LeBron James is not just known for his dominance on the basketball court, but also for the strong bond he shares with his wife, Savannah James. In the newly released Starting 5 docu-series, fans get a closer look at the power couple and their journey together, particularly how Savannah’s unwavering support has allowed LeBron to chase greatness and become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
In one of the most touching clips from the series, LeBron reflects on a historic achievement—breaking the 40,000-point mark, becoming the first player in NBA history to do so. Both LeBron and Savannah take time to reflect on what this milestone means, not just in terms of his career, but in their lives together.
Savanah James: “To be there and experience that with him and to kind of have an understanding of the names below him and how this is really a historic moment, like, happening in front of me, I was just, my heart was full, like, I was just super happy for him. And, I mean, I couldn’t believe it, but I could believe it.”
LeBron James: “Savannah has allowed me to basically be as great as I wanted to be with my career and my journey because 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.”
“That is f**k, she’s the greatest. You get lost in your own journey because you’re trying to like push the limit push the throttle see how far you can go oh s**t, that’s the sky oh what’s beyond that I’m trying to go past that.”
“Oh, that’s what’s up there. I’m trying to go, you know, I want to go beyond that. Like there’s no ceiling, you know, and while you’re on that trajectory, you know, you’re at at times you’re looking down like, oh, s**t, my family’s down there.”
“Oh, I got to, you know, and they’re like, Savannah’s like, go, f**k it, go. We know you’re coming back. F**k, just go. 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’re like so fucking high at that point that she don’t even hear you.”
Savannah James: “My heart is full to know that he sees the work on the other side, even though I’m not like, you know, pumping and sweating and doing all the things. Like, it looks easy, but it’s definitely nice for that to be noticed.”
LeBron James: “I don’t see anybody else that would allow me to do that. I don’t see any other partner or best friend that would allow me to do that.”
