LeBron James' wife Savannah James reacts to son Bronny James' first NBA points
LeBron James' wife Savannah James expressed love for her son Bronny James after he scored his first NBA points. Bronny got the opportunity to showcase his skills during the Lakers' 134-110 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. It was a meaningful moment for the James family, as Bronny’s first NBA basket came in the same arena where LeBron played for 11 years and led the city to its first championship.
After seeing her son score his first points in the NBA, Savannah shared a heartfelt reaction. She posted a video of Bronny’s first basket on her Instagram story, expressing her pride and affection with emojis.
Bronny returned to the court after missing the last three games, with Coach JJ Redick subbing him in as the Lakers trailed by double digits with only a few minutes left, eliminating any chance of a comeback.
