Yesterday, LeBron James was awarded his 4th NBA MVP award, becoming one of four players ever to have snatched the title at least four times. Cheering him on at the ceremony were his Miami Heat teammates along with his mom Gloria, his fiancee Savannah, and their two sons LeBron Jr. and Bryce.
Before accepting the award, Savannah appeared in a tribute video, that included his teammates and revealed she calls her King James “Honey Bunny.” LeBron, meanwhile, started his speech off with some sweet words about his mom and how she did such a good job raising him that he had no idea that they were a struggling family from the inner city. He then turned his attention to Savannah and thanked her for the sacrifices that she has made before thanking her parents for holding the kids down while Savannah was taking care of wedding plans.
Peep some excerpts, plus video below:
To Savannah
To my soon wife-to-be, I want to thank you for the sacrifices that you make every single day. Me being a professional athlete, not being home all the time that you would want. Every single day as you would want. I want to thank you so much for what you do, not only for me [and] the support, but also for our boys.
To His In-Laws
I don’t think the next two people even know I’m gonna thank them, but I am. That’s my future father-in-law and my future mother-in-law for the sacrifices that they make every single day with my two kids. When I’m not home and we’re on the road traveling and playing games or Savannah is all over the world having wedding meetings about a table or a chandelier going up, you guys wake up every single morning and take LeBron and Bryce to school every single day. Pick them up every single day. Take them to basketball practice, help them with their homework…you guys are a blessing to me more than you guys know. I appreciate you two so much. You guys are awesome.
