Last night was a special one for LeBron James as he finally got to live his life-long dream of playing alongside his son, Bronny James, in a game for the Los Angeles Lakers.
But after the game, LeBron stayed at arm’s length from his wife Savannah, refusing to give the mother of his children a hug. He had a pretty good reason though, pointing out that he was “a little more sweaty” than normal after their 110-103 over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“I’m a little bit more sweaty,” LeBron said as he leaned over to kiss Savannah. “I’m a little bit more sweaty.”
Nevertheless, Savannah gave her husband just a little hug (though may have recoiled a tiny bit when she realized LeBron was telling the truth).
Lakers first win on opening night since 2016. LeBron and Bronny greet Savannah James after the game.

Fans certainly loved to see it:
“That’s a great moment! It’s awesome to see LeBron’s playful side with his family after a big win. You can feel the pride and joy in their interactions. Hope this season keeps the good vibes rolling!” one user remarked on X.
“did bron just kiss his teammates mom?” another joked.
“Can you imagine how Savannah felt She just watched her husband and son play together in a professional game Does this even happen in rec leagues?!?! Mind blowing,” wrote a third.
LeBron helped deliver the Lakers their first season-opening win since 2016. He had 16 points, five rebounds and four assists, while his son Bronny James made his NBA debut alongside him and had one rebound.
Will LeBron and Bronny lead the Lakers to the playoffs?
