LeBron James ditches All-Star, enjoys a father-daughter workout with Zhuri


LeBron James celebrates with his daughter Zhuri after becoming the NBA's all-time leading scorer in 2023LAPRESSE

As the NBA emerges from the All-Star break, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is taking the opportunity to recharge and focus on the second half of the season.

After sitting out the All-Star Game due to a foot issue, James has returned to the weight room, but this time, he's got a special training partner-his daughter, Zhuri.

Putting in the work! Zhuri James trains with his dad LeBron James as she strives for greatness

The 38-year-old NBA legend shared glimpses of his workout session on social media, showing himself getting in some sweat while blasting tracks from Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d city.

Despite the drama surrounding his public support for Lamar amid ongoing beef with rapper Drake, James seemed to focus on bonding with his youngest child, Zhuri, during their at-home training session.

Zhuri, who is only 10 years old, joined her father in exercises and even had some fun with him, playfully tossing around baseball equipment.

It's clear that LeBron is not only a committed athlete but a proud father, cherishing these moments with his daughter.

This isn't the first time LeBron has shared his pride for Zhuri.

In late 2024 he posted pictures of her in a volleyball uniform, sporting the same number 6 jersey that her father wore during his Miami Heat and USA Basketball days.

As the youngest James child to show an interest in sports, Zhuri is carving out her own path, following in the footsteps of her older brothers, Bryce and Bronny.

LeBron has always spoken highly of his daughter.

In a 2021 interview, he shared, "My daughter is the greatest thing in my life, along with my boys. So, whenever she smiles, it don't matter what I'm doing, it makes me happy."

It's clear that family is a key priority for the superstar, even amid the pressures of the NBA season.

While some NBA fans might be disappointed that LeBron skipped out on the All-Star festivities, his focus on getting ready for the playoffs with the Lakers is what matters most.

The team is set to resume their season on February 19 against the Charlotte Hornets.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 .

The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show.
