SACRAMENTO (Calif.) — LeBron James certainly knows how to make an entrance.

James, a four-time MVP of the NBA and a four-time champion, sent the Golden 1 Center crowd into a frenzy on Friday night when he and his family entered the arena just before tip-off for the California (CIF) Division 1 boys high school basketball championship game. You would have thought The Beatles were there to perform a concert by the screams coming from youngsters on hand.

James along with his wife and daughter sat courtside with other family members and watched as his youngest son Bryce and Sierra Canyon teammates won a state championship with a 58-53 victory over Lincoln of Stockton. Bryce is a senior who has committed to the University of Arizona.

It marked the first state title for the Trailblazers program since 2019. James' oldest son Bronny also played at Sierra Canyon and is currently a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryce scored three points, had five rebounds along with two assists and one blocked shot in the victory.

The Golden 1 Center in Sacramento is home to the Sacramento Kings and has hosted the CIF State Basketball Championships since opening in 2016.
