“I apologised to my wife, Savannah James”: LeBron James on how chasing Michael Jordan affected his marriage

LeBron James has been pursuing Michael Jordan for his entire career, and that pursuit even made its way to his marriage to Savannah James.

When LeBron was discovered in high school, people felt like he was destined for something special. Saint Vincent-Saint Mary became a household name thanks to LeBron. The games were televised and all eyes were on the ‘kid from Akron’.

LeBron was quickly nicknamed the ‘Chosen One’ because people believed he had the ability to outdo Michael Jordan. He gave them the reason.

LeBron was drafted first overall by his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh out of high school, above college players because everyone knew he would be great right away.

LeBron has shattered all expectations. He has won 4 championships, been to 10 of them, is closing in on the all-time scoring lead and has set a number of other records. Sure, he may not have beaten Michael Jordan yet, but he’s come closer than anyone.

LeBron had to apologize to Savannah James in his search for Michael Jordan

LeBron is one of the most competitive players in the league. Even at 37, he is pushing his body to the limit in hopes of seeking more titles.

Last year, he approached his career numbers, nearly leading the league in scoring.

He surely would have been an MVP candidate if the Lakers were even half competitive, but they quickly fell out of playoff contention.

LeBron is hoping that Los Angeles will be competitive again as the door to his career is slowly drawing to a close. He needs two more titles to catch Michael Jordan and the chase has been so relentless that he had to apologize to his wife once.

“I’m addicted to the process,” LeBron said. “I am addicted to the process. It’s so much fun. I told my wife the other day, I apologized to her. She was like ‘What are you apologizing for?’”

“I said ‘Because the journey I’m on to want to be the best at playing this game or to the point where no one forgets what I achieved, I’ve sometimes lost the fact of how important you are to all of this… I want you to understand that Throughout this journey, while playing this game, there will be times when I will lose the fact of how important you and my three children are: my babies are.
