LeBron James has had one of the most remarkable careers in basketball, achieving virtually everything a player could hope for. His recent achievement came in another historic gold medal win for Team USA as captain, where James was also named as the MVP at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

However, according to Marc J. Spears of Andscape, LeBron gives the utmost credit to his wife and kids for “motivating” him throughout his journey. He emphasized that his wife handles all the “business” aspects of their life, and he asserted that without his family, he wouldn’t be at the stage he’s at now in his playing career.

It means everything. It’s why I do it. I do it for my family, My wife takes care of the business, man. She’s the best. Without her, I wouldn’t even be in this position to be able to do what I do and love the game. I love it. So, to have my wife and my two boys and my daughter here and the rest of my family here, it was everything.
LeBron James told Marc J. Spears
