LeBron James is heading to the Paris Olympics with the #JamesGang in his corner.

The NBA star often uses the hashtag in his social media posts of content with his family, wife Savannah James and their kids Bronny, 19, Bryce, 17 and Zhuri, 9.

Most recently, he has celebrated Bronny joining him as a player on the Los Angeles Lakers. Bronny signed with the Lakers earlier this month after being drafted June 27. LeBron had previously said that he wants to play with both of his sons in the league.

With the Olympics beginning July 28 for Team USA men’s basketball, catch up on the latest with LeBron’s kids below.

Bronny James, 19

LeBron Raymone “Bronny” James Jr., 19, is the oldest child of LeBron and Savannah James. He was born on Oct. 16, 2004.

He has followed in his dad’s athletic footsteps, gaining widespread attention for his basketball skills from a young age. Just before his 10th birthday in 2014, a video went viral of Bronny hitting a one-handed half-court shot while shooting hoops with his dad at the Cavaliers’ practice court.

His high school basketball career at the Sierra Canyon High School in Los Angeles caught the interest of several recruiters. He later committed to the University of Southern California as a five-star recruit.

His freshman season was upended after he experienced cardiac arrest July 2023, delaying his collegiate debut to the following December. He was treated at USC's medical facilities.

LeBron and Savannah sent their “deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes," according to a statement from a family spokesperson obtained by NBC News at the time.

Bronny declared for the NBA draft in April and his agent, Rich Paul, confirmed in May that he would remain in the draft.

He ended up selected as the No. 55 overall pick by the Los Angeles Lakers at the 2024 NBA Draft on June 27, when LeBron posted a carousel on Instagram of Bronny moments, one of which was a photo of them sitting courtside when LeBron was early in his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Bronny was a kid.

“LEGACY!!!!!!” he captioned.

In his introductory press conference as a Laker, Bronny said his goal is to make a name for himself.

"I always try to put that narrative of me trying to get my name out for myself," he said.

"There's a great development system here, so I just want to come in and get my work in and get better every day. I never really had a thought of me going to play with my dad, but that's always there to take part of. But, it wasn't a main focus of mine," he added.

LeBron has long been supportive of Bronny’s basketball career, and a protective parent over the years.

In 2015, the Olympian spoke out against college coaches who were already sending letters and scholarship offers to 10-year-old Bronny.

“It’s pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn’t be recruiting 10-year-old kids,” he told CBS Detroit at the time.

The father of three also opened up about not letting his kids play football growing up.

“It’s a safety thing,” he told ESPN in 2014. “As a parent you protect your kids as much as possible.”

Bronny's star has only continued to rise. In 2022, he became the first high school student to sign an endorsement deal with Beats, joining his dad as brand ambassador.

He also signed a $10 million deal with Nike that same year, before even being eligible for the NBA draft for the 2024-25 season.

Bryce Maximus James, 17

Bryce Maximus James, 17, is the youngest son and middle child of Lebron and Savannah James. He was born on June 14, 2007.

Like his father and older brother, Bryce also plays basketball. 

Back in December 2022, proud dad LeBron shared photos of Bryce and Bronny playing together in a high school basketball game. The brothers’ team at Sierra Canyon High School was facing off against Christ the King High School, whose team included the son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony. 

That same month, Bryce signed with Klutch Sports, the agency founded by Rich Paul that also represents his dad and brother.

Bryce also revealed in 2022 that he had received his first Division I scholarship offer from Duquesne University, according to Sports Illustrated.

He's already attracting attention from multiple NBA scouts, including scouts from the Lakers, Magic and the Cavaliers, according to Sports Lens.

Growing up, Bryce also played soccer and other sports, but was already beginning to focus on basketball by age 7, according to ESPN.

Zhuri Nova James, 9

Zhuri Nova James, 9, is the youngest member of the James gang She was born on Oct. 22, 2014.

When she was just 1 year old, she stole the show after her dad’s NBA Finals win on Father’s Day in 2016 when LeBron held her in his arms during a post-game press conference.

In 2020, with help from her parents, Zhuri launched a YouTube channel called “All Things Zhuri,” which would focus on “cuteness, recipes, DIY, family adventures, pranks, tutorials and more.”

On an Instagram page managed by her mom and dad, Zhuri has posted several cute photos and videos, including adorable pics of her with her mom as well as the James family pup, a French bulldog called Indigo.

As the youngest James sibling, Zhuri’s interests are of course still developing, but her dancing skills have already gone viral on TikTok.

Back in 2020, The Score shared an adorable video of all five James family members performing a choreographed dance, with Zhuri grooving along with some impressive moves.
