LeBron James' youngest Zhuri James stops Savannah James from swearing at the 2023 ESPY Awards

It was quite a night for LeBron James at the 2023 ESPYS as his family presented him with the Best Record-Breaking Performance award. As Savannah James, LeBron's wife, showered praises on her husband, the youngest of the James family, Zhuri, stopped her mother from swearing.

"As the ESPYs honor Lebron for the NBA All-time scoring record, I decided I want to tell you what I think. I think LeBron James is the baddest moth---," said Savannah before Zhuri tapped her arm.

Savannah is seldom seen in public events, but this time, she showed up on the stage to speak about her husband. After receiving the award, Lebron had this to say about his wife:

"I just want to start of first of all about thanking my beautiful and amazing wife Savannah. If any of you know her, I know there are a few people that know her, she don't ever do sh*t like this," said James to kick off his acceptance speech. "The fact that I'm loving it that you all see the queen that I'm with every day, Kudos to you baby."

The eldest among the James children, Bronny James, is about to play college basketball for the University of Southern California and will look to impress NBA scouts before entering the 2024 NBA draft.

Bryce James, their second child, is currently 16 years old. He recently transferred from Sierra Canyon to Campbell Hall School before his junior year.

LeBron shut down retirement talks during his acceptance speech at the ESPYS, saying that he looks to have another strong campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2023-24 NBA season.

Last season, the four-time NBA MVP averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

"This is unexpected but really incredible. I want to thank you so much for believing in me in this unbelievable tribute," said Anthony.
