Much is said about LeBron James‘ sons, their athletic talents, and how they’re on track to follow in their legendary father’s footsteps by playing basketball. But the youngest member of the family, Zhuri, often flies under the radar.
That’s understandable, Zhuri is about to turn 11 and isn’t in the spotlight as much as the rest of the family. But every time she makes a public appearance, she steals the show. Whether it’s a creative handshake with her dad or a perfectly synchronized dance with Savannah James on TikTok, she knows how to grab attention. This time, though, it was her athleticism and sheer strength that had fans in awe as she not only kept up with her dad’s intense workout but even outperformed him.
Zhuri steals the spotlight
Zhuri currently plays volleyball at her school, and LeBron often shares his pride in her accomplishments on social media. But what many didn’t know was just how strong she is. During a high-intensity weightlifting session, she made it look effortless, flawlessly matching her dad’s movements rep for rep.
LeBron received plenty of criticism for skipping the NBA All-Star Game, and when this video started going viral, the conversation heated up even more. But one thing became crystal clear-for the King, nothing comes before his family, especially when it comes to his daughter, who is without a doubt the apple of his eye.
For LeBron, health and family always comes first
LeBron made the calculated decision to sit out All-Star weekend to rest a lingering foot issue and gear up for the second half of the Lakers’ season. With Luka Doni now in the mix, the team needs to be at full strength to keep their momentum going.
And during that time, he chose to focus on Zhuri-the youngest of the James clan-who put her incredible strength, flexibility, and athletic skills on full display. One thing’s for sure: the James genes are as powerful as ever.
