LeBron James shares post-championship FaceTime with Mother

LeBron James is a champion once again and he helped the Los Angeles Lakers earn the 17th championship in a tumultuous season. The Lakers started to party hard in the locker room after the game, rightfully celebrating the culmination of a three month journey inside the Wide World of Sports at Disney World. While the Lakers were going wild in the locker room and players like J.R. Smith and Dwight Howard were on Instagram live, LeBron stepped out for a moment to FaceTime with his mother.

Reporters captured LeBron on the phone with his mom, Gloria James, as he puffed on a celebratory championship cigar.

LeBron then thanked his mother for raising him and saying how much he thanks for everything she went through in doing that.

LeBron’s last championship came over four years ago and one of the famous anecdotes from that was he found himself a quiet table for a postgame meal while the team partied at a Las Vegas club. With the Lakers scheduled to go back home, LeBron is likely looking forward to a quiet meal and a nice bottle of wine for one last time in the bubble.
