The James family has long been accustomed to public attention through LeBron‘s on-court exploits, but now attention turns to the two sons of the household – personal reflection from their mother, Savannah.
Bronny continues to try to ply his trade with the Los Angeles Lakers alongside his father, hoping for a more expanded role in the 2025/26 NBA season after a successful stint in the G League.
Whilst Bryce, who graduated from high school and is preparing to begin college at the University of Arizona and had both of his parents celebrating the milestone moment in his life as the teenager turns his eyes to the NCAA.
Yet their 38-year-old maternal parenting figure is starting to worry about her two boys the older they get, grappling with the slow but inevitable separation from her sons as they grow up and prepare to fly the nest.
The vulnerable moment came when she was responding to a listener question about navigating a relationship with a dependent mother-in-law, before she turned deeply personal, touching on her fears about her sons’ future romantic lives.
“I obviously did not raise my boys as a single parent,” Savannah said on the Everybody’s Crazy podcast. “But that’s one thing that I always wanted to make sure that I did not do with them is like, hold on so tight that I wouldn’t be able to let go.
“Your son leaves you. Your daughter is with you forever.”
Savannah not the only one preparing to say goodbye to Bryce
It was an admission filled with grace and honesty, one that speaks to a universal truth among mothers: raising boys often means preparing to let them go, emotionally and literally.
While such sayings can seem cliché coming from Savannah considering their prominence in the world, the quote is more than a passing remark. It reflects the psychological and emotional preparation she has undertaken.
Bronny and Bryce edge closer to adult independence and potentially serious romantic relationships and for a mother like Savannah, who has always been closely involved in her children’s lives, this shift is particularly poignant.
The emotional weight of letting go is immense but displaying admirable sensitivity to parenting, she also understands the balance required: to love them without clinging, to guide without restraining.
And it’s not just Savannah who will feel the change as at just 10 years old, Zhuri, the youngest of the family, is also preparing for life without her brothers at home – although Bronny is currently close to Los Angeles.
“Well, what am I going to do when Bryce leaves? It’s going to be boring here,” Savannah recalled Zhuri saying, opening up on the unspoken struggles of being the youngest sibling too.
This period marks a transition, not just for Bryce and Bronny as they chase their futures, but for the entire family adjusting to a new normal. As Savannah wisely put it, children don’t belong to their parents forever.
It seems that the true legacy of any parent rests in preparing children to walk their own paths, lovingly, but independently.

Kordisté obsadili v týmové soutěži na mistrovství Evropy osmé místo
Třetí tým z loňské pařížské olympiády, kde byl v sestavě místo Pavlíka loučící se Jiří Beran, měl v Janově jako čtvrtý nasazený volný los v prvním kole. Ve druhém vyřadil po přesvědčivé výhře 45:30 ruský výběr startující pod hlavičkou týmu neutrálních sportovců (AIN).Proti Němcům, kteří byli nasazeni jako číslo 11 a v osmifinále vyřadili turnajové šestky z Izraele, ale Češi od počátku tahali za kratší konec. Jurka ještě po úvodním duelu předal „štafetu“ ve vedení 4:3, ale od té doby měl navrch soupeř. Ze zbylých osmi soubojů ještě dva těsné dílčí úspěchy zaznamenal Rubeš, ale jen zmírnil ztrátu a rozjetí Němci už se nenechali zastavit.V bojích o konečné umístění utrpěli kordisté nejprve porážku 31:45 s favorizovanými Maďary, které ve čtvrtfinále překvapivě vyřadili Nizozemci.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer: These big-name hitters may be worth moving this summer
Having been actively involved in the trade market for more than two decades, I can confidently say that the hardest thing for a fantasy baseball manager is to sell high on a player who is having a tremendous season.[Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all]After all, the manager either drafted this player or added him via the waiver wire because they believed that the player could be successful. When they see their predictions coming to fruition, they feel validated and want to see the season through to the end. However, there are times when a player is outperforming even the optimistic predictions the manager had for him, and the right move is to trade the player away before he experiences regression.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis week’s article is solely comprised of hitters who are off to terrific starts […]

2025 NBA Draft: Will Spurs, 76ers trade down from top 3? It’s a rare move, but here’s why it could make sense
Trading down from a top-3 pick is a rare move in the NBA. You almost never see it. Why would you? Rookie-scale contracts are the best deals in basketball, and the higher a team picks, the better its odds historically of landing a franchise changer. Most GMs would rather get fired swinging for a future All-Star than risk sliding down the board and watching the guy they passed on torch them for the next decade.McHale and Parish for Joe Barry Carroll. Webber for Penny. Fultz for Tatum. Luka for Trae. These are the kinds of trades that have shaped eras.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSince 1980, only 10 teams with a top-3 pick have traded down and stayed within the lottery. That’s 10 out of 135 chances over 45 drafts. Here they are:1980: Celtics traded No. 1 to WarriorsWarriors picked Joe Barry CarrollCeltics moved down […]
