NBA superstar LeBron James had fans questioning his intentions when he recognized his love for his wife of nearly nine years, Savannah James

In his post that received over 2 million likes, he shouted out the entrepreneur and philanthropist for being his “rock,” saying, “Been my [rock emoji] holding this s–t down from the very first jump ball! I’m simply letting you and the world know I aint s–t without you!”

The four-time champion ended his caption by calling Savannah his “girlfriend aka best friend aka wife!” 

LeBron and Savannah started dating in high school and have been together for 20 years; finally tying the knot in 2013. They share three kids together: Bronny, Bryce and their youngest, Zhuri. 

While fans were eating the post up and commenting encouraging words such as, “It’s the black love for me!” and “behind a great man there is ALWAYS a great woman”, there were some comments speculating the intention behind the NBA star’s post. 

One comment said, “Lmaoo what did you do bro? [crying emoji]” following another comment of: “please tell me Drew Sidora isn’t the reason behind this appreciation post.”

Fans have come up with their own theories behind his post after the most recent episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” 

A scene takes place in the show where the ladies had a discussion on who the most famous person to ever hit on them was. 

When it became cast member Drew Sidora’s turn to tell her tea, she alleged that “a certain king of the NBA” bought her a drink. 

While the actual name of the person Drew was talking about had been censored out, speculations arose that she was talking about LeBron James. 

One of Drew’s cast mates, Kenya Moore, even joked in her confessional saying, “Child, Drew is talking about LaQuan.. Y’all just heard it wrong.” 

Whether the encounter happened or not — reportedly before James was married — the basketball superstar let everyone know that there is only one woman for him, and that woman is Savannah James.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
