James is known to be a family man, also pointed out by Ann Iverson. Back in 2023, the former Sixers star gave a profanity-led speech in front of an unknown crowd. The NBA legend talked about the LA player’s off-court persona and strong support system behind the scenes. Almost echoing his mother, Iverson spoke highly of the James family.

He the mother***ker that people teach like, ‘This is how you supposed to be off the court.’ F**k that on the court sh*t. That mother***ker excellent, dawg! He’s a excellent mother***ker and he got an excellent family and a excellent cast behind him.

Allen Iverson said

James’ longevity and relevance cannot be obtained without help from his family. Despite the heavy criticism the 21-time All-Star has led numerous records in the NBA. After entering his 40s, the Lakers forward is averaging one of the best numbers of his career with 23.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game.
