LeBron James Is Thrilled After Daughter Zhuri Chooses His Number for Her Volleyball Jersey: ‘LETS GO BABY Z’

LeBron James is one proud dad!

The NBA legend took to social media to share a series of new photos of his 10-year-old daughter Zhura James in her volleyball uniform and with her teammates.

“🥰🥰😍😍🤎🤎🤎 YOU JUST GIRL!!!!!! @allthingszhuri LET’S GO BABY Z!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Good luck this season and GO CRAZY!! 🏐👋🏾. #JamesGang👑,” the Los Angeles Lakers star captioned the post.

Zhuri gave a sweet nod to her superstar dad with her jersey number — 6, which LeBron wore for the Miami Heat, Team USA (including this summer in Paris when they won gold) and briefly for the Lakers.

Zhuri is the youngest member of the James family to show talent in sports – following in the footsteps of his basketball star older brothers Bryce, 17, and NBA rookie Bronny, 20.

Last year, LeBron took to Instagram to share footage of himself attending one of Zhuri’s volleyball games and cheering in the stands, yelling “Let’s go munchkin.”

Speaking with Access to Hollywood back in 2021, LeBron gushed about his daughter. “My daughter is the biggest thing in my life, next to my boys. So whenever she smiles, it doesn’t matter what I’m doing, it makes me happy,” he told the newspaper at the time.
