It’s not easy being Savannah James for sure. You have the the whole media having a lens on your face pretty much 24/7, even when you’re known to be an introvert. But in times like these, she finds herself looking to the comfort of her family. She’d turn to no one other than her husband LeBron James and her children for when the going gets tough. And after seeing her most recent story, you can see why.

Savannah shared some supreme volleyball skill on display, courtesy of her daughter Zhuri. In the video captioned “Weekend Vibes🏐”, she’s seen in what seems to be the school gym. And from the video, it seems that the athletic talent runs deep in the family. While Bryce and Bronny are walking in the footsteps of their legendary father, Zhuri is set to make a name for herself in a differnt sport. And it’s moments like these that help Savannah excape from the spotlight, especially during moments of controversy.

In Vannah’s razzmatazz life, recent events have made the headlines more so than others. And that’s come in the form of Kevin Gates meddling in with her marriage with LeBron. It all began with Gates commenting some out-of-pocket aspects of the her gaze at Bron in a particular Instagram post. “I don’t like the way Savannah look at LeBron. I like the way them white women look at LeBron. As soon as he walked out there, they just be like, ‘Oh oh oh.’”

We all know LeBron‘s not one to back down from a fight- whether it’s on the court or off it. And when it comes to his family? It’s not even a question. Literally a day later, James responded to Gates with another post, labelling the artist a ‘peasant’. “Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants. Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it,” read the post.

The heat the King catches doesn’t end here, though. His success in his on-court bouts speaks volumes due to the fact that he’s dominating at 40 years of age. But its his recent losses that have put him under scrutiny, especially from keyboard warriors from around the world.

LeBron James accused of statpadding after game 1 loss to Timberwolves

There’s an Instagram video gone viral accusing James of throwing games to get his all time numbers up. But to be fair, does he need more recognition? LBJ leads the stats front in total points, rebounds, and assists out of every other player who’s graced NBA’s sacred hardwoods. He’s already the the GOAT for the ones that deem him so. So why does he have to throw games?

Let’s break it down. A loss in a playoff series would mean extra games. LeBron switches on demon mode whenever the playoffs roll about. But game 1 against the T-Wolves showed a side of the King that most didn’t think was possible. Despite playing at the Crypto.com Arena, they managed to get destroyed 117-95. LBJ’s scoreline for the game? 19/5/3 in 36 minutes, shooting 44.4% from the field and 20% from the 3PT line. For one on the come uppance, that’s understandable. But for someone like James averaging 28.4/9/7.2 in his playoff career? A far cry.

What’s your perspective on:

With Zhuri's volleyball skills, are the James kids destined to dominate different sports arenas?

Have an interesting take?

So all in all, it’s alleged that the Lakers star underperformed knowingly to justify more games, and padding his stats to prove his GOAT status. The fans see it as straight-up nonsense. But the narratives formed to make sense for an angle.

The higher you rise, the sharper the knives. LeBron James has completed basketball, so there’s bound to be haters. But that fame has gotten his wife Savannah James under controversy for arbitrary reasons. Well, at least she has Zhuri’s rise to stardom to keep her in comfort.
