LeBron James’ Wife Savannah Refused to Give Her Number Until the “Akron Hammer” Used His Final Weapon

LeBron James is a total winner. He is an NBA legend. He played his 19th season and is already training for his 20th. Even at 37 years of age, LeBron showed his class all throughout the season. Unfortunately, the Lakers had one of the worst seasons in history, but individually LeBron was absolutely brilliant.

Not only that, but he also broke records. He now stands at 2nd in the list for most points in the history of the NBA. LeBron will surely break the record of most points and surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This season he also became the only player with 10,000 points, assists and rebounds each in the history of the game.

With 4 NBA championships, 4 MVPs, and 4 finals MVPs, no one can deny that LeBron is an absolute winner on the basketball court.

But not only on the court, LeBron proved to be a winner in life off the court even before his NBA career started.

How LeBron James convinced Savannah James to give him her number

LeBron and Savannah were in the same major in high school before LeBron joined the NBA in 2003. Before he started playing basketball in the league, he had already impressed the NBA world with his high school games. One more person who he impressed was Savannah, but it was not easy for him to even get her number when the two were just 16 and 17 years old.

LeBron asked a common friend for Savannah’s number. But Savannah refused. In fact, she took LeBron’s number from the friend without giving her own. One day she thought about ‘the guy’ who was interested in her and decided to make contact. LeBron decided that he wouldn’t just simply meet her. So he invited her to one of his games. 

Back then, LeBron was this up-and-coming talent who, for most people, was on his way to NBA superstardom. And Savannah was this sweet 16-year-old cheerleader girl who also played softball. Moreover, Savannah had not seen any of his games and was not on the ‘hype train’ for LeBron in Akron. But that one game invitation did the trick for LeBron as she was awestruck by the support of so many people and was impressed.
