LeBron James' wife Savannah James pens emotional message for son Bronny James' birthday: "Literally can't with 20"

LeBron James’ eldest son Bronny James turned 20 on Sunday and his mom Savannah James took to social media to wish him a happy birthday.

Taking to Instagram, the 38-year-old philanthropist-turned-entrepreneur, shared a sweet throwback photo in celebration of the milestone birthday, accompanied with an emotional message.

In the first picture, a baby Bronny is smiling while lying on a blanket. The second photo appears to be more recent, showing the rookie looking dapper in a stylish all-brown suit. Posting the snaps to her 2.4 million followers, she penned:

“Happy Birthday, Bronny! Literally can’t with 20 [crying emojis]. Love you beyond words and so proud of you!! Keep being YOU!!!”

Bronny is one of two sons that Savannah shares with Lakers superstar LeBron James. They also have a daughter named Zhuri, who will celebrate her 10th birthday later this month.

Bronny James has yet to comment on his mother's wishes. He is scheduled to play in the Lakers' preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. In his last game, he scored 2 points, provided 1 assist and grabbed 1 rebound in a 124-107 loss to the Timberwolves. He will be aiming for a much stronger performance in tonight's game.

Savannah James has a lot to be proud of this year. Not only is her husband entering his 22nd season in the NBA, but her eldest son, Bronny, will also be playing on the same team.

During an appearance on the Lakers' Spectrum SportsNet broadcast with his son, LeBron shared that he has a video of his wife, Savannah, playing as Bronny in NBA 2K25.

"She does not play video games, but she went in practice mode and played with her son," LeBron said.

After the quote went viral, LeBron shared a video on his Instagram story showing Savannah shooting hoops with Bronny.

LeBron wrote in one of the captions on the story: "only way she would pick the [controller] up."
