During Wednesday night’s presentation of the ESPYs, LeBron James saw his family get in one of the best jokes of the night.
As Savannah James and her three children joined the stage to honor the Los Angeles Lakers star for breaking the NBA’s all-time scoring record, the matriarch of the James household decided to give her husband a very fitting, nearly NSFW tribute on-stage.
In what is clearly a planned bit, Savannah James began to say a compliment about LeBron James that would’ve hilariously ended in a swear word. Right before she said it, her daughter Zhuri stopped her to the crowd’s amusement.

LeBron himself got a kick out of the moment, which is surely one that will be talked about around the James’ family dinner table for some time. Zhuri James’ reaction was absolutely priceless, even if the moment was undoubtedly staged.
We’ve all wanted to stop our parents from embarrassing us in public from time to time, and this really funny bit from the James family shows that even the youngest in your family know when to throw up the caution flags.
