Savannah James, LeBron James’ wife, has been close friends with WNBA superstar A’Ja Wilson, often showing support for each other. During Zhuri, the James family’s youngest, volleyball game on Sunday, Savannah shared a photo of her daughter, who was wearing Wilson’s featured shoes.

In her previous Instagram story, Savannah James was at Zhuri’s City Volleyball Club game in North Hollywood when the latter was wearing the Nike A’One “Pink Aura” on her right foot, while the “Indigo Girl” is donned on her left foot. Savannah tagged Wilson with heart emojis in her caption.

Another story then showed a close-up of Zhuri in Wilson’s shoes, while the following clip revealed the 10-year-old serving and diving on the floor, scoring a point for her team. Zhuri’s having fun in the sport.

Meanwhile, Zhuri’s elder brothers, Bronny and Bryce, aim to emulate LeBron James’ illustrious basketball career. Bryce will play for the Arizona Wildcats, while Bronny is playing with his father at the LA Lakers.

A’ja Wilson once spoke up about being compared to LeBron James

LeBron James is hailed as one of the NBA’s greatest, but to many’s oblivion, the Lakers superstar also has a WNBA counterpart: A’Ja Wilson. During an interview with the Wall Street Journal in October, Wilson, LV Aces icon, once spoke about being in the same greatness as James.

“Talk about a crown that’s heavy, I feel like that’s what it is, but I try to wear it with grace. Not necessarily the style of play, but just more so of like when people see me, and they see me play, they see someone who has put a lot of passion into the game… Obviously, when you are compared to LeBron James, you’re doing something right,” Wilson said.

Wilson had already won two WNBA titles, three MVP awards, and two DPOY awards in his seven seasons in the league. She is obviously on her way of becoming equally legendary as LeBron James.

LeBron James makes honest Michael Jordan statement

On Saturday’s live episode of the “Mind the Game” podcast, LeBron James responded to co-host Steve Nash’s question on where he would want to play in the previous era. The 21-time All-Star never hesitated, saying that he’d want to play with NBA icon Michael Jordan.

“I think our games would’ve complemented as well. MJ was a flat-out scorer. He had a scorer’s mentality,” James said.

LeBron James is undeniably one of the greatest as Michael Jordan, with the two often named as the GOATs of the NBA.
