Bronny James' scare—Do you think the pressure on young athletes is too much these days?

Claps and congratulatory messages filled the air of the Classic Cat restaurant in West Hollywood on the night of August 27, 2022. As the star cast of guests starting from Carmelo Anthony, Russell Westbrook, Rich Paul, and Giveon sang happy birthday along with LeBron to wish Savanah James her 35th birthday, there was some tension brewing evading the on-lookers’ gaze. It was an inner struggle and a panic attack that accompanied Savannah, something she opened up about recently.

During the latest episode of Everybody’s Crazy podcast, the topic of their age came up, and this is where Savannah discussed her fear of aging. Co-host, April McDaniel stated how she’s fearless of turning to age and asked Savannah, to which she replied, “Yes…Probably 35.” After stating if was fun for her turning 30, she continued, “35, I was having a little bit of a panic attack. That’s when we was at the the kitty cat. And I’m not sure how I feel about 40. I’m not there yet, so we’ll see.”

Age is something her husband is continuing to defy at 39. But the story is much different for LeBron’s significant other half. To celebrate her 30th birthday, King James shelled out a whopping $180,000 plus amount on an all-white Ferrari Testarossa. On the 35th occasion, the LA Lakers star threw a surprise party for her wife. No one even traced the panic attack Savannah spoke about as she stepped out in a backless black dress with a thigh-high split up her left leg on that night. Allaying her fears on her 37th birthday might prompt LeBron to shelve another 6 figures on August 27.

Well, as it turns out, that isn’t the only thing she’s wary of. After spending 11 years together and going through the highs and lows, LeBron and Savannah are embarking on a new chapter in their life. Savannah is a dutiful wife, a caring mother, and now she’s about to join the NBA moms who are generally the MVPs of their sons’ lives. Thus far, Savannah has used her unconventional parenting methods with Bronny and Bryce, but her biggest fear is only about them.

“Damn one day they going to get a woman and they going to leave me,” Savannah James recently revealed this sinking feeling on a previous episode of her podcast. This came after Bronny was seen with his rumored girlfriend, Parker Whitfield during the Paris Olympics. With them growing up and finding another woman in their lives, Savannah fears straying away from her sons but amid all this, she finds strength in her daughter, 9-year-old, Zhuri.

Savannah gave birth to Bronny when she was only 18. At 20 she had Bryce and Zhuri came along a year after her marriage. And she became the inspiration she needed to overcome her fears. “I had a daughter for my third child. And it put a lot of things into perspective for me and I just wanted to be her role model basically,” Savannah said in a previous episode of her podcast.

Have an interesting take?

Apart from being a successful businesswoman, and handling LeBron’s portfolio of investments, Savannah dedicates most of her time to being the role model for her daughter. Recently the mother-daughter duo were seen vibing on the streets of LA making some moments to cherish for a lifetime. While her sons are devoting their lives to basketball, Savannah is focused on her daughter’s budding volleyball career.

Even on Zhuri’s social media, Savannah’s influence on her life is heavily noticed with the duo sharing dance moves and doing hair on multiple occasions. But time doesn’t stop for anyone and with Savannah set for the addition of another year on her life calendar, it’s probably time for her to take a page out of his evergreen husband’s book.
