LeBron James arrived at Sunday’s Lakers-Grizzlies game wearing more than team colors-he wore confidence curated by his pre-teen daughter.
Zhuri’s Fashion Debut
James told media that Zhuri asked earlier last week if she could dress him for a game. He booked her slot for Sunday, then stepped back. The fourth-grader selected the navy-and-gold Better Gift Shop x #Roots x Motown Records bomber that originally retailed for $900 and had last been seen on the star in January 2020.
> “She took care of me today,” James said while walking the tunnel. “She asked, ‘Dad, can I get you dressed for one of your games?’ I said, ‘Yup, you got it on Sunday.'”
Zhuri topped the retro jacket with a cream wool beanie, denim jeans, and LeBron’s own Nike sneakers, finishing the look with gold eyeglasses.
Proud Girl-Dad Moments
The four-time MVP has celebrated fatherhood often:
- March 2024 Lakers Facebook clip: *”I’m one of them and wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
- December 2024 Instagram cheer when Zhuri chose his old No. 6 jersey for her school volleyball season: “YOU GO GIRL!!!!!! LET’S GO BABY Z!!”
James and wife Savannah, his high-school sweetheart, also share sons Bronny, 21, and Bryce, 18.
| Family Member | Age | Spotlight Moment |
|---|---|---|
| Bronny | 21 | Draft-eligible guard |
| Bryce | 18 | High-school senior |
| Zhuri | 11 | Stylist for dad’s 1-4-2026 game |
Key Takeaways
- Zhuri’s styling gig marks the first time LeBron has publicly credited a child for his wardrobe choice
- The jacket she picked is a limited 2019 release, proving the 11-year-old has an eye for rare pieces
- James continues to champion girl-dad pride, documenting Zhuri’s milestones for millions of fans
After the Lakers’ 120-114 win, the stat sheet credited LeBron with the points-but inside the arena, Zhuri earned the style assist of the night.
