LeBron James is allegedly expecting his third child after his wife, Savannah Brinson was spotted with a baby bump, and is taking his daddy duties more serious than his father. The Miami Heat baller blasted and praised his unknown father for abandoning him and his mother as a child on Instagram.

"Like, Now, Dad, you know what, I don't know you, I have no idea who you are, but because of you is part of the reason who I am today. The fuel that I use-you not being there- it's part of the reason I grew up to become who I am. It's part of the reason why I want to be hands- on with my endeavors... So me in a position allowing people around me to grow, that maybe wouldn't have happened if I had two parents, two sisters, a dog, and a picket fence, you know?"

LeBron captioned added to his Instagram photo writing, "Because of you Pops! Thanks all along. Could have said why me with u not being there but look what I made of myself. Thanks to Huffington Post for the graphic. #StriveForGreatness"

In 2004, LeBron and Savannah had their first child, LeBron Jr. while Savannah was a senior in a high school and LeBron endured his first year in the NBA. Three years later the couple welcomed Bryce Maximus in 2007.
