LeBron James became a father at 19, just as his NBA career began. His first child, Bronny, was born in 2004, and LeBron, who grew up without his own father, said his goal was to be a better father. He went on to have two more children, Bryce and Zhuri, with wife Savannah. LeBron has spoken about missing family events due to NBA travel. In July 2023, Bronny suffered cardiac arrest, putting basketball in perspective. LeBron said he would dedicate the 2023-24 season to his son. He credits Savannah with holding the family together and says his children give him support through the demands of his career.
