Bryce James, LeBron’s youngest, capped his Sierra Canyon career in front of flashing cameras. On Thursday, he strolled across the stage to accept his diploma from Sierra Canyon School in suburban Los Angeles, with cameras flashing and his family watching proudly. A milestone, no doubt, but as it turns out, that wasn’t the only headline involving Bryce this week.
Earlier in the week, Bryce also made headlines at prom. He showed up in an all-black Louis Vuitton suit, pairing it with stylish loafers that only added to the smooth vibe. Not only did he bring the fashion, but he also wrapped up his high school hoops career on a high note. In fact, he left the Sierra Canyon program with a solid run and, of course, plenty of buzz around his future. But even with his own success, it was another player’s moment that managed to catch his eye just days after graduation.
A clip posted by fyrehousemedia featuring Derek Fisher’s son, Drew Fisher, threw Bryce into full fan mode. In the video, the ex-Lakers star’s son unleashes a savage dunk that instantly blew up on social media. Bryce jumped into the comments with a simple but loud: “OMG.”
And he wasn’t the only one hyped—Gloria Goven, Derek’s wife, also shared the clip on her story, celebrating her stepson’s moment. “Caught a MEAN BODY! @_drewfisher,” she wrote. Safe to say, the dunk had the internet shook.
Bryce is no stranger to pulling off high-flying maneuvers either. On the court, Bryce finished strong, averaging 8.0 points and 4.2 rebounds en route to a CIF Division I state title. Back in March, he helped lead Sierra Canyon to a CIF Division I state title win over Lincoln (Stockton), doing so with both of his superstar parents in the stands. Earlier in the year, on January 1st, he committed to Arizona with a straightforward but powerful post: “100% committed.” On the court, he averaged 8.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Back to graduation: Savannah James hijacked his moment with a mom-level nickname reveal. She dropped a sweet and slightly embarrassing video during graduation, complete with a nickname only a mom could get away with. Let’s take a closer look at that.
Bryce James’ embarrassing nickname revealed
Graduation is supposed to be all about the student. And for Bryce James, walking the stage at Sierra Canyon was already a big enough moment with cameras flashing and LeBron James in the audience. But while Bryce had the spotlight, it was his mom, Savannah James, who ended up grabbing some of that attention, without even trying.
So what did she do? Savannah took to social media with a proud mom-style tribute, posting a video packed with love and emotion. The clip showed Bryce in his cap and gown, looking every bit the poised young man he’s growing into. But it wasn’t just the visuals that hit fans—it was the heartfelt message.
“So proud of you and all the hard work you’ve done to get to this point. This is only the beginning! Keep striving to be the absolute best version of you! Love you more than words can explain and so excited to see what the future has for you!!” Savannah wrote. But then came the curveball.
Right at the end, she added one line that changed everything: “I love you, Stinky.” Yup. Stinky. That one nickname instantly made it feel like every teen’s worst nightmare—your mom showing the world what she still calls you when nobody’s around. Sweet? Totally. But let’s be real, Bryce’s silent reaction probably screamed: “Mom, really?”
