Meanwhile, Savannah James had a very personal question in store for the Lakers superstar. “What we doing about these vow renewals?” she asked, completely unaware of the camera in LeBron’s hands. “Is it happening or no?”

“We do whatever you want, boo-boo,” came LeBron’s swift reply. “Cause you’re the best, whatever you wanna do.”

Meanwhile, Savannah discovered that LeBron had been recording the conversation for the entire duration. As a result, she instantly felt embarrassed and asked her husband whether he had been recording the whole time. On the other hand, LeBron seemed pretty amused by Savannah’s reaction and started laughing.

Therefore, Savannah smacked the phone out of her husband’s hands, clearly annoyed at him. “He’s a great husband,” Shaq declared after watching the whole thing. “Whatever you love, baby.”

The 2000 MVP seemed clearly impressed by LeBron James’ answer in the brief encounter and the relationship dynamic between the couple.
