Savannah James makes her opinion clear on her parenting approach with Bronny James & Co.
While LeBron James has spent most of his life in the spotlight, Savannah James has preferred to stay behind the scenes. Recently, the wife of the NBA icon gave a little insight into her parenting method with her three kids.
Being a mother has always been important to Savannah, which is why she doesn't try to share the limelight with her husband. The couple, which tied the knot back in the fall of 2013, has given birth to three kids. There are two sons, Bronny and Bryce, along with their daughter Zhuri.
During a recent episode of her "Everybody's Crazy" podcast, Savannah James faced questions about her parenting style. Mainly, how much is she in the kid's daily business? Savannah admitted she keeps close tabs on her children, but for good reason.
[5:30] "I do be in my kid's business, just a little bit," Savannah said. "I want my kids to learn in real time. I want them to know when they're doing something right and I want them to know when they're doing something wrong."
This year, Savannah saw another member of her family enter the NBA ranks. Following one year at USC, Bronny James was drafted by the LA Lakers. Before being sent to the G-League, he got to make history and play alongside his father on opening night on Oct. 22.
The NBA has seen father-son duos in the past, but this is the first time it's been done as teammates in league history.

While Savannah James stays out of the spotlight, she still prioritizes supporting her family in person. She is regularly in the arena to see LeBron James play and now is doing the same for her son.
After being drafted late in the second round this past summer (55th pick), it was expected that Bronny James was going to spend most of his time in the G League. The Lakers kept him around for the opening weeks of the season, where he got the chance to play on opening night and in his hometown. However, with the G Leauge season tipping off, Bronny is now with the South Bay Lakers.
Over the weekend, Bronny made his G League debut against the Salt Lake City Stars. He had a big group of supporters, including Savannah James. Others in attendance include LeBron and Lakers big man Anthony Davis.
Bronny logged 31 minutes in his first game with South Bay and finished with six points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals.
