LeBron James with his wife Savannah

LeBron James has hinted at some friction within his marriage, although it’s not to say that it’s headed toward disaster.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has admitted that his longtime relationship with his spouse, Savannah James, has not always been great, which is nothing shocking. It comes with the territory.

LBJ and Savannah have been married since 2013, but have been together since high school. Parents to three children, Bronny Bryce, and Zhuri, they have been an item for over 20 years.


According to LeBron, who was a recent guest on the ‘360 With Speedy’ show, things haven’t always been rosy.

“We’ve been together since high school, so s*** ain’t always gonna be a bed of roses, in any relationship, let alone someone you’re living with for over 20 years,” he told host Speedy Morgan.

The four-time MVP also offered his recipe for a successful marriage, which includes communication, honesty, and being comfortable with discomfort.

“You can’t always have it your way, you can’t always think that ‘my way or the highway.’ It’s never gonna work that way. The saying happy wife, happy life: that s*** real, bro,” he said.

James, who recently went viral for doing pilates with his wife, was overheard back in June saying Savannah wants him to “f***ing retire in the next year or so.” Fans obviously aren’t pleased that she might be forcing him to leave the game.

Fortunately, he told Morgan, “Retirement is coming, it is coming. It’s just not here yet.”

Even so, he has been linked with a move away from the NBA to play in a new professional basketball league.

The 40-year-old previously made no secret of his desire to play with his first son, Bronny, and realized that dream last season, sharing the court with his eldest as Lakers teammates.

Of course, he would like to leave the game with at least one more championship, but he’s also become the highest scorer in NBA history, a feat which might never be surpassed.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.


From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
