LeBron James and his long-time wife Savannah
Spectrum (DR) / 9Mag TV (DR)

For the fourth time in his career, LeBron James will participate in the Olympic Games. But before his departure for France, we learned that the King had to respect a certain condition imposed by his wife. Even at 39, he is not free to move around.

In 2004, LeBron James received his first call-up to participate in the Olympic Games. A simple bronze medal was obtained by the United States team that year.

In 2008 and 2012, the Chosen One had managed to reach the top step of the podium with Team USA and his legendary teammates.

He will try to repeat this feat at the Paris Olympics this summer.

At 39, the Lakers superstar has lost some of his vivacity, but is still among the best basketball players in the world.

Steve Kerr therefore did not see himself depriving himself of his services with the national team.

However, the coach was clearly not the only one who had a say in this decision. Because as reported by ESPN ‘s Tim Bontemps , the voice of the King’s wife, Savannah James, also mattered.

LeBron’s revelation about Savannah and her participation in the Olympics

LeBron James said he had to ask Savannah if he was allowed to play with Team USA this summer.

LeBron James may be a boss on the court and be listened to religiously by his teammates, but he also sometimes has to bow to his wife’s demands. Given the age of the four-time NBA champion, it would have been possible for Savannah to ask him to rest and spend time with his family.

Finally, we will have the chance to see LBJ in the arenas of France. That said, this little story had the gift of making some Internet users laugh.

Savannah is the one who wears the pants in the family.

Never forget who’s boss😂

In just 3 weeks, we will be able to admire the talent of LeBron James on the French courts. However, it has been revealed that the legend had to receive Savannah’s approval in order to play with Team USA at the Olympic Games.
