‘Let’s Go Baby Z’: LeBron James Shares Sweet Photos of His 10-Year-Old Daughter Zhuri in Volleyball Uniform

On December 21, NBA superstar LeBron James, 39, spotlighted his beautiful little girl Zhuri James, 10, in a carousel of photos showing her suited up and ready for the volleyball season. The snaps sparked a wave of compliments from fans, who marveled at her height and the resemblance she shares with her mom (LeBron’s wife) Savannah James.

The 10-year-old smiled in her team’s navy blue jersey, which featured the word “City” embroidered in white script over the chest and the number “6” emblazoned on the front.

She paired the jersey with black leggings, Nike knee pads, and sleek purple sneakers, embodying a combination of youthful energy and athletic determination.

Her hair was styled in neat braids that were tied away from her face, adding to her poised and polished look. In one image, Zhuri stood tall and confident, clutching a volleyball between her arm and shoulder as she gazed directly at the camera.

Her composed expression suggested both focus and readiness for the challenges of the season ahead. Another image showcased a playful side of her personality — she pointed cheerfully at the camera while balancing the ball on her hip.

Among the photos of Zhuri was a group picture showing the young volleyball player alongside her teammates and their coach on a volleyball court.

The girls, clad in their matching navy uniforms, exuded team spirit and camaraderie. Zhuri, standing in the front row, was unmistakable with her radiant smile and confident posture.

Zhuri’s doting dad’s caption captured the essence of a proud father cheering on his daughter. “🥰🥰😍😍🤎🤎🤎 YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! @allthingszhuri LET’S GO BABY Z!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Best of luck this season and GO CRAZY!! 🏐👋🏾. #JamesGang👑,” exclaimed LeBron.

The fan response to LeBron’s post was overwhelmingly positive, with many followers flocking to the comment section to compliment Zhuri and point out her undeniable resemblance to her mom, Savannah James.

“Aww, looks just like her beautiful Momma! 💕 Go Z! 🏐,” gushed a fan, while another chimed in with, “As beautiful as her mommy.❤️.”

A third admirer remarked, “Looking just like her Mom!!” “Took her mama whole face 😍😍😍,” reiterated someone else, echoing the sentiment shared by many others.

On the flip side, some fans saw a blend of both Zhuri’s parents’ features, with one writing, “I see Momma and Daddy Face now [sic]👸🏽🤴🏽🥰. Go Zhuri👏🏽👏🏽!!” A fellow admirer added, “Looks just like Mom and Dad❤️❤️.”

Meanwhile, a short and sweet comment read, “Little Savannah!” Zhuri’s impressive height also caught fans’ attention. “You can tell she’s going to be tall [sic] her legs are long! 😲👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Good luck!” asserted one follower.

Another marveled, “When did she grow so tall? Sheesh…. The lil ones don’t stay small. 🏐,” capturing the bittersweet realization of how fast children grow. Wrapping up the enthusiastic commentary, one fan cheered, “She’s going to be so tall! Good job Z lets [sic] Go!!!”

LeBron’s recent post about Zhuri’s volleyball pursuits isn’t the first time the NBA legend has proudly showcased his daughter’s athletic journey.

On October 15, 2023, the basketball star shared a video that captured electrifying moments from some of Zhuri’s games, highlighting her budding talent and competitive spirit.

One video shows Zhuri confidently bouncing the volleyball on the polished wooden court, her focus evident as she prepares for her next move.

With a swift motion, she flings the ball into the air and delivers a powerful strike, sending it soaring over the white net.

The opposing team scrambles to return the ball, but in a humorous twist, one player accidentally directs it towards the umpire instead. As the ball hits the ground, the crowd erupts in cheers.

Zhuri’s teammates then rush over to celebrate her impressive play, clapping and giving her enthusiastic high-fives. From the bleachers, LeBron’s voice can be heard cheering her on with the loving encouragement of a proud father, praising, “Do your thang!”

LeBron accompanied the video with a caption brimming with pride and admiration for his daughter’s growing skills. “Another One in the making! Uh-Oh 😱!! Let’s Gooooooo Munchin!! @allthingszhuri got NEXT!! 🏐 VIBES!! #JamesGang👑 #ZTheWarriorPrincess👸🏾,” he penned. The father’s deep love for his daughter has been a recurring theme in his social media posts.

In one particularly touching moment, LeBron shared a photo of himself holding Zhuri in his arms, radiating the warmth and protection of a devoted father. In the image, Zhuri, who wore ripped jeans, stylish sneakers, and a cozy plaid jacket, clutches an ice cream cone.

Meanwhile, LeBron, dressed in his signature purple Lakers tracksuit, gently embraces Zhuri, his head resting against hers as the two share a tender moment amid the buzz of a basketball arena.

Alongside the photo, LeBron penned an emotional caption that underscored his role as a fiercely protective girl dad. He wrote, “HEAVY ON MY HEART & MIND THIS AM MY PRINCESS 👸🏾!! PROMISE TO PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE AND MORE!! WE DONT [sic] NEED THEIR HELP! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎.”

LeBron has never shied away from expressing his pride in being a girl dad, which is a role he cherishes deeply. In a heartwarming video shared by the Lakers on March 2, which featured players reflecting on what it means to be a father to daughters, LeBron shared his thoughts.

“Can I define ‘Girl Dad?’ Wow!” he began, his tone a mix of wonder and joy. “Obviously, I’m one of them, and wouldn’t trade it for anything,” he added.

He went on to reflect on Zhuri’s growth, saying, “To be able to see my daughter continue to mature and continue to get bigger and bigger, and loving, and loving, and loving, and loving every single day it’s just super duper cool. Just to see her progression in her life is just amazing.”

LeBron’s awe and admiration for Zhuri were evident in every word, and the genuine affection in his voice underscored the close relationship they share.

The NBA also paid tribute to this special relationship via a post that celebrated Zhuri’s presence at one of her dad’s games. A photo showed Zhuri, dressed in a chic white quilted sweater and a matching purse with gold accents, sitting in the stands with her hair braided and styled neatly.

Her animated expressions — clapping and cheering with enthusiasm — stole the spotlight. Secondary to the image, the NBA shared a video of LeBron reflecting on Zhuri’s presence at this game where his career surpassed 40,000 points.

“I mean it’s definitely special. When I looked up in the stands and seen [sic] her sitting up there and, you know, when the 40,000 point mark hit, definitely looked up there at my wife, and looked at my daughter and my mom, and my daughter was just clapping and you know, like pumping her arms up in the air, so that was a super cool moment,” he divulged, his smile growing wider with each word.

LeBron also fondly recalled his and Zhuri’s sweet exchange during the game, saying, “Blew her a kiss, she blew one back to me, so, that’s super cool for sure. She’s the best. Definitely a ‘girl dad’ and uh, you know, happy she’s a part of the family. She runs everything so uh, what Z says goes in our household for sure.”

LeBron’s genuine happiness as he reflected on these moments was unmistakable. His soft smiles and occasional chuckles while recounting the experience spoke volumes about the joy Zhuri brings to his life. It’s clear that being a father to his “princess” is a role LeBron James treasures deeply.
