“Savannah James Had a Jaw Drop Moment!”: LeBron James Impresses Wife and Mother, Records 47 Points on 38th Birthday
The Los Angeles Lakers registered a 130-121 win over the Atlanta Hawks last night. LeBron James, playing on his 38th birthday, was excellent. Considering how the team was on the road for his 38th birthday, his wife, Savannah James, and mother, Gloria James, flew in from Los Angeles for the same.
With the two most important women of his life sitting courtside, The King delivered a majestic performance. He put up 47 points, ten rebounds, and nine assists, leading the Lakers to a much-needed win.
His 47-point performance ties Stephen Curry for the 4th most points scored in a game on the player’s birthday. He holds the 3rd spot with his 48-point performance against the Hawks on his 25th birthday.

Savannah James was surprised as LeBron James attacked the rim
LeBron James and Savannah have been together since high school. She’s seen his meteoric rise to fame and has also been with him through tough times. She must have seen LBJ attack the rim and dunk it over people countless times. However, last night, watching him soar up and slam the ball left her and LBJ’s mother, Gloria in awe.

After the game, LeBron shared his plans for the night. He was going to take his family and teammates out for a party, to celebrate his 38th birthday.
