LeBron James is heading to the Philadelphia 76ers, and it's not just him who has to adjust to this new world on the East Coast. James' family is also making the move with him, including his wife, Savannah James.

James has made no secret of the fact that family is central to his life. When he was making a decision about what team to play for after leaving the Lakers, Shams Charania said that the "last hurdle" for James going to the 76ers was "getting the family on board."

Well, they're on board, and James is grateful. Now, James has sent out a special tribute to his wife, Savannah, on her birthday.

"Tell mom I said happy birthday dad," another added.

"She's such a class act," one more added.

"Happy birthday, Savannah. You're an inspiration and a great role model for young women always keeping it classy, as always," another follower added.

Savannah James Was Key to the Move to Philadelphia

Back when James was making a decision to go to Philadelphia, Charania commented on how he had to get his family on board, and he elaborated.

"This is a complete family change for them," Charania said of the decision. "Over the last eight years, he's been playing in L.A. Now he's going to be on the East Coast. Getting them all in one vicinity was very important. He was able to spend this week in Los Angeles with his family."

So, James and his family are going from the West Coast to the East Coast. It's quite a change, but it's not like it's the first time. This is his fourth franchise, so they're used to change. It's also his final stop.
