Kevin Gates Turns up Courtside at LeBron’s Game With Brittany Renner After Savanah James Diss

Kevin Gates, who made contentious comments about Savannah James on social media a few days ago, attended Game 2 at Crypto.com Arena, a short distance from LeBron James. Savannah James wasn’t present at the scene.

For those who haven’t been paying attention, this wasn’t just another appearance by a famous person. This individual, who was physically present in LeBron’s home, referred to his wife as “the warden” and claimed that white women loved the NBA star more than she did. In his now-famous tirade on Instagram, Gates stated:

“I don’t like the way Savannah look at LeBron. I like the way them white women look at LeBron. As soon as he walk out there, they just be like, ‘Oh oh oh.’ They be d—– out.”

Is Kevin Gates trying to patch things with LeBron James?

Savannah has always represented steadfast, devoted support without fanfare, which is exactly what made her absence so apparent. Without explanation, his courtside visit seemed more like a dare than an olive branch.

Beyond Gates’ unexpected appearance, however, the incident highlights a deeper undercurrent in NBA culture, particularly how Black love is perceived and how athletes’ partners, who are frequently dismissed as “WAGs,” are treated in the spotlight.

Over the course of his more than 20 years in the NBA, LeBron James’ personal life has been scrutinized alongside his performance.
