After first meeting during their high school days, LeBron James and Savannah James have been together for more than 20 years. They are the power couple of the NBA, each having achieved success in their own way, constantly having each other’s backs. LeBron often mentions Savannah as his pillar of support, who saw him through the highs and lows of his life.
