LeBron James once let it be known that he apologized to his wife, Savannah James, for losing track of how important she was to him. 

LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to have ever taken to NBA hardwood. He’s accomplished enough to put his name in the same breath as legends like Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul –Jabbar and he’s still got a couple more years left in the tank in terms of competing for yet another championship. 

The 4x champ has been relentless in his pursuit for being the greatest of all time and has even said openly that he believes he achieved that goal after coming back from down 3-1 in the 2016 NBA Finals. Despite LeBron James considering himself to be the ‘GOAT’ at that particular moment, he would go on to reveal that that wasn’t enough.

“I said, ‘Because the journey that I’m on to want to be the greatest to ever play this game or to the point where no one ever forgets what I accomplished, I’ve at times lost the fact of how important you are to this whole thing,’” said the 4x champ back in 2017. 

LeBron would continue to tell Savannah,”I want you to understand that along this journey, while I’m playing this game there will be times that I lose the fact of how important you and my three kids are.”
