Savannah Brinson, LeBron James' Girlfriend, Unhappy With His Miami Decision

There are plenty of people who aren't very happy with LeBron James' decision to sign with the Miami Heat and play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. James' girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, was not too pleased about it either.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Brinson explained how she wasn't initially very excited about moving to Miami. "Personally, Miami was not my favorite place," she said. "Vacationing there is great. You go for three days and get some sun, and it's time to go home."

She also said she is very excited to have a sunny Christmas, but "it will definitely be an adjustment."

While Brinson may need time to adjust, the couple's son has his eyes on bigger and better things. "I'm going to play in the NBA," he proclaims.

James has received a large amount of criticism for his decision to leave Cleveland. NBA Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson both said they wouldn't have done what James did. The city of Cleveland has started to move on, mocking James with a giant billboard.

No I understand her point. She is pretty by Akron's standards, in Miami she doesn't make the cut.

Hmmmm let's see, would I wanna live in Miami or Akron? Girl you know you are just worried about the competition. You are not yet married and you know with a model on every block, she will have a lot of sleepless nights.

Miami wants a championship and the NBA wants to spread it hold into South America, makes perfect sense.

Miami has a lot more groupies than Cleveland. Its easy to see why she might not like Cleveland and that lifestyle for her FAMILY

Quote: LeBron caught reporters off guard when referring to Brinson as his wife one night as their unmarried status is widely known. When James was asked why he to Brinson as his wife, he said: “Same difference: wife, girlfriend. When she’s living with you, she’s your wife. When she isn’t living with her mother anymore, she’s your wife.”

regardless of what it sound like, this man is taking care of his own while so many don't!Also if he wanted to cheat or tranfer his wealth to someone else he would have already.You have many who have less than him that gladly do as if they a gaining some of of respect or acceptance.So honestly the joke has and always will be on the haters who down the men who chose not trade his kids in for someone elses pride and joy. And, let keep it real this is what these comments are really about!

Having piles of money will ease the pain girl, don't you worry....

As long as the money is there she'd live with LeBron in Timbucktu.

But she was been with him since high school when he had no money. So no matter what she is a gold digger?

[janman88]

i see your point with that, but she could still very well be a gold digger even if she was with him sense high school, he was clearly going to the nba when he was in high school, im not saying she is because i dont know her...but im not sayin she aint, lol

I think the comments are more of a reflection of what everyone thinks of Lebron James the man, and not Samantha Brinson the woman.

Sad. Really sad.

Are we supposed to believe that she wanted to stay n cleveland? She may have been hoping for NYC but i think she was just as through with Cleveland as he was

She's not leaving Cleveland. She will be staying in Cleveland because she doesn't want to uproot her sons.

It's time to get her a PR person so she doesn't seem so dense.

1. she is a GIRLFRIEND not a wife
2. James makes his decision according to his professional needs and desires.
3. Miami will surely be happy about her expressed feelings about the city.

James loves her I am sure, however, she needs to put herself in check about what she may say publicly. It may effect HIS career NOT hers.

She has been with him ten years which makes her more of a wife than Angelina Jolie.

for me, this is a LOL article and therefore i ask...what if she were 'wife' and not 'girlfriend'? :) maybe she should stay in Cleveland and visit him in MIA for her 'sunny' christmas...LOL!

Not that I am all that, but let's be real for a minute. If Lebron was not Lebron would any of these so-call women even be interested in him. I have never heard anyone say that Lebron was handsome...

[Tmboy]

02:25 PM on 08/10/2010

He's still a 6 foot * inches muscular black man. I'm a lesbian but I've been told that the height of a man and hand size denotes the size of something else. I don't think those go out of fashion. Also she's been with him since high school. She's was there before he was this "Lebron James"

[lotus321]

Precisely. and that is why the two of them will be just fine. He knows she is a real women who loves him for him. He want be sway by some floozy (sp?) with fake body parts.. If the woman you have at home is fantastic, there is no need to stray..what is the point?

[Vanity357]

They told you wrong. Trust me...I know. Falling for that height and hand size thing will lead you down a path of disappointment every time. Sigh...

It seems all the people talking about white and Latina women forget that there are fine women of all races in Miami and other places. Yea, that even includes black women. (surprise) What a revelation, right? Yesterday I said a Cleveland 10 might be a Miami 5. Well that was said half in jest, but the point is, there are abundantly more aesthetic reasons to be in Miami over Cleveland. That's just fact. If you have hangups about women of various races dating/marrying black men, then it is you who have the problem, not me. I don't limit what I deem attractive based on it's wrapping. Beauty comes in all shades. I like Miami women because most of them I see on the beach appear physically fit. If you can't do "fit", then you have no argument.

That said, some would argue that if LBJ saw her as his mate, he would have married her by now. Not having done so gives him license to party all he wants to and avoid the scrutiny Wade and Tiger might have experienced. Basically, if they aren't married - there's a reason.

[lotus321]

Now we are in full agreement qdog. I fully understand the fit part and the license to party comment.

[qdog112]

Thanks, I'm glad we agree on that point.

With the money that Lebron has marrying would be foolish. The only people who benefit from a Wealthy persons marriage are attorneys. The relationship Lebron has with his girlfriend is probably stronger then most marriages. The only person he has a commitment to is his son, and they seem to have a strong bond.
