LeBron James has embarked on his 21st NBA season, and those who have watched James through stints with the Cavaliers, Heat and Lakers know he displays a few tendencies on the court.
But no one picks up on a person’s behaviors better than close friends and loved ones. That applies to James’s family, who may have seen more of the star than anyone else–especially off the court.
There’s probably no better way of poking fun at someone, to show love and appreciation for a person, than imitating such habits. James’s wife and children have his act down pat, as they showed in a video posted to social media. Check it out:
It be your own family. 🤣

Older son Bronny James smoothly imitated his father’s favorite on-court celebratory dance, dubbed “The Silencer,” perfectly. Then, daughter Zhuri cleverly nailed LeBron’s iconic chalk toss with arms outstretched. Wife Savannah coolly imitated her husband’s light backpedal down the court. Younger son Bryce humorously evoked his father’s roaring yawn.
However, the best impression goes to Bronny for spoofing LeBron’s complaints about pain in his hips and stretching them out. That looks like age 38. And only family might get away with making fun of someone’s age.
LeBron himself weighed in on the impressions Friday afternoon, proving he doesn’t take himself too seriously.
“It Be Ya Own People!!!” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
