Time flies.

Cliché, but the adage struck LeBron James especially hard on Wednesday morning.

That's when the three-time NBA champion took to his Instagram account and shared a post about his sons' — LeBron James Jr. and Bryce Maximus James — first day of school.

Bronny and Bryce are starting the sixth and fourth grade, respectively, already?

Look as King James wonders where the time went.

If you recognize Bronny, in particular, it's probably because the 11-year-old has lit youth basketball on fire, already counting scholarship offers from Duke and Kentucky.

Yeah, he's watching the throne for real.

We hope LeBron's sons enjoy their first day back to school and have a productive year. At least, LeBron and his wife, Savannah, will still have their baby girl, Zhuri, in the house with them.

Meanwhile, King James and the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers are just over a month away from the start of their preseason, which begins October 5.
