"I always need a sidekick, and Savanna James is exactly that!": LeBron James came up with odd analysis of why the James marriage has worked

Years before tying the knot, LeBron James and Savannah Brinson revealed the reasons why they have a successful relationship.

Ever since LeBron James entered the league as a young 18-year-old, King James and Savannah Brinson have been one of the power couples in the sporting world. High school sweethearts since 2002, the two personalities have been married for nearly a decade today. Being the idle couple they are, both the Ohio natives have achieved greatness in their own ways.

LeBron, on one hand, is considered to be the greatest player the league has ever seen. One of the most accomplished athletes, LBJ has managed to achieve all the silverware possible. An overly-stacked trophy cabinet includes 18 All-Star appearances, 18 All-NBA selections, 4 MVPs, 4 championships, and 4 Finals MVPs, among several other accolades.

On the other hand, Savannah is a successful businesswoman, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and designer, among several other positive attributes.
