“OMFG! Why why why?” LeBron James and Savannah mourn closing of first date steakhouse after 30 years

Savannah James, wife of NBA and Los Angeles Lakers superstar, LeBron James, had an emotional moment recently when she shared an emotional story on her Instagram to her 2. 4 million followers. A story which was reposted by her husband, the King himself.

The Instagram story was about a steakhouse that announced it was closing down its operations in the city of Akron, Ohio after 30 years of business.

The Steakhouse holds an emotional connection to the power couple’s love story as it was where they first had their first of many dates as high school students.

Noooooo @kingjames!!!! Our first date memories.

Mrs Savannah James in an emotional state captioned the photo:

Her husband later reposted the post.

OMFG!!!!!! Why why why.

They first met when Savannah was 16 years old and as a high school sophomore at Buchtel High School. She once narrated a story of how he first invited her to one of his basketball games, which led to a hangout with friends at the local Applebees.

What followed next was their first date at the Outback Steakhouse. They then got married in 2013 and are blessed with three children: Bronny, Bryce Maximus, and Zhuri Nova.

LeBron James has less than 10 points from 40k career points

LeBron James against the Washington Warriors scored 31 points in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 134-131 overtime win. With that, he is nine points away from 40,000 career points scored. A mark he’s most definitely going to pass when the Lakers host Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.

When asked what it would feel like to pass the important 40,000 mark milestone, James said postgame,

No one has ever done it. And for me to be in this position at this point and time in my career, I think it’s pretty cool. Does it sit at the top of the things I’ve done in my career? No. But does it mean something? Of course. Absolutely. Why wouldn’t it?

LeBron James is the NBA’s leading scorer with 39,991 points and at 39 he has been able to manage his physical fitness, which has made him is a leading light in the NBA.
