Being arguably the greatest basketball player of all time doesn't prevent LeBron James from hearing trash talk at home.

As James was shooting hoops with his sons, Bryce called his dad "trash" and said he was getting lucky making those shots.

LeBron responded by telling Bryce he's "GOAT, bro."

"I'm the GOAT." 🐐<br><br>LeBron had to make it known after Bryce's trash talk 😂<br><br>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/bryce_james23?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bryce_james23</a>) <a href="https://t.co/dgequq2JBL">pic.twitter.com/dgequq2JBL</a>

It would be one thing to poke fun at LeBron if he were missing these shots, but every attempt seen on camera goes in.

Now in his 21st season, LeBron had the best three-point shooting year of his career. He connected on 41.0 percent of his attempts from behind the arc. It's unclear if he was shooting from three-point range in the driveway, but it looked close enough to count from NBA range.

Bryce is one year away from going to college. He currently plays at Sierra Canyon High School and is a 4-star prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, per 247Sports' composite rankings.
