Savannah James gives her daughter Zhuri some tough love: “Baby, it’s going to be a no this time”

Savannah James is very clear about one thing: children shouldn’t always have what they want. It’s no coincidence that LeBron James’ wife has one of her sons in the NBA and the other on the cusp of entering the league. Savannah knows when to say no, especially when it comes to her children’s safety.

The James family has become one of the most notable families in American sports. It’s not just LeBron as an NBA and Lakers icon; there’s also Bronny forging his own path in professional basketball and Bryce shining with the Arizona Wildcats.

Then there’s Zhuri, the youngest in the family, who is starting to excel in youth volleyball. However, that hobby recently caused some tension with her mother, all because of one of the country’s most controversial airlines.

Savannah vs. Spirit

In a recent episode of their podcast, Everybody’s Crazy, Savannah and her co-host, April McDaniels, openly discussed a viewer’s question about the budget airline Spirit. “I definitely don’t love Spirit at all,” McDaniels admitted, prompting a revealing story from James.

After agreeing with April with an eloquent, “Yeah,” Vannah proceeded to reveal, “My baby [Zhuri] just asked me. She’s going to a volleyball tournament. The team is flying Spirit. She’s like, ‘Mom, I just want to fly my team.’ I said, ‘Baby, I really understand that, but it’s going to be a no.”

Savannah’s children’s comfort comes first

Like many low-cost airlines, Spirit has earned a bad reputation for overbooked flights, cramped seating, and a lack of amenities, among other inconveniences. Spirit gained significant market share by cutting costs to the limit to offer reduced fares, but that came at a cost.

Spirit filed for bankruptcy a few months ago and is currently liquidating assets like souvenirs to raise cash. As Savannah and April demonstrated, a customer can tolerate extreme discomfort once, but they rarely make the same mistake again, even if it’s to please their children.

<!--> [--> Carmen Vitali NFL Reporter <!--> --> The Detroit Lions aren’t taking the step back most think they are. Sure, they’ve seen two coordinators and multiple assistants move on and no one is fully immune from that kind of attrition.But the Lions have something under head coach Dan Campbell that can’t and won’t leave the building as long as he’s at the helm: they have belief.They also have a lot more motivation now that they have doubters again.Last year’s early exit from the postseason was already enough to keep the sour taste in the mouths of players and coaches alike. It was enough to chip their shoulders and inspire the defiant spirit that has become so synonymous with this team.Now that they have built-in rivals that were once so familiar, now that the narrative around the league is one of […]

2025 NFL Preview: San Francisco 49ers

Head Coach: Kyle Shanahan (ninth season) PFF projected win total: 10.0 2024 Record: 6-11 (fourth in NFC West) Biggest Strength: Offensive Star Power When healthy — a big caveat of late — the 49ers have as much offensive firepower as any NFL team. Brock Purdy is an above-average starting quarterback. Christian McCaffrey was the best running back in the NFL in 2023. Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall comprise a solid group of young wide receivers. George Kittle is the best tight end in the NFL, and the offensive line is a solid unit headlined by Trent Williams and Dominick Puni. If McCaffrey, Aiyuk and Williams, in particular, are healthy, the 49ers still have a dangerous offensive unit. Biggest Weakness: Defensive Line Beyond Nick Bosa, San Francisco lacks proven defensive line depth. The front office drafted three such players […]
