"Next time I'm alone, it would be underneath" - LeBron James drops insight on fighting for his marriage with Savannah James

LeBron James opened up about his marriage to Savannah James, dropping insight into their relationship that started when they were in high school. "The King" is willing to do anything to preserve his marriage because he doesn't want to be alone.

In a special episode of Savannah's "Everybody's Crazy" podcast with co-host April McDaniel, James was joined by Travis Bennett, Fanum, and Kai Cenat. They discussed a variety of topics, including why the LA Lakers superstar always fights for his relationship with his wife.

"I know I don't want to be alone, that's for damn sure," James said, according to the New York Post. "If I got to fight, crawl, scratch, bite, whatever to keep mine, I got to keep it. I have to do what I have to do. I don't want to be alone.

The four-time NBA champion added:

"I'm an only child, single-parent household. I knew for sure. … When I got with 'Vannah, I was like, 'This sh*t is crazy, this is amazing. I love this sh*t'. I’m like, 'Nah, f*ck that (being alone).' Next time I'm alone, I'll be underneath."

LeBron James will fight for his wife no matter what, especially given the horror stories he's heard from his teammates during his career.

"I sit in the locker room and, sh*t now, and there's a lot of women out here that's now flipped the script," James said. "And some homies are out here trying to be good, too, trying to figure it out. And now they are looking in the mirror saying: 'Damn, what did I do wrong?'"

There are a lot of NBA couples who have been together for a long time and have families. However, there are also short-term relationships over the years that don't end well for the players.
