Savannah James is stepping all the way into the spotlight and lifting the veil of mystique that has largely shrouded her persona as the epitome of a perfect wife to LeBron James.
In what has been viewed as a shocking move by some, the beauty maven has jumped on the podcast trend. March 28 marked the launch of “Everybody’s Crazy,” which she hosts with friend and Crown and Conquer founder April McDaniel.
The girlfriends’ fireside chat show encourages listeners to call in and reveal their name, city, and, most important, their crazy. A teaser clip for the first episode piqued the curiosity of potential listeners as well as drew some criticism.
In the short video, Savannah uses her long nails to tap and caress a rounded mic cover in an ASMR moment. As she giggled at the suggestive hand gestures, McDaniel asked, “Don’t we have to say something?” Savannah responds, “We’ll do that afterwards,” with a smile on her face.
“Aye why was Savannah James touching the mic like that? What did she mean by that?” asked an X user. Another male user, who also perceived the mic play as being sexually charged, commented, “Savannah James knew what she was doing rubbing on that mic like that too smh.”

“Can’t wait to hear some Gems from the queen,” wrote one person who was eager to tune in. “No more silent Savannah!!!” sound on!!!!" wrote another prospective fan.
But some who are not onboard with the mother of three giving up her spot on the sidelines quipped, “She’s going to ruin the illusion,” seemingly alluding to her being revered as the ideal basketball wife to one of the league’s most iconic players.
In the past, male fans in particular have applauded Savannah for being the pillar of a supportive partner to the star athlete, all the while managing to keep her name attached to salacious headlines and gossip.
In her defense, one person wrote, “Men being upset about Savannah James having a podcast is nasty work. A lot of men really only see women as objects. Saying she will ‘ruin the illusion’ is crazy. She’s a whole human. With opinions and emotions and they don’t have to fit anyone’s ‘illusion.’”
Savannah James is not only the most classiest, gorgeous basketball wife in the game, she is literally perfect. A Black Queen personified
