Savannah James has plenty to be proud of these days. Not only is her high school sweetheart, LeBron James, considered one of the greatest NBA players of all time, but their son Bronny James is poised to join LeBron on the Los Angeles Lakers, making them the first father-son duo in NBA history. On top of that, their younger son Bryce is emerging as another promising basketball talent, continuing the James family’s impressive legacy in the sport.
Watching her family excel on the biggest stage is a source of pride for Savannah, but she recently took her support to the virtual world in a fun and surprising way. During the Lakers’ media day, LeBron revealed that Savannah has started playing NBA 2K—specifically, playing as their son Bronny in the game.
“I have a video on my phone of Savannah playing NBA 2K,” LeBron shared with the media. “She does not play video games, but she went into practice mode and played with her son.”
For Savannah, who isn’t a regular gamer, it was a special moment of bonding and pride. The image of her picking up the controller and immersing herself in the virtual version of Bronny is a heartwarming glimpse into how much she enjoys watching her children’s journeys unfold.
