WATCH: LeBron James hugs Sabrina Ionescu and Liberty players after win over 2-time Champion Aces
LeBron James makes it a point to support other superstars in their games.
LeBron James pulls up to watch a WNBA game with his wife
LeBron James has a reputation for supporting other sports stars. He pulls up for games to watch and support those superstars during the off-season. With the Los Angeles Lakers season over early, the 4-time champion pulled up alongside his wife, Savannah James, to watch the battle of last year’s WNBA Finalists. The game pitted New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu against Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson.
After winning 5 of their first seven games, the Las Vegas Aces lost 3 of their last 4. That form would not be good enough when going up against the New York Liberty, who are on a 7-game winning streak. Therefore, going into tonight’s matchup, James knew the Aces would give it their all to stop the slide against their Finals opponents. That is why he ended up courtside to watch a must-watch game.
James then hugged Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart, and Jonquel Jones after winning the battle of championship favorites. In the game, Sabrina Ionescu and her teammates continued to set the tone for the Liberty by dominating the interior. That itself proved to be the Aces’ Achilles heel, as they could not stop Jones and Stewart from dominating the paint.
The Las Vegas Aces have now lost the same number of games as they did last year on their way to the second of their back-to-back championships. It seems the head coach, Becky Hammon, and her lead players. A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum must dig deep to pull them out of this rut. Meanwhile, LeBron James and his wife captured social media attention during the game.
LeBron James has a heartfelt courtside moment with wife Savannah
Before the game, the camera crew turned to the courtside seats to introduce LeBron James and other celebrities present. After introducing the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, the camera then panned to his wife, Savannah James, sitting beside him.
As the crowd started cheering, Mrs. James, her superstar husband, made the crown gesture. That sent the crowd cheering even louder. A visibly embarrassed Savannah James seems to ask her husband to stop hyping her up. However, it was too late as the crowd kept up the cheers. It was a heartwarming moment between the NBA’s power couple.
The couple had Rich Paul, Damian Lillard, Bam Adebayo, and John Wall as company as they watched the WNBA title favorites go head-to-head. The Olympics training camp is set to start soon in Las Vegas. Suggesting that LeBron James might come to take in a few more WNBA games.
