LeBron James Shares Moments From FaceTime with His Wife and 3 Kids and Says He Dearly Misses Them
LeBron James is quarantining with his team and missing his family as he shares a sweet picture showing them all on FaceTime.
The NBA season has restarted which means that all the players have been quarantining in what is called the "bubble" to make sure that no one spreads the coronavirus.
One of those is LeBron James who has been living at the Walt Disney Resort in Orlando, Florida, with the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Like his teammates, the basketball legend is missing his wife Savannah and their three children Lebron Jr., Bryce, and Zhuri.
While speaking to USA Today, James talked about his family, admitting that being apart from them had been difficult. He said:
"I miss the hell out of my family. My wife, my kids, my mother. And so on and so on. So, it's a huge challenge."
To bridge the distance between them, the James family has had FaceTime sessions to help them feel like they're still together.
The basketball player shared a picture from one of these sessions, writing that he missed his squad and adding that he loved them more each day.
It was the longest that he had gone without seeing his mother Gloria.
James has also spoken about what he found hard about social distancing, mainly as he was unable to see his mother, Gloria in person.
The star revealed that it was the longest that he had gone without seeing her, calling it extreme for him.
Earlier this year in June, James' son, Bryce became a teenager and the proud father celebrated by sharing a series of throwback photos.
As with most parents, his child turning 13 years old is a significant milestone and the star could not believe how fast the time had gone. He wrote:
"You're one of a kind young man and I'm proud to watch you continue to grow every day and I'm also proud to be your dad!! Always know YOU is good enough and more my son."

The star is a family man, having met his wife in high school when the pair attended rival schools. After meeting at a basketball game where Savannah was cheerleading, they hit it off.
Today James has said that he would not be where he is without his wife. The couple was married in 2013 at a ceremony held in front of 200 of their friends and family.
