Perhaps it was a peek into the future for LeBron James. 

The NBA superstar put down the powdered chalk and threw on a polo shirt as he helped coach up his son, Bryce James, during Nike’s Peach Jam in North Augusta, South Carolina.

Bryce James is playing for Strive for Greatness in the tournament, and the James duo had two-time NBA Champion Rajon Rondo there to help coach as well. 

The Peach Jam is one of the premier high school hoops tournaments in the country, and Chris Paul, Bradley Beal and Carmelo Anthony also have teams in the event. 

Plenty of videos made their way to social media of James coaching the team and Rondo giving instructions to a player off to the side. 

James was in the huddle by the bench drawing up a play and giving directions to players on where they need to be. 

Another focused on Rondo off to the side giving directions to another player. 

A video also shows James walking into the gym and high-fiving a number of people along the wall. 

Strive for Greatness has gone 1-1 in the tournament thus far.
