LeBron James brought his wife Savannah James and their daughter Zhuri to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Wednesday. The LA Lakers superstar traded his usual purple and gold uniform for the white and black of Team USA for an exhibition game against Canada.
A packed arena watched the star-studded meeting between the two heavyweights who will head to Paris to battle for gold. The last time these two teams met was at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, where the Canadians won and took the bronze.
After a slow start, the LeBron James-led team secured an 86–72 victory. After the match, Savannah James and Zhuri celebrated the win to the tune of Kendrick Lamar’s ultra-popular Drake dissingle “Not Like Us.”

The mother and daughter waited for “King James” to meet them on the field as other fans walked the floor. It didn’t take long for the basketball star to arrive and show appreciation for his wife and ‘Princess’. However, the four-time NBA champion didn’t join his family on the music.
LeBron James and Savannah James are fans of Kendrick Lamar
In May, the power couple was spotted having a great time at a party. The music that got the Jameses going was Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”
About a month later, James attended the rapper’s Juneteenth show.
During one of the warm-ups for the LA Lakers, a clip of James rapping on Lamar’s “Like That” went viral.
The NBA points leader was also referenced in Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams.”
“Ayy, LeBron, keep the family away, hey, Curry, keep the family away. For all those who embody love for their children: keep the family at a distance.”
