Many might know LeBron James’ wife, Savannah James, as an entrepreneur, but not many are away of her ability to play golf. Savannah has always been around athletes. Her husband and sons are athletes and LeBron is undoubtedly one of the best NBA stars ever.

After being around a house full of athletes, it’s normal for Savannah to pick up a sport. While she’s not showcased her skill much, recently, Savannah James shared a video on social media where she was showing off her impressive golf swing. Savannah seemed to be having a great time taking a swing at night and she captioned her post:

“I’m not a golfer, I’m an athlete.”

LeBron James has more time on the court and he’s expected to play one more season with the Los Angeles Lakers before retiring. While he’s not addressed the rumors about retirement, James already started swinging a golf club. Many speculate that he’ll take up to the sport after his retirement.

LeBron James proved that age is only a number as his stellar performance continues on the court. The star player is ready to give it one more shot at the championship.

Savannah James Celebrates 12 Years With LeBron

The NBA star celebrated his anniversary with Savannah recently. The couple has been married for 12 years now and recently Savannah shared their relationship milestone on social media. James and Savannah started their relationship back in Akron, Ohio during their high school days.

James shared a message on Instagram with a caption:

“@mrs_savannahrj Happy Anniversary my beautiful I love you mama!”

It was the NBA star who invited Savannah James to a basketball game and things escalated from there.

Despite being married to one of the biggest players in the NBA, Savannah is still not used to all the paparazzi. Along with the fame came certain responsibilities and Savannah was never fond of it.

“When you want met to be on a TV show or walk the red carpet or something, I definitely get a little bit clammy. That’s a bit out of my comfort zone,” Savannah James said.
