US Vogue has visited basketball star LeBron James and his wife Savannah James at home. In the video "Inside LeBron and Savannah James's Home, Full of Wonderful Objects", the couple lead viewers through their house in Los Angeles, according to Complex, and present objects that matter to them. The most valuable piece, according to Baller Alert, is the painting "Minor Success" by Jean-Michel Basquiat. LeBron James describes it as one of the first works in which the artist drew crowns.
Also on view is a white Mercedes-Maybach "LeBron James Edition". According to Baller Alert, only two exist: the family keeps one, while the other is being auctioned for the LeBron James Family Foundation. Savannah James shows a skeletonised Cartier Crash she gave her husband for their wedding anniversary in September – the search took around six months. There is also a bracelet carrying the heartbeats of their three children, a Louis Vuitton denim jacket and slides from the Ugg and Palace collaboration.
Everyday life features too: James shows his hyperbaric chamber, which his wife finds "too small", Complex reports. He looks back on the first of his four NBA titles, won with Miami in 2012, calling it "definitely gratifying". Among the family's oldest pieces of furniture is a sofa used for dinners, films and big decisions. The kitchen has a row of brownies, doughnuts and cookies; according to Savannah James, her husband eats chocolate-chip cookies and chocolate cake every day.
