LeBron’s daughter was in the crowd when he became the first NBA player to reach 40,000 career points.
Following the game in 2024, the Lakers star spoke about hitting the record-breaking milestone and looking at his wife, mom and daughter, who was clapping and “pumping her arms up in the air.”
“Blew her a kiss, she blew one back to me,” he said of Zhuri. “So, it’s super cool, for sure. She’s the best. Definitely a girl dad and happy she’s a part of the family. She runs everything. So, what Z says goes in our household for sure.”
She’s athletic like her dad
LeBron isn’t the only sporty member of the James family — the proud dad has posted videos of his little girl playing volleyball. In 2023, the NBA champion could be heard cheering on Zhuri, shouting in one video: “Let’s go munchkin!”
“Another One in the making! Uh-Oh 😱!!” LeBron captioned the carousel of videos. “Let’s Gooooooo Munchin!! @allthingszhuri got NEXT!! 🏐 VIBES!! #JamesGang👑 #ZTheWarriorPrincess👸🏾.”
