Despite what many predicted before Game 4, LeBron James’ 21 season is not over yet. Facing elimination after going down 0-3 against Denver, James delivered a thirty-point performance tonight to extend the Lakers’ season. Moreover, by dropping 14 points in the last twelve minutes, James proved why he still one of the best in the business. Following the Game 4 win and finally snapping the eleven-game losing streak against the Nuggets, celebrations began early for King James as his wife Savannah greeted him minutes after the game.

In a wholesome moment after the Lakers’ win, Savannah James stood at the end of the tunnel, ready to congratulate her husband for his heroic performance. And as soon as the two lovebirds met, they shared a kiss, after which LeBron went straight to the locker room for his postgame routine.

From LeBron’s high school days at St. Vincent-St. Mary to his current NBA season, one person has always stood by his side to support him, Savannah James. And LeBron has constantly made sure to credit Savannah for his continued success. In a viral Instagram post in 2020, James wrote about his wife, “The real reason why I’m able to do what I do both on the floor and off it at a very high level!”

Long before that, during an interview, LeBron appreciated his wife for being by his side way before he became THE LeBron James. “Savannah was down when I was at my high school, no cameras, no lights. And she was there with me. You wouldn’t be talking to me right now if it weren’t for her.” And it is great to see that years later, Savannah is still standing at the tunnel, waiting for her husband after a tiring game.

Can LeBron James create history by beating Denver?

151-0! The one-sided record for teams trying to come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs speaks for itself. Therefore, going by the numbers, the Lakers somehow coming out on top three more times to eliminate the Nuggets seems impossible. However, LeBron James is no stranger to beating the odds and doing what has never been done before. Who can forget when faced by a similar situation in 2016, LeBron did the unthinkable by coming back from a 3-1 deficit against a 73-win Warriors team to lift the NBA Championship?

With that in mind, there is still hope among LakerNation that King James will dethrone the defending Champions this year. Meanwhile, LeBron is focused on taking things one step at a time, knowing what’s at stake. With that mindset, during the postgame presser, LeBron said, “It’s a one game series for us… Monday’s game is the most important game of the season for us.”

But for the Lakers to create history, they will need to be as efficient and energetic as they were tonight. Losing double digit leads in the second half, getting outrebounded by the Nuggets, giving up several second-chance points were some of the weaknesses the Lakers overcame tonight. And they need to continue the same in Denver on Monday, and then for the rest of the series.
