CLEVELAND - LeBron James will soon fill out his backcourt.
Cleveland’s All-Star forward and his girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, are expecting their second child in June, James revealed before the Cavaliers’ game Monday night against the New Orleans Hornets.
“On June 17, I think,” he said, chuckling. “Don’t ask the daddy, ask the mama.”
The couple’s first son, LeBron James Jr., is 2 and usually sits courtside to watch his dad play. By the time the NBA finals roll around this season, James might need a spot for a baby stroller.
The 22-year-old James, who was raised by his single mother, said fatherhood has had a positive impact on his life.
“It has definitely changed me,” he said. “It’s more responsibility, there’s the carrying on of the name. It’s not letting my son down or my other son. Just carrying on the James name and being respectful of my family, that’s the most important thing for me.”
James said he and his girlfriend have not picked out any names for the baby. He was asked if he would follow former boxing champion George Foreman’s lead and name all of his children after him. Foreman named each of his five sons, George.
“Absolutely not,” James said, laughing. “There will not be LeBron II and III and IV and V.”
