LeBron James has heard every rumor in the book — but this one? Even Savannah had to laugh.

It all started after history was made on Thursday night: Bronny James was drafted to the Los Angeles Lakers, meaning the NBA legend will almost certainly share the court with his firstborn next season. Fans were buzzing about the father-son duo — but leave it to social media to take the moment and spin it into a meme.

One X (formerly Twitter) user decided to joke:

“It has been discovered that LeBron James is sleeping with his newest teammate’s mom.”

The “teammate,” of course, being his own son.

Savannah didn’t just see the post — she shared it to her Instagram Story with a string of laughing emojis, proving she’s got no problem joining in on the fun.

It’s a perfect example of why fans love her: cool under pressure, quick with the humor, and unbothered by the noise.

LeBron himself has been open for years about his dream of playing alongside Bronny. Back in 2022, he told The Athletic:

“My last year will be played with my son. Wherever Bronny is at, that’s where I’ll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It’s not about the money at that point.”

And now, with Bronny officially a Laker, that dream is about to become reality — even if social media keeps finding ways to make the journey way more entertaining.

Savannah James perfectly responds to LeBron's 'teammate's mother' rumor

 

After months of worrying, the Lakers’ star LeBron James’ family can sigh a breath of relief as Bronny James has finally been selected in the 2024 NBA Draft round two. The cherry on the cake is his new home is the same as his father’s. As the announcement was made the 19-year-old guard’s mother, Savannah became emotional. However, once that moment passed she posted a hilarious story on Instagram which had the NBA community rolling on the floor laughing.

The story shared by Savannah had a post which said, “It has been discovered that LeBron James is sleeping with his newest teammate’s mom”. Mommy James displays a great sense of humor there. As LeBron and Bronny will be in the same team and Bronny is the Lakers’ latest pick so the humor fits perfectly.

Being the wife of LeBron James, Savannah is quite popular on social media. So it took no time for millions of fans to notice her post and it gradually spread on other social media platforms. As Legion Hoops posted it, the fans poured in to drop their reactions.

Finding the post amusing, a fan wrote “Lol, that’s something very bad” along with a series of laughing emojis.

Someone cracked a similar joke, “Savannah gave birth to her husbands teammate”.

 

“Oh the queen got some jokes,” added another fan.

“Lmaoo she funny”, claimed one fan.

“The James family is too funny”, read one of the comments.

Another fan added, “Vibes are immaculate in the James household.”

Following Bronny’s selection, LeBron is certainly on cloud nine as the 4-time champion expressed his desire to play with his son in the league but what about his younger son, Bryce?

Can LeBron James Play With Bryce as Well?

Now that Bronny’s future is locked with the Lakers, LeBron might decide to stay back with them. If the 39-year-old agrees to the franchise’s new massive offer, then he could stay for another three years.

This could possibly give Bryce James enough time to prepare himself and enter the league, considering everything goes right. That would give LeBron the opportunity to play with both his sons before his retirement.

LeBron’s younger son is in Sierra Canyon High School following his brother’s footsteps. The 17-year-old would require two more years of hard work to potentially experience the day Bronny is having.
