LeBron James surprised his wife, Savannah James, with a $100k painting he bought from a restaurant. According to his former teammate Michael Beasley, who recently recounted the tale, the 4x NBA champion was dining with his teammates at an Italian restaurant when he became captivated by one of the paintings created by a renowned artist.

LeBron James quickly phoned Savannah, urging her to mimic the person depicted in the frame, and then approached the restaurant owner to inquire about purchasing the painting. Beasley concluded his narrative by suggesting that James was likely the “most romantic player” in the league.

Beasley described James’ response as the most romantic gesture he had ever witnessed.

He had the owner come over and the thing was like 100,000, 50,000, like maybe more, but he told ‘Do I want to buy it’ so now I’m like really like ‘Bro, what you about to do?’ He literally said ‘I’mma have my wife recreate the photo shoot, I’mma put this one in storage and I’m gonna hang my wife’s in the house.
