Behind every good man, there is a better woman.
LeBron speaks on that clearly in this new interview with the Hollywood Reporter. It is amazing that LeBron has his hand in all these projects, still has time for social activism and be the best basketball player in the world.
Here is what he had to say about Savannah.
At Harlem’s Fashion Row gala in lower Manhattan on Sept. 4, where James was the honoree, he delivered an impassioned speech about the influence of the women in his life; his mom, Gloria, and Savannah were there and were the subject of his talk. “We have been down since high school. I listen to a lot of rap music, and a good friend of mine said, ‘You wasn’t with me shooting in the gym,'” he said, referencing a line by Drake about Kobe Bryant that suggests Bryant’s then-estranged wife, Vanessa, did not deserve half of Bryant’s fortune in a divorce settlement because she didn’t earn it. (The two remain together.) From the stage, James looked at his wife and said, “But in all actuality, Savannah was with me shooting in the gym when I [had] absolutely nothing.”
Later, asked if that was a dig at Bryant, James says: “I do know that when [Drake] said it, it was about Kobe Bryant, but Kobe Bryant wasn’t even in my thoughts. [Savannah] was down when I was at my high school, no cameras, no lights. And she was there with me. You wouldn’t be talking to me right now if it weren’t for her. But I got way too much respect not only for Kobe but for Vanessa [to insult them]. That’s so below me. That would have been like a Donald Trump remark.”
I definitely encourage you to read the entire article it is great. This is also why Savannah is the GOAT.
