LeBron James has made headlines once again, but this time it’s not about his on-court prowess. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar was recently caught on video enjoying a summer gathering with his wife, Savannah James, and friends, passionately singing along to Kendrick Lamar’s track “Not Like Us.” This song has been interpreted as a diss towards fellow artist Drake, adding an intriguing layer to LeBron’s public persona.
LeBron and Savannah were surrounded by friends, including Maverick Carter, as they enthusiastically belted out the lyrics, showcasing a playful side of the NBA icon. The moment was captured in a video that quickly gained traction on social media, illustrating just how much fun the couple was having during the offseason.
This summer has been busy for LeBron, who is eager to position the Lakers for a championship run. He has made it clear to the organization that he wants to compete now, rather than waiting for a future season. The Lakers appear to be shifting their focus, potentially building a roster around rising star Luka Dončić, which could include LeBron’s son, Bronny James. The younger James showed promise during the Lakers’ Summer League, demonstrating his ability to run the offense and shoot effectively from beyond the arc.
LeBron’s relationship with Drake has been a topic of interest for years. The two have shared a close friendship, with LeBron even featuring in Drake’s hit song “Forever” back in 2009. Their friendship blossomed after LeBron attended the release party for Drake’s “So Far Gone” mixtape. However, tensions have surfaced following Kendrick Lamar’s public feud with Drake, which seems to have influenced LeBron’s loyalties. The NBA star’s support for Lamar has reportedly strained his relationship with the Canadian rapper, leading to speculation about a permanent rift between them.
Meanwhile, Bronny James has been making headlines of his own. In his second NBA Summer League, he averaged 14.3 points, 3.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in about 24 minutes per game. His shooting was impressive, hitting 47.6% from the field and 35.3% from three-point range. Lakers assistant coach Lindsey Harding praised Bronny’s growth, noting his increased confidence and leadership skills during the games.
Bronny has also visibly transformed physically, adding muscle to his frame, which he acknowledged. “Yeah, for sure,” he said when asked about his physical development. “I definitely had to get my body right for the NBA’s level of physicality.”
As the NBA offseason continues, the spotlight remains on the James family, both for their musical antics and their basketball pursuits. LeBron’s playful moment with Savannah is a reminder that even the biggest stars enjoy downtime and the company of loved ones, while Bronny’s development hints at a promising future for the James legacy in the NBA.
With the new season on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating what the Lakers will bring to the court, especially with the potential roster changes and the ongoing evolution of Bronny James. As the drama unfolds off the court, one thing is clear: the James family continues to be a central figure in both basketball and pop culture.
