In his 22nd year in the NBA, LeBron James is performing at the highest level. He sometimes gives the impression that he hasn’t aged past 30. All thanks to his health regimen and diet, that has kept him going for so long. At the same time, Bron’s wife, Savannah James, and the rest of the family also sometimes come under the strict rules. But does fitness always mean he’s confident? Does the Chosen One never feel the pressure or doubt himself?
Eighteenth Playoffs appearance later, LeBron James has a simple message: “Until you overcome the pressure moment, you have no idea you can do it. It’s almost kinda terrifying,” he told Steve Nash on Mind The Game. However, going into those pressure moments, self-doubt becomes a very obvious scenario. But not for the Akron Hammer, right? “You get into those pressure moments, and it’s like, I don’t know if I can overcome this, or I don’t know if this is too big for me, or whatever the case may be.”
Well, right before the second Game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, this isn’t something that the Lakers Nation would’ve loved to know. At the end of the day, Savannah James’s dearest husband is also a human, even though he possesses superpowers on the court. Bron continued: “The human body or the human mind tricks you, right? And then you’re able to do that, and then you’re able to stack that and do it again, and do it again, and do it again. And it doesn’t always result in a win, loss, or draw. It’s just a moment of succeeding—something that you didn’t believe at times or didn’t think you could overcome.”

Indeed, the mind and body can surprise you by pushing through challenges you once thought impossible. Success isn’t always about winning—it’s about overcoming doubts and proving yourself capable.
LeBron James’s love for sleep upsets Savannah James
In one of the episodes of Mind The Game with Steve Nash, the 40-year-old Los Angeles Lakers superstar spoke about his boundless love for sleep. There are moments when he feels he’s aging, so whenever he gets an opportunity, the bed is his favorite destination. However, more often than not, this brings about Savannah James’s frustration.
LeBron James knows the drill. “It’s usually the morning after the game. It’s that first step out of bed. We’ll let you know how old your a– is, and those are the moments.” Ouch. It hits hardest on the road. “What the hell are you still doing out here? What the f— are you, right?” But when you think rest will be easy at home, think again. Sleep after a game? That’s the real challenge. Especially when you just want to crash early.

This is where Savannah James gets mad. Bron calls her the “best ever,” even when she grills him for his odd habit of going to bed at 9. Grandpa much? “She gets mad at me when it’s time for me to go to bed. That’s how much I love, sleep, and take care of my body. But about nine o’clock at night. I’m like, ‘what time, what time you going to bed?’’ She’s like, ‘You’re going to sleep?’ Yeah, like, I am.”
LeBron James may rule the court, but off it, his true sacrifice is sleep. Even as he chases that elusive fifth ring, he’s willing to give up his precious rest for the game. Savannah James, though, isn’t too thrilled about his “Grandpa Bron” routine. After all, no one said being a legend meant you couldn’t be a sleepyhead too.
