Savannah James has been there to witness it all.
LeBron James’ wife was sitting courtside at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday when the 38-year-old Lakers star surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
Savannah — who has been by James’ side long before he signed his first NBA contract with the Cavaliers in 2003 — spoke about his professional journey in a heartfelt video, which also featured congratulatory messages from his whole family.
