Unhinged—that’s how everyone felt after last night’s ultra mega-blockbuster trade. It was a shadow trade that even LeBron James couldn’t get a hint of. The superstar was literally having a family dinner at a New York restaurant when the trade pulled through. Without a doubt, it’s a tough break-up for Bron after building a great bond with Anthony Davis. While a lot of fans are yet to come out of the madness, King James seemed to have found a way to cope with it and that is, his love for wife, Savannah.

It wasn’t just Bron who had emotions running high. It’s just that has found a better way to come out of it. There’s no need to describe the bond he and AD shared over the last seven seasons. Following the devastating heartbreak, the superstar shared three emotional IG stories with his fans. Even though they weren’t directly linked, they determined the 40-year-old’s psyche.

Firstly, LeBron James shared the video of his son Bronny’s first bucket at MSG during the Lakers’ comprehensive win over the Knicks. Followed by a wholesome note to his buddy Brow that read, “Love you, my dog!! Go crazy over there! Woe 4L! See you soon,” with a picture of him and AD hugging.

Last but not least, the 4x NBA Champ showed the powerhouse behind his success, his wife, Savannah. He shared snaps of him leaving a peck on Mrs. James at the courtside along with a wholesome note.

The note read, “The thing about it is, is that we just grew even stronger and tighter together!! This infinity (in emoji) it can’t be f–ked with! Love you, my Queen! Ruler of the Kingdom.” Despite spending a lot of hours in the gym and court, LeBron James has always put his family first. That’s how he exactly overcame the hurdles faced on the court. Well, it was not supposed to be easy to bounce back after losing 6 NBA Finals. He made it look easy. But now the question arises. Is the road head going to be easy or is it going to be one that of growing pains?

What does LeBron James’ future in the Lakers look like?

Well, we aren’t predicting the future. But one thing is for sure. LeBron James showed the Lakers management that he is level-headed after the shocker of a trade. In retrospect, it’s a betrayal in a way. Bron and Anthony Davis had developed a bond over the years and the team moved into the all-new JJ Redick era only to win a ring with the duo. All of a sudden, Rob Pelinka, who reportedly had a tightly knit back-and-forth with the Mavs GM, pulled the plug.

Anyway, looking into the future, the Lakers look extremely lethal. Even though the team has lost some points on the defensive end, Luka Doncic‘s entry is undoubtedly a championship-worthy trade. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Lakers make a run to the Finals. On the other hand, the team has found a 25-year-old generational talent, and it means the future.

“If you just put the work on, don’t be an a–hole, be a good person and dedicate yourself to the craft, the game will always be kind to you,” These are Bron’s words from his latest podcast appearance with the Kelce brothers. So, let’s just trust his words for the moment and let things happen.
