Her wild shoutout for The King during this year’s ESPYs gave shades of Savannah’s sentimental side. Her emotions came from LeBron James’ feat of becoming the highest scorer in the NBA history.

Ten years after their celebrated wedlock, Savannah narrates her love story filled with twists and turns. Akin to a cliffhanger, the tale tests the King before bestowing him with a bond of lifetime.

It all started in the year 2001. LeBron James was already a star basketball player at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School and Savannah Brinson was a brilliant softball player and cheerleader at another nearby school. Fate intervened by bringing these two people together unexpectedly. When James invited Brinson out on a date, they did not know it would be the start of a love tale for the ages.
When a mutual acquaintance reported that LeBron had asked for Savannah’s phone number, her reaction to that was priceless.
Savannah recently spoke in an interview about this and said, “I’m like, um, nope. I’ll take his number. One day I’m sitting around, I was probably bored or something, and I’m like, Oh, I forgot! I have this number for this guy that I can call. He seemed interested, so let’s see”. And then she called him up, and they both met.
Nevertheless, their first date was amazing, but it was what happened the next day that truly captured Savannah’s heart.
LeBron presented her with their previous night’s restaurant leftovers, providing an early peek of his considerate personality. This modest act marked the start of a relationship that would only become stronger over time. From there, the couple’s bond grew so strong that it has been 10 years and they are still as much in love as they were in their high school days.
