Graduation day is a big deal in any family, but when you’re the son of NBA legend LeBron James, things come with a little extra spotlight. Bryce James just wrapped up his high school journey to Sierra Canyon, and while all eyes were on him in his cap and gown, it was his mom, Savannah, who ended up stealing a little of the show without even meaning to.
Savannah posted a heartfelt video tribute to Bryce on social media, a proud mom moment filled with love, encouragement, and emotion. The clip featured moments of Bryce in his graduation gear, standing tall with his classmates, and beaming with that quiet confidence he’s known for. It was a beautiful moment until the very end, when Savannah added one tiny, hilarious detail.

But that’s what moms do, right? They give you everything support, strength, love and then, without warning, they sprinkle in just enough childhood embarrassment to keep you grounded. Whether intentional or not, Savannah reminded the world that no matter how tall or talented your son is, he’s still your kid. Even if that kid is 6’6″ with college scouts watching his every move.
The nickname raised eyebrows and whether it’s just a phase or something Bryce will be stuck with for a while, it was the kind of real-life moment that cuts through all the polished graduation posts and reminds us that behind every rising star is a mom who still sees her little boy.
“I love you, Stinky,” she wrote at the close of her message. That’s right. Stinky. A nickname that clearly holds meaning between just the two of them. And while it was sweet and harmless, it also gave off big “Mom, not in front of everyone!” energy. You could almost hear Bryce’s internal cringe as his mom’s affectionate secret slipped into the public eye.
Because whether you’re the son of a basketball icon or just another high school grad, moms will always find a way to sneak in a little love… and a little embarrassment. What, you’ve never had your mom embarrass you like that?
