LeBron James' youngest son Bryce recreated a legendary viral meme produced by his father a few years ago.

On his Instagram story on Friday, Bryce posted his own version of James' story.

"Smiling through it all! Can't believe this is my life," Bryce captioned the photo of him in the pool.

James has given NBA fans plenty of memes over the years, and it's good to know Bryce can laugh with the rest of the social media world.

The original meme, posted by LeBron back in 2018, has become one of the most famous memes from the Los Angeles Lakers star, and now Bryce has his own version.

The James family has had plenty to smile about in recent weeks, as the Lakers recently drafted Bronny James with the No. 55 pick in the NBA draft. Shortly after, James agreed to return to Los Angeles on a two-year, $104 million contract, confirming that he will be on the same team as his son next year.

The pairing of James alongside Bronny will be the first time a father and son both played in the NBA at the same time and played on the same roster. It's a dream come true for Bronny to reach the NBA, but also for James to get to team up with his son.

Perhaps James could have the chance to be on the same team as both of his sons, as Bryce has turned into a talented player as well. A member of the Class of 2025, 247Sports considers him to be a 3-star prospect, and he's already received a handful of collegiate offers.

It would be a bit of a stretch for James to play alongside Bryce as well as Bronny, but he has continuously surprised the NBA world throughout his illustrious career.
