing around with me, man,” said the NBA’s reigning king.
Bryce quickly called for the ball.
“What do you need it for?” his dad teased.
Bryce’s shot veered left and missed the hoop.
Laughter echoed as LeBron shared some cherished moments with his family before the intensity of the NBA playoffs kicks in.
“LeBron thrives under pressure. Certified GOAT,” one fan tweeted.
It’s tough to argue with that, especially with James nearing 40.
“King James knows he’s the greatest ever,” another fan chimed in.
“LeBron makes it look effortless,” a third commented.
Still, some found it odd that he openly declared himself the GOAT.
“Talking yourself up like that should disqualify you from the GOAT debate,” one critic remarked.
The No. 7-seeded Lakers are slated to face the No. 2 Denver Nuggets in the opening round.
