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

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.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
