LeBron James is making even more headlines than usual since he announced the end of his Lakers era and a move to the Philadelphia 76ers. However, the spotlight in the king’s castle is on his baby girl as she starts a new chapter of her own: sixth grade!
On Sept. 1, the NBA star dedicated a post to his youngest child with wife Savannah James, Zhuri. No matter where he hangs his jersey, Bron made it clear that he’s always ready to step behind his daughter. “Ammo is fully loaded and I ain’t playing about my Princess,” he wrote.
The devoted Girl Dad included a series of clips riding next to Zhuri on her way to school and dancing in the car together.
“Have a wonderful school year mama face, have fun and continue to be YOU! It’s always ENOUGH! Love you,” he wrote.
Savannah also celebrated her mini me’s first day with an emotional post.
“The girl started 6th grade today… Am I okay? Not really,” she joked. “Did I cry about it? Yes! Am I so proud of her and excited to see her continue to grow into an amazing young woman? Absolutely! Go be great Baby!!”
Now their youngest is coming into her own. LeBron recently told PEOPLE he’s proud to not only set an example for his sons, but his daughter through the way he treats the women in his life. When asked the best lesson LeBron passed along to Zhuri, he said:
“The way I treat her mother. The love that I have inside the family, the accountability that I have inside the family, the way I think I treat her mom and her grandmothers, my mom and my mother-in-law and her siblings.”
At the Lakers’ annual girl dad night, he added, “Yeah, I love girl dads. It’s pretty cool and I’m happy to be one,” noting that Zhuri’s arrival “definitely softened me up a lot for sure.”

“And shout out to her Dad for driving almost 2 hours in traffic just to make sure he could see her in class on her first day. I live on the outskirts so it takes a minute to get out this way lol,” she wrote. “Plus I’m always about the path of least resistance so I told him not to stress once we knew it would take a while but he’s all about showing up and making sure his kids all know he’s there.”
The stunning artist and photographer warned everyone to “keep the comments cute” because no matter what we think about Nick, it’s all about the blended family moving forward together “for the sake of Onyx- because at the beginning, middle, and end of the day she’s the priority!!”
