Parenting isn’t as easy as it seems, and no matter how hard you plan to spend time with your kids, the ownership of professionalism does come your way, and there is no mercy for the King either. Context? You’ve probably seen LeBron James soaking up the All-Star break with his daughter Zhuri — playing and working out. But now that Daddy’s busy miles away with the Lakers, the little one had to find a new practice buddy at home. And no, it’s not mom Savannah James or the brothers either as one is busy switching between the NBA and G League, and the other’s shaping his future at Sierra Canyon. So, who is it?

Any guesses? Let’s drop a hint: this someone’s been a star in LeBron’s stories in the last few years. Still stumped? Here’s the scoop. Fans often get sneak peeks of James’ family moments, thanks to their social media game. And how could this one slip by? The moments were captured by Savannah and shared with her Instagram family, as Zhuri was spotted practicing volleyball with Indigo. It’s the French bulldog that LeBron adopted when he joined the Lakers. Since then, the pup has become an important part of the family. Savannah captioned the IG story, “Her volleyball practice partner 😂.” When Zhuri threw the ball at Indigo, it hit some perfect headshots. But wait, that wasn’t the only game they were playing. But did it end here? No.

In the next story, Savannah wrote, “And soccer 😂,” as Zhuri showed off her footy skills and even threw in a somersault. And Indigo? It was on guard, blocking shots like a pro. At one point, Zhuri couldn’t resist stepping on the ball and taking a little tumble. But no worries. She was rolling on the floor, laughing. Looks like she’s got a new love for soccer alongside those volleyball lessons. But that wasn’t all.

When the dad’s a basketball genius and the brothers Bronny and Bryce are following in his footsteps, how could Zhuri not show off some hoop skills? “And basketball 😂😂,” Savannah James stated. Zhuri was seen stomping the ball on the floor, but Indigo wasn’t making it easy, keeping up with its pace and defensive moves. One thing’s clear: Indigo’s got a thing for defense, no matter the sport. But Zhuri? With a talent for all these sports along with baseball, it’s tough to say which sport she’ll stick with.

LeBron and Savannah James’ daughter Zhuri shows off her baseball skills

LeBron just stepped down from the All-Star Game, with the NBA community buzzing over his last-minute decision. But how did he handle the criticism? Simple, he stayed quiet and spent quality time with his daughter. Guess that’s how the 40-year-old shuts down negativity, by turning to what matters most: family.

The 4x champion shared some adorable moments on his Insta story, and in one clip, Savannah’s daughter was seen practicing baseball with her dad. LeBron tried to throw her off with some footwork before pitching the ball, but Zhuri was way too composed to be fooled. Not only did she hit the ball, but she took off running and made a dramatic return to her spot, landing perfectly on the line.

And volleyball is obviously her thing, as we know by now from all the posts of Savannah James taking her to early morning sessions, with LeBron showing pride in her. While her sports future might still be up in the air, one thing’s for sure: she wants to be like her dad, a “jack of all trades,” the proverb half said is better, because they surely do not fit into the other half of it.
