LeBron James has a general warning to men about women that he shared in a recent podcast interview.

Appearing on the Everybody's Crazy podcast hosted by his wife Savannah and April McDaniel, along with special guests such as Kai Cenat and others, LeBron gave some unfiltered opinions on why relationships fall apart quickly. He pointed out "cutthroat, ruthless (women)" that have emotionally hurt some players that he knows.

"It's some cutthroat, ruthless (expletives) out here right now, too," James said.

"Listen, I sit in the locker room and (expletives) now, and it's a lot of women out here that's now kinda flipped the script and, you know, some homies out here trying to be good, too, trying to figure it out and now they lookin' in the mirror saying, 'Damn what did I do wrong?'"

LeBron then joked that he doesn't count Savannah or April in that category.

"Homies -- it ain't you!" he added.

LeBron certainly hasn't had any lady troubles in his own life. He's been with Savannah since high school and married her in 2013. They have three kids with their oldest son Bronny already being LeBron's teammate in the NBA.

Lebron in 2025-26

As LeBron James heads into the 2025–26 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, anticipation is high—and so is the uncertainty. He formally exercised his $52.6 million player option to return for a record 23rd NBA season, reaffirming his commitment to compete for one more ring. At 40 years old and turning 41 midseason, LeBron’s ability to remain effective becomes a central storyline, especially as the Lakers attempt to balance his veteran leadership with the growing demands of a new core. However, LeBron’s early-season availability is clouded—he’s ruled out of opening night due to sciatica, with a tentative return window of 3–4 weeks, forcing the Lakers to navigate their start without him.

The Lakers’ roster entering 2025–26 features a mix of seasoned stars and newly assembled pieces aimed at supporting LeBron in his twilight years. Luka Dončić, acquired last season, is expected to shoulder ball-handling and shot creation duties, while other additions aim to bolster the interior and perimeter defense. The challenge will be meshing these parts quickly—especially with LeBron sidelined early—and managing heavy minutes for aging stars. Critics are already speculating this could be LeBron’s final season, which casts every matchup as both an opportunity and a test. If LeBron and company can overcome early setbacks and stay healthy, the Lakers still possess the horse-power and star power to push deep into the Western Conference.
