LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of his generation and, arguably, of all time.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar still manages to be family oriented with his wife and three kids.
LeBron James is one of the best basketball players of all time.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar — who just last season broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time NBA scoring record — has won four NBA titles, earned four league MVP awards, and racked up 19 All-Star nods in his 20 spectacular seasons in the NBA. He's also helped Team USA to two Olympic championships as well as a bronze medal.
But through all of the outstanding feats in his career on the court, James has always prioritized his family. He married his high school sweetheart, Savannah, and they've had three children: LeBron "Bronny" Jr., Bryce Maximus, and Zhuri Nova.
Here's everything you need to know about the first family of basketball:
