LeBron James Has Three Non-Negotiable Rules with Wife Savannah

LeBron James has revealed three non-negotiable rules he follows with his wife Savannah as he opened up about his marriage.

The NBA icon and Savannah first met back in 2002 at high school.

They got married in 2013, and have three children together, including Bronny, who last season made history by playing alongside his father as the first father-son duo in the NBA.

Speaking on Savannah's Everybody's Crazy podcast, James admitted that relationships can be tough.

He said: "I know I don't want to be alone, that's for damn sure.

"If I got to fight, crawl, scratch, bite, whatever to keep mine, I got to keep it.

"I have to do what I have to do, I don't want to be alone. I'm an only child, single-parent household... next time I'm alone, I'll be underneath."

James also shared stories that he had heard from other basketball stars about the 'cutthroat, ruthless a** b*****' that are 'out here right now.'

The four-time NBA champion added: "I sit in the locker room and, s**t now, and there's a lot of women out here that's now flipped the script.

"And some homies are out here trying to be good, too, trying to figure it out.

"And now they are looking in the mirror saying: 'Damn what did I do wrong?'

"'Homies, it ain't you. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be."

James has previously spoken about the rules that he believes have helped him and Savannah stay together for more than three decades.

Speaking on 360 with Speedy, he said: "I think communication is number one, being honest is number two, number three is, like, you have to be okay with being uncomfortable in relationships sometimes."

James is currently preparing for his 23rd season in the NBA, something no other player has managed before.

But he will miss October's fixtures after he was diagnosed with sciatica, which will rule him out for between three and four weeks.

It is the latest injury setback for James, who also missed the start of the Lakers' training camp due to a nerve issue in his glute.

Over his career, James has won four NBA championships with three teams: the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and the LA Lakers.

He is the league's all-time leading scorer and is the only player in the NBA to pass the 50,000 point mark.

The Lakers begin their regular season on October 21, when they host the Golden State Warriors.
