Video: Bryce James vs. Kiyan Anthony Game Highlights with LeBron, Carmelo on the Sidelines | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats & Rumors

Bryce James and Kiyan Anthony competed against each other during the Nike EYBL tour, with their famous fathers in attendance.

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony were spotted supporting their sons at an AAU game in a video released by Overtime. The younger James played for the Strive For Greatness team, while Anthony’s son suited up as a member of Team Melo.

Anthony is ranked No. 6 shooting guard and No. 28 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class, according to 247Sports composite rankings. He has already received offers from schools including Auburn, Florida State, Rutgers, Syracuse and USC.

James is ranked No. 27 overall in the shooting guard and 156th overall in the 2025 class. He has offers from Duquesne and Ohio State (via 247Sports).

The two shooting guards developed a rivalry as they progressed through AAU competition, but it hasn’t affected their mutual respect off the court.

“He’s a sharpshooter, he can really shoot,” Anthony said of James (h/t SI.com’s Farbod Esnaashari ). “When he gets hot, he really doesn’t miss. He bounces. He bounces more than me, I’m not even going to lie. I’m not even going to say it’s like his pops, but it’s kind of like his pops when he dunks a little bit. We kind of grew up together, even though he lived in L.A., but that’s really like family. That’s like my cousin.”

Before their fathers’ incredible NBA careers, LeBron and Carmelo also faced off in high school. They were later selected with the No. 1 and No. 3 overall picks in the 2003 draft, earning them 30 All-Star nominations.

Now that Anthony has retired and James is currently the oldest active player in the NBA, their sons are preparing for their journey to the NBA with their fathers cheering them on.
