Brony James being LeBron James’ oldest son, faced high expectations and scrutiny, handling them all with admirable poise. According to LeBron, Bronny’s success is thanks to his mom, Savannah James.
“Savannah is the rock in our household,” LeBron proudly shared. “She sets the rules, she guides us all—she does it all.” He explained that his own role was just to add a “sprinkle” to Savannah’s “unbelievable recipe.” Hearing teachers and parents praise their kids is, to him, a mark that their household values are making an impact beyond their home.
Savannah’s role behind the scenes is far more than just avoiding the spotlight. As a mother of three, she’s embraced the responsibilities of running their home, raising their children, and supporting her husband, especially with LeBron often away for work. Ensuring their kids remain grounded despite their father’s fame and wealth is no small task, but Savannah has done it with grace, and LeBron couldn’t be more grateful for her efforts.
LeBron shared an essential lesson they instill in their kids: “It doesn’t cost a dime to be nice to people.” Known for his own commitment to community, it’s a value Savannah supports deeply. In a 2018 interview with Cleveland Magazine, she shared that, while private, she steps forward for causes she believes in, particularly to give back—a lesson Bronny has also embraced.
LeBron explained further, “It’s never about them. It’s about the people around them.” He and Savannah were raised to prioritize others, and they’re working to pass those values on to their kids, so wherever they go in life, they’ll have the “tools” to uplift others. As LeBron emphasized, kindness costs nothing.
Together, LeBron and Savannah are more than role models; they’re creating a legacy of kindness, humility, and community. Their approach shows that true greatness comes not only from personal success but from lifting others as well. Bronny, too, has earned a similar reputation, and as LeBron noted, it’s all thanks to his mom.
