But it turns out his second son, Bryce Maximus James, takes after LeBron’s on-court behavior in another way. King James posted a video to his [Instagram](https://instagram.com/kingjames/) that features Bryce imitating the basketball star’s signature celebration, “The Silencer.” While plenty of [football players](http://www.complex.com/sports/2015/09/history-football-players-borrowing-lebron-james-the-silencer-celebration/ezekiel-elliott) have copied the move, the 8-year-old proves that shared DNA is the key to perfect execution of his father’s high-knees, chest-slapping maneuver. The boy also lets out a LeBron-esque scream to top it all off. Like father, like son. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4046956/lebron-james-son-lebron-impression/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4046956/lebron-james-son-lebron-impression/"},"headline":"Here's LeBron James' Son Doing an On-Point Impression of His Dad","datePublished":"2015-09-23T20:24:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:08.999Z","description":"\"Hit em with the 'Silencer'\"","url":"https://time.com/4046956/lebron-james-son-lebron-impression/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Basketball","Sports topic","Lebron James","Instagram","NBA"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4046956/lebron-james-son-lebron-impression/","name":"Here's LeBron James' Son Doing an On-Point Impression of His Dad"}}]}] ```
