The James family is just full of stars. The 8-year-old daughter of LeBron James may be the most influential member of the family. Basketball bros Bryce and Bronny have established themselves, but Zhuri James, the daughter of Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James, has been a mystery since she began playing. Surprisingly, she chose to play volleyball over basketball.
Recently, when LeBron went to his daughter’s volleyball game, he took his chance to troll Zhuri. “Let’s go munchkin,” said James, to which his daughter James had the cutest reaction. Zhuri turned toward her father in the crowd with a stare and then turned back to focus on her game. This gave LeBron James his perfect dad laugh.
She turned around like “nigga pleaseee do not embarrass me”

Obviously, LeBron posted the video on his Instagram, and people just can’t get enough of it. While a lot of them thought Zhuri was in the wrong sport, some just happened to appreciate how good of a dad LeBron was. But the best reaction was, “She turned around like ‘ni**a, pleaseee do not embarrass me,’” as her dad LeBron James always seizes any opportunity to embarrass his 8-year-old daughter.
Fans were astonished to see the youngest member of the James family have a great performance in her game. Zhuri’s performance was undoubtedly a focus, but social media fans were equally fascinated by the Lakers superstar’s hilarious encouragement. James’s endearing “munchkin” calls won over a few fans.
Zhuri James is believed to be a volleyball star in the making
LeBron James was a perfect idol to follow for the kids, but unlike her elder brothers Bronny and Bryce, Zhuri thinks otherwise. She enjoys playing volleyball. She would be the first of his children to not follow in James’ footsteps if her passion for volleyball persisted into her later years. On the court, both of his kids, Bronny and Bryce, show a lot of promise. Zhuri is good too, just not in the same court.
Earlier this year, LeBron posted an adorable video of Zhuri serving a volleyball flawlessly. “My (volleyball star) in the making,” he wrote with the video. Of course, LeBron is her biggest supporter.

In addition to playing volleyball and maintaining a successful YouTube channel, Zhuri models the Disney Princess Collection by Janie and Jack, which was created with inspiration from different Disney princesses. Through the personalities of many well-known Disney princesses, the campaign encourages children everywhere to share their random acts of kindness.
Additionally, Zhuri Nova has over 430k followers on Instagram and is a popular figure there. Her father and mother run the page on her behalf.
