They say behind every great man is a great woman, and there’s no better proof for the adage than LeBron and Savannah James. LeBron is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, a four-time champion, and the greatest player of his generation. He’s also one of the sports world’s foremost philanthropists and entrepreneurs. And he has reiterated many times that nothing would have been possible without Savannah by his side.

LeBron is known to be a great dad. But as someone who’s played 22 seasons in the NBA, it’s not always possible for him to be around. Savannah’s got him covered, though. Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri have all been in great hands when LeBron was breaking records and winning championships.
Savannah is the unsung hero of the James family, but every once in a while, she gets to step out and get a little bit of recognition for herself. That’s exactly what she did late last night with a viral Instagram post that’s already garnered over 100,000 likes in less than nine hours.
Savannah’s post didn’t go unnoticed by LeBron, who commented on X with eight drooling emojis. Eight was also what three-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson had in mind, as in Savannah “ate” with her jaw-dropping ‘fit.
“What’s 4 + 4 ???????” the Las Vegas Aces star asked.

A’ja and LeBron share a close bond, so her comment doesn’t come as a surprise here. He’s often referred to Wilson as his ‘lil sis’ and has always made it a point to celebrate her achievements on social media.
It’s also not the first time LeBron has been expressing his love and admiration for Savannah, be it on social media or directly. He has ensured over the years to let the world know just how he feels about his wife of over 11 years.
LeBron and Savannah have been a model couple
LeBron is always there with a playful bunch of emojis whenever Savannah gets to show off, but he’s also shown how seriously he values their relationship. On his Mind the Game podcast just three weeks ago, he talked about how Savannah was the backbone of the family.
Savannah reciprocated that appreciation. At the 2023 ESPYs, she talked about LeBron being a great father and husband, a champion for the community, and a stalwart in the fight against injustice, calling him “The legend, the king, and yes, the GOAT.”
LeBron takes a lot of heat from his haters, and to be fair, he brings a bit of it upon himself sometimes. But there’s no denying that this man has won at life.
He’s an all-time great player with a beautiful wife and kids who love him. Even if the Lakers suffered a disappointing end to their season, it’s still good to be the King.
