LeBron James‘ family has gone vial after a clip of the NBA star’s wife and 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren trolling him with impersonations of his speech and mannerisms surfaced on social media. In the video, each member of the James clan takes their turn mimicking the four-time NBA champion, reenacting everything from his on-court celebrations to his penchant to yawn loudly while stretching.
The video begins with Bronny James, LeBron’s eldest son, pretending to be his father, with his younger siblings Bryce and Zhuri also getting in on the fun with their own impersonations of the Los Angeles Laker. Savannah James, LeBron’s wife, begins to jog in a similar manner to her husband, eliciting laughs from the couple’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, with Zhuri pretending to do James’ signature pre-game powder toss prior to the ending of the clip.

The James family’s viral clip comes days after they starred alongside professional soccer star Erling Haaland and his father in a Beats by Dre commercial earlier this week. On Monday (Oct. 23), LeBron posted the commercial on social media, which captures him as he prepares for his 21st season in the NBA.

The commercial is centered around voicemails by Savannah James and Haaland’s father, Alf-Inge Haaland, in which they encourage their respective superstar family members to keep striving towards achievement and to “do it again.”
The ad hints at James’ desire to play with not only his eldest son, Bronny, in the NBA, but also his youngest son, Bryce, as well. “Tell them you’re not done until you play with your son. And then do that again,” Savannah said at one point in the commercial as both her sons’ faces appear on camera.

While James has been open about his goal to share an NBA court with Bronny for years, it appears he’s confirming speculation that he could possibly remain in the league until at least the 2026-27 NBA season, as Bryce will then be eligible to enter the 2026 NBA Draft.
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers opened the regular season earlier this week with a 119-107 loss to the reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets on Tuesday (Oct. 24). On Thursday (Oct. 26), the Lakers bounced back with a 100-95 victory against the Phoenix Suns, bringing their record to 1-1 to begin the season.
