00:00Hi Vogue! Welcome to our home. I'm Savannah James. And I'm LeBron James. And these are our
00:06Objects of Affection. Let's get to it.
00:16This is the James family hyperbaric chamber that he loves and I don't so much. Technically,
00:22we both love the idea of a hyperbaric chamber. This is true. But this one particular, I love,
00:28she hates it. It's a little bit too small and claustrophobic for my wife. For me, I don't mind
00:34jumping into this little cocoon here and reaping the benefits of it. I do enjoy the benefits, but
00:39this little tiny space, it gives coughing to me and I don't like it. Yeah, I gotta get a bigger
00:44one.
00:44We gotta get a bigger one. This one came from my second sin in Cleveland. I brought it here with
00:50us and this one's been in the family for a long time. Was you doing the hyperbaric back in?
00:54No, I don't think so. Like 14, 15? I wasn't listening to you then about the hyphen
00:58the benefits, but now I understand. I get it. She'd like to like take her iPad and her phones
01:02and all that type of stuff. She wanted to be on like a little mini vacation while she's doing it.
01:06It's like a spa moment. I'm going to sleep. I'm not going to sleep. My ass go to sleep when
01:11I get in
01:11there. That's it. I'm going to sleep. I don't want to talk to nobody, see nobody, hear from nobody.
01:20Sports have taught me so much about life for me to be able to sit here with these trophies. They
01:25all have meaningful moments, meaningful points in my life. My first NBA championship 2012, I took a
01:31lot of media scrutiny for going to Miami in the first place. So I knew what I was making a
01:35decision
01:35for and I knew why I was there. I knew my purpose there. You know, when you put in work
01:39and you get
01:39the reward, that's, uh, it was definitely gratifying. I think because it was that you got so close in the,
01:45on the first year, you know, the first year. So trying to come back to get back to that moment
01:49in the second year and actually get the championship was, it was hard. It was a lot.
01:54It was a lot of mental strength. That's because y'all was there on year two.
01:58Yeah. You know, year one, y'all wasn't there. So that's why we lost it.
02:02This one right here is the 2020 championship. When I went to Los Angeles and was able to bring one
02:07home
02:07to such a historical, yeah, in the bubble and the craziness of the world that we had going on during
02:13the pandemic.
02:14I know sports definitely brings, um, a lot of goodwill and a good happiness to a lot of homes.
02:19So for us to be able to bring one back to, to Los Angeles, that was, um, another feat. That
02:23was awesome.
02:28Nobody could ever go wrong with a nice denim jacket, no matter if you wearing a sweatsuit,
02:32like a nice trousers with a t-shirt, you could throw this over the top.
02:35Like it's literally like an all purpose jean jacket. I mean, it does have a little
02:38flare because it is Louis Vuitton, baby. So, uh, yeah, yeah. You know, why not? Why not give it a
02:43little more? I feel like jean jackets get a bad rep nowadays with the younger generation. I feel like
02:47they say millennials wear a jean jacket with anything, everything. I think that it's a great
02:52nice details right here. We like stuff that feels good and looks good on us. It doesn't always have to
02:58have a label on it. To be honest, if you're not like really, really up on this jean jacket, you
03:02probably
03:03wouldn't know it was Louis Vuitton. It's the quiet luxury of it all. You love a quiet luxury moment.
03:08Exactly. So not so quiet because they're a little bit fun and loud because they have patches and all
03:14of the fun things. But I love my UGG Palace collab slides. These.
03:21Did you show the back of them? Why did you show the back of them?
03:23First of all. First of all. Dang, are you A-Town stumping in them shits?
03:27I love these. They are so comfortable. These shoes have been around the world,
03:32literally, three times. These are my travel shoes. I love them so much. If I got to get pat down
03:38extra
03:38at the security line, they're quick. Who patting me down? TSA. Who's that?
03:45If I got to get pat down, it's easy. If I'm on the plane, I want to lay out in
03:49my little cubby and go to
03:50sleep. I could kick them off real quick. These are my faves. And I think the patches are really cool.
03:54Who is this? UGG and who? Palace. Okay. UGG and Palace. We need a new set.
04:00Yeah. I mean, I love them. Matter of fact, send two of them to Miss Savannah James,
04:03like right now. They're not supposed to be broke down like this, but you know,
04:06for ease and comfort, I just went on ahead and A-Town stomped them down. They like my little babies
04:11and I just keep them until I can't keep them the water. So they're like your fourth child.
04:15No, not my fourth child, but definitely one of my faves for sure.
04:20This is a Cartier Crash watch. It is a skeleton face. So you see through into the components of
04:27the watch and all of the fun stuff that goes on inside of a watch. And I just thought it
04:31was a
04:31really beautiful gift and something I would like to see on him. It took me about six months to find,
04:37and I got it in the summer and our anniversary isn't until September. So I had to hold on to
04:43it
04:43until then it was burning a hole in my pocket, but. Literally and figuratively. Literally and figuratively.
04:48One of his love languages is definitely not receiving gifts. I think both of our
04:53love languages receiving gifts is not top three. No, it's cool. It's cool. I appreciate it.
04:59Same. Especially that. Thank you. That's crazy. We've been on the hunt for a long time. I appreciate that.
05:08We are here at the Cold Plunge, one of the best places in the house. Why are you looking like
05:14that?
05:15Because it's not the best. So many benefits to the Cold Plunge. Recovery at its peak,
05:21you know, especially, I mean, I train so much. I work out a lot. The Cold Plunge will reset everything.
05:27I don't like it. It will reset everything and just make you feel like, ah. It's too cold. I walk
05:33around cold all day. I'm a cold blooded person. So getting in something else that's cold is torture.
05:39I've been trying to convince her for 20 years to get in the Cold Plunge. And I've done it. I've
05:43done it.
05:43I could give you a solid three minutes for like, no. He could definitely stay the longest. Yeah, there's
05:47nobody. Yeah. But also. Bronny and Bryce will do it. I feel like Bryce is more on my end of
05:52the spectrum
05:53than Bronny is. Like Bronny will get in it. And Bryce understands the importance of all the things.
05:58So he'll get into it. But I'm giving you three minutes. That's all I got.
06:07So we are in the kitchen area of the house now, and we are going to go to dessert row.
06:13This is his
06:13favorite part for sure. And the guest's favorite part. And the guest. More than anything. Absolutely.
06:17The guest's favorite part. For sure. So we got some Funfetti mini cakes. Chocolate cake.
06:22That is so good. You need a ticket for that. You need a Willy Wonka golden ticket for that.
06:25I think these are called Bambolini's. Cream filled donuts. You got me. I don't know that. That
06:31shit look nasty. Pecan covered brownies. And then we have a s'mores brownie, which is a little bit more
06:39decadent. We have desserts all the time. So I'm like, we need to make it a thing. Our friends and
06:44family
06:44like, no, they always ask Chef D like at the end of dinner, like, Dina, what's on dessert row?
06:49Like what's for dessert? What's the options? The biggest offender in the house of dessert row
06:53is this guy. He eats chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cake every single day and ice cream.
06:59And I run up and down the court and I get that. My voice had to sound like that a
07:03long time, but
07:04I don't need to have all the desserts. I don't eat candy and things of that nature. But like,
07:09for some odd reason, I got like one tooth. Got that little extra spot. I got one
07:12tooth and super sweet on that chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.
07:20This is a Basquiat piece called Minor Success. If I had to think it to his mind, maybe a little
07:25bit, I just think it's just the beginning, you know, as he's making his works, making his rounds.
07:30In some of his early works, he didn't have the money or the resources to actually put some of his
07:35works on canvas. This is some of the first works where he started to use the crown and it resonated
07:39to
07:39not only me, but it resonated to our family. All these A's that you see in the middle,
07:44he was a big fan of Hank Aaron, the great baseball player that played for the Atlanta Braves. So that's
07:47kind of a nod to him there. This right here is like the cars that's running through New York City
07:51all the time. We're super humbled to be able to even have a piece like this. Such a legend.
07:55To be able to live with every day. It's really cool.
07:58Yeah. Hey, this is the couch. One of the oldest things in the house.
08:05For sure. Besides this guy. Oh, ain't that a bit. Oh yeah, you good. That was good.
08:10That was a little joke I had. Oh, damn, my bad. I didn't mean to sit on your body print
08:15right here.
08:16My body be right here. Your body be right here. This is where we end up at the end of
08:19the night.
08:20We have dinner here. Yeah, we'll have dinner here. We're gonna watch movies here. We watch movies here.
08:25This couch has literally grown with us as we've been here and we've changed other things in the house,
08:30decorative stuff in the house. But never once was it considering changing this couch. No, never.
08:35No, it just fits. It's perfect. The most important conversation that's happened on this couch.
08:40Would it be Ronnie's decision to go to college or where he was going to go to college? We had
08:46a lot of
08:46those combos here with him. A lot of things have happened on this couch for sure. But you know,
08:51when you have conversations about the future of your kids, it don't get no better than that.
09:00This bracelet is one of my favorite objects in the house. It has the three of my kids heartbeats on
09:07it,
09:07along with the bronze initial on the clasp. I got this for my birthday and I cried after I got
09:14it
09:14because I'm very sensitive when it comes to very thoughtful gifts like this. And I just think that
09:20it's a way for me to continue to wear my kids heartbeats just to be able to have this with
09:24me
09:24when I travel when I'm away from them. It's just a reminder that they're always with me. The lessons
09:30that each of them have taught me, I would say Ronnie taught me just like unconditional love. That was my
09:36first born, my first boy, just like, I don't know, there's a connection that you get in that moment that
09:42is indescribable. So I feel like that was just like true love. Rice taught me that I can love even
09:51more
09:51like the expansion of like being able to love another human being. And Zuri has taught me patience.
09:57Also, she has given me like so much purpose. I feel like having a girl is very different than boys.
10:03For
10:03me, it just put different things in perspective just about who I wanted to be and how I wanted to
10:08show up for her.
10:13This is my Mercedes Maybach LeBron James edition. This is a one of two. This one is ours. And then
10:20the second one is being auctioned off actually in all the proceeds that go to the LeBron James Family
10:25Foundation. The efforts to continue to build our community with our families and our kids that go
10:29through our programs. One of the main details that I love says Maybach, October 6, 2004, June 14, 2007,
10:38and October 22, 2014. Those are Bronnie, Bryce and Zuri's birthdays. Always got the kids with us.
10:46We're rolling good. Kids with us too. My favorite part would be the recline in the back.
10:53So when we are off going wherever we're going, I can relax and kick my little feet up and probably
10:59take my shoes off. That is my favorite part for this car.
11:07Vogue, it's been fun. I hope you guys have enjoyed us showing us our objects of affection,
11:11but y'all been here since 8 a.m. We tired and y'all ain't got to go home, but
11:15you got to get out of here.
11:16I ain't got to get the hell out of here. See y'all. Welcome to our home.
11:21Oh, I said I'm gonna let you finish. I'm tired.
11:24Y'all ain't got to go home, but y'all got to get out of here.
11:26It's been unbelievable having y'all in our home. We don't open it up to many, but...
11:33But...
11:33Oh, shit. Sorry.
