Savannah, LeBron’s wife of nine years and partner of 20 years, celebrated her “dope family,” with the outlet, which includes her parents, Jennifer and JK, and LeBron’s mother, Gloria.
“Everything isn’t for everybody,” she said of their low-key family dynamic, adding, “Excuse my language, but we a dope family.”
Speaking of Bronny, Savannah noted that this stage of his upbringing is about “getting to a place to start to make decisions about his career and where he wants to go in his life.”

The four-time NBA champion, 37, shouted out Bronny’s talent on the basketball court on social media in August, reacting to a one-handed dunk the teen made on the AXE Euro Tour, where he was playing for the California Basketball Club.
“OH MY GOODNESS BRONNY!!!!!,” LeBron wrote on Twitter along with ten shocked-face emojis after his oldest son scored against the U18 French Select team.
“Sheeesh!!!” commented Stephen Curry.
A side-by-side video of the Lakers player and his oldest son making similar dunks was later posted on ESPN’s Instagram, where commenters agreed that the resemblance between the father and son’s styles of play was striking.
