LeBron James‘ wife, Savannah, has always been a staunch advocate for her family and has never stopped supporting them. In the Tuesday episode of her podcast with April McDaniel, “Everybody’s Crazy,” James told the story of how she defended her son, Bronny from a heckler.

The two co-hosts discussed their experiences dealing with in-game hecklers. Savannah talked about how she had to stand up for her son, the LA Lakers rookie.

“When I had the baby on my hip [I was] about to go and try to fight a man,” Savannah said. “He was flicking Bronny off in a game. And you know how you say you gotta be an adult and talk to the people head on, I marched up them bleachers with Zhuri, little tiny Zhuri. (37:37)

“What am I going to do? I’m talking to a man, ‘So you flicking my son off? That’s what we doing at this game?’ ‘Oh, no. I was doing that to my son, that’s what we do.’ Okay, so now you crazy. You just randomly flipping your son off while playing the game, that’s odd.”

Savannah did not elaborate on the exact time it occurred. However, she ended her analysis by stating that “people are just crazy.”

LeBron James’ wife shared how she handles her son’s haters

LeBron James’ wife is aware of the scrutiny that comes with being a basketball player. More people have started criticizing Bronny now that her firstborn is playing in the NBA.

On her podcast, Savannah talked about how she handles “negativity” after a caller asked for advice.

“I tried to stay away,” Savannah said. “Not stay away from the game, just stay away from the people so I don’t hear the banter. But I can’t say that I didn’t try it a couple of times with a baby on my head… I’m an overprotective parent, too, and there’s only so much that you could take, especially when these are kids.” (35:24)

Savannah added that she is aware of her limits when protecting her children. She said that to help her relax, she needed to master breathing exercises. Additionally, James’ girlfriend stated that she needed to restrain herself from using profanity toward others.

Aside from Bronny, Savannah has another son who plays basketball at a high level. The second-born in the James family, Bryce, is in his senior year of high school and made a return to Sierra Canyon.
