Aside from his 11th place finish in the West, these past few months have been kind to LeBron James.

He has vacationed in the Maldives, celebrated the premiere of the new Netflix movie ‘Hustle’ (which he co-produced), and officially joined Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant as the only NBA athletes to reach a net worth of at least $1 billion.

In his thankful mood, he made sure to give a special shout out to his wife, Savannah, on Instagram:

Quick letter to my Queen, Simply just letting you know that I appreciate you more than this world has to offer!! Been my 🪨 holding this shit down from the very first jump ball! With all the BS that comes into our lives throughout the years and on the daily you’ve never waved, fluttered or allow yourself to simply not be strong for me, us but more importantly YOU!! Where would I be today w/o you I think to myself quite often. The answer usually comes back to “not even close to where you would have wanted to be in life”! This is my appreciation post to you my Queen 👸🏾 because I’m simply letting you and the world know I ain’t shit without you! All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend aka best friend aka wife! Love, King

James met Savannah as a teenager during a High School football game in Akron, Ohio. They tied the knot back in 2013 and have been happily married ever since.

Despite his fame and fortunes, LeBron has never lost sight of or appreciation for those who are closest to him. Whether it’s his mother, wife, or 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, James is always showing his love for family. Maybe it’s because he knows that, without them, none of it would have been possible.
