WHO IS GLORIA JAMES?

Gloria Marie James, a native of Akron, Ohio, is the mother of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. She welcomed the basketball legend when she was just sixteen and was forced to raise him on her own.

At 24, the single mom, who found it hard to make ends meet, sent off her 9-year-old son to live with his football coach, Frank Walter, and his family. Years later, the mother-son duo reunited and have sustained a beautiful relationship ever since.

LEBRON JAMES ON "SPACE JAM"

Since its debut, "Space Jam: A New Legacy" has become a box office success, even beating out Marvel's "Black Widow." The comedy was a sequel to Michael Jordans' 1996 film, "Space Jam."

It follows LeBron and his fictional young son Dom as they make a last stand against digital villain AI (Played by Don Cheadle) on the courts. The outcome would determine whether or not the father-son pair would make it out of the fictionalized digital space where AI had them trapped.

Aside from LeBron, who played himself, the movie also featured a cameo from another basketball legend Michael Jordan.

Despite its success in the box office, the franchise has faced criticism since its release, with many "haters," calling out the NBA champion for his role. LeBron had an interesting response to haters.

The star shared an article about the comedy's box office domination over "Black Widow," accompanying it with a shade-like tweet. With just two words, "hi haters," and a string of laughing emojis, the athlete clapped back at critics, shutting them down for good.

MEET LEBRON'S KIDS

Contrary to his fictional son, Dom, LeBron is a father of three in real life, including two sons and a daughter. He shares his kids with his high school sweetheart Savannah Brinson, whom he married in 2013.

Their first child, LeBron "Bronny" James Jr., was born in 2004 and is currently in high school, where he displays tremendous talents on the courts. Bryce arrived in 2007 and looks forward to becoming a part of the basketball team at Sierra Canyon High.

The youngest member of the clan, Zhuri James, joined the family in 2014. The 6-year-old runs her own YouTube channel and has been in the spotlight since 2016.
