What’s a king without his queen? From the king of the jungle to the king of the NBA, that remains constant. While we gasp at LeBron James‘ magnificence on the court each passing year, his deepening relationship with Savannah James gives us something to gape at, too. Can their relationship be any more special, though? In LeBron’s words, there is and there always will be room for growth, as a special confession surfaces on Valentine’s Day.

With the world celebrating love, how could LeBron James not join in? The 40-year-old shared his thoughts on his Instagram story, “100%” agreeing with Uninterrupted’s post that had a tearjerking message. The post featured a heartfelt clip where LeBron and Savannah expressed their love for each other. “We are two peas in a pod. He’s my bestie,” an emotional Savannah shared. The scene moves to the Lakers star as he pours his heart and soul to deliver the wisdom he accumulated in 12 years of marriage.

“You get older and you really start to dial in on this sh*t that’s really important. You really understand what the true meaning of a partner is. You really truly understand what family really truly means,” LeBron said. Being a responsible husband and caring father to three, the 40-year-old has been seen putting his family over anything over the years. Be it his big night on the court or a business expansion to boost his billionaire status, the James gang is always there.

“Then your eyes, you’re able to see more. I wouldn’t be who I am. I wouldn’t have the career that I’ve had. I wouldn’t be who I am without her,” Bron added. Echoing the same sentiment, Savannah took over to say, “I’m proud of us, keeping a sense of normalcy in such an abnormal situation is a part of doing it our way.”

Times have been testing at certain points of their married life when controversies took over. But it was never able to shatter the special bond they had. It grew stronger as it shaped the past, present and future of NBA icon. All he wanted to do was to show his gratitude to her.

LeBron James credits Savannah for his NBA career in heartfelt message

In about 48 hours, LeBron James will be taking the court for his 21st NBA All-Star appearance. Since his snub in 2004, the 4-time NBA champ has been selected for every single one of the prestigious weekends. But that wouldn’t be the case if Savannah wasn’t by his side since 2013.

In LeBron’s words, Savannah was the enabler he needed to reach the pinnacle of basketball. “Savannah has allowed me to basically be as great as I wanted to be with my career and my journey,” LeBron said in a recent Uninterrupted post. Confirming his desire to be number one, James credited his wife for helping him to that goal. “She knew I wanted to be the greatest of all time and Savannah allowed me to do that by basically saying I got this at the house, don’t worry about it, I got it.”

To Bron, Savannah is the greatest, the MVP of the James household. Every time he chased his dreams, Savannah was like, “I got Bronny, I got Bryce, I got Zhuri, I got him and you just like you’re trying to say thank you but you like so f–king high at that point, she don’t even hear you,” LeBron concluded.

Right before hitting the court for the All-Star weekend, LeBron showcased the side of Savannah that truly makes her the Queen, and his unparalleled love for his wife would surely melt everyone’s hearts. What a perfect way to kick off the star-studded event! Savannah will undoubtedly show her support for her husband from the courtside as well. So, catch the pair giving major couple goals from there
