Los Angeles – A night of tears and anxiety swept the NBA community as LeBron James, the greatest basketball superstar of his generation, confirmed that his mother, Gloria James, was seriously ill. The news shocked fans around the world, while prayers and messages of support poured into the James family from all over.

According to sources close to the player, LeBron broke down in tears as he shared in a short but emotional post on social media: “My mother is fighting strong. Please keep her in your prayers.” The post, which was only a few lines, brought the entire basketball world to a standstill. Millions of fans, teammates, and even opponents who had faced him on the court sent their words of encouragement.

From Los Angeles to Cleveland, from Miami to Akron, where LeBron was born and raised, people organized spontaneous vigils, hung “Stay Strong Gloria” banners on basketball courts and sports centers. Some fans even said they stayed up all night to light candles and pray for the “King’s mother” to overcome this difficult period.

A former teammate of LeBron shared: “Gloria is not only LeBron’s mother, she is part of our soul. She always appeared in the front row, cheering with all her heart. We cannot imagine the pain LeBron is going through.”

A source from the Lakers inside said that LeBron is considering taking a break from playing, at least for a few days, to return to take care of his mother. The team’s head coach respected that decision and affirmed that “Family is always the most important thing.”

The American media called this “the most human moment in the career of a legend.” The man who has overcome hundreds of pressures and titles is now facing the most severe challenge – the pain of his child.

The basketball community is sending a unified message:

“Stay strong, King. Stay strong, Gloria.”
