LeBron James demonstrated his ability as a joyful father in an Instagram post by posting three videos of his daughter Zhuri’s volleyball game.

‘King James’ has three children, and this time it was his daughter’s turn to demonstrate her abilities, as she demonstrated a precise serve to give her team points, while her teammates congratulated her and, from the stands, LeBron did not hide his delight at seeing his daughter’s abilities, whom he referred to as “munchkin.”

During Sunday’s Zhuri Nova game, LeBron posted videos of his eight-year-old daughter’s serving skills in the first two and her getting ready to defend in the third, but the fun part came when the NBA legend’s shout, “Let’s go munchkin,” caused his little girl to return a look that could be interpreted as him embarrassing her.

The videos were accompanied with the message, “There’s another one in the works!” Uh-Oh!!” Let’s go, Munchin!!” @allthingszhuri is up next!! VIBES!! #JamesGang #ZTheWarriorPrincess.”

The comments on Instagram were immediate, with several parents identifying themselves by stating they do the same, and others emphasizing Zhuri’s distinct expression in the aftermath of LeBron’s delighted support.

LeBron James defends Bronny

Along with Zhuri, his older brothers are known for their love of sports, but they favor basketball. Bronny, 19, has committed to the University of Southern California (USC), whereas Bryce, 16, has not.

Bronny’s condition was updated earlier this month by James, who stated that he underwent “successful surgery” after suffering a heart arrest while practicing basketball last July.

Given that Bronny is still recovering from heart problems sustained in early 2023, it’s no surprise that LeBron is particularly protective of him right now.

It’s uncertain when he’ll be able to return to USC Basketball action, but that’s the goal. Many critics appear to assume that Bronny lacks the athleticism of LeBron at the same age.

Others, however, believe he’s showing signs of being just as good despite his tiny frame.

This prompted LeBron James to cite a tweet on the same subject. “To say that Bronny is as athletic or even more athletic than Bron at his age is not far-fetched, as he does it when he is 6’2 and not 6’8,” a member of the public commented.

The Los Angeles Lakers player then highlighted the post and went on the offensive to defend his son’s performance: “Exactly, he’s definitely not up to his age,” he said. “Casuals just like to argue about things they literally don’t know about.”
