LeBron James is many things. He is one of the best NBA players ever to wear a uniform, an Olympian eyeing his third gold medal this month at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, and a global icon.
He is also a dad.
And while LeBron’s list of accomplishments on the court is simply too long to run through here, any dad will tell you that no matter how impressive they are professionally, there is nothing they are better at than embarrassing their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
Take this exhibit from the Paris Summer Games.
LeBron was in attendance for a beach volleyball match featuring the American duo of Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss, alongside his wife Savannah and his daughter Zhuri. The duo of Nuss and Kloth won their match to complete pool play undefeated, overcoming a 75-minute weather delay and a loss in the first set to China’s Xinyi Xia and Chen Xue. But when they won the crowd — LeBron included — celebrated along with the dynamic duo.
Dads, man. Gotta love ’em.
Dads, as we all know, can be really embarrassing, especially sometimes when you’re out in public with them. And that’s just not for us normal people, but also for celebrity dads who have had incredible careers while performing in front of millions of people and earning millions (and millions) dollars for doing so.
LeBron James’s daughter, Zhuri, knows what we’re talking about as she wasn’t impressed with her famous dad’s dance moves that he showed off while watching a beach volleyball match Thursday night at the Paris Olympics. LeBron, who has helped lead the men’s basketball team to a 2-0 record thus far in the Games, just wanted to have a little fun while sipping on some wine and taking in the electric event.
