Is Bronny James setting a new standard for young love with his heartfelt gestures?

Bronny James might just be the biggest romantic ever! Hours after the 19-year-old took to Instagram, sharing a photo of him and his girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, against the Paris Disneyland backdrop, writing, “I miss my baby,” Bronny took the next step. On the road with the Purple & Gold right now, the Lakers rookie seems to realize just how painful it is to stay away from his love.

But he grew up with a couple with arguably the greatest love stories ever. LeBron James and Savannah James are the very personification of the perfect couple! Not just right, but perfect, in pretty much every way. Needless to say, the young James knows what it takes to keep a relationship alive and thriving.

So, what did he do next? Send Parker a lovely bouquet, of course! Whitfield shared a photo of the flowers Bronny James sent with an adorable, handwritten note that read, “Your bf loves you so much.” She tagged James in the photo with a few face-holding-back-tears emojis.

Bronny re-shared the post in his IG story with just two kissing emojis, showcasing their sweet bond. Would it be a stretch to say the young guard is smitten with Miss Whitfield? His thoughtful gesture shows that the USC alum remains committed to nurturing his relationship even amidst the demands of his rookie season, – no doubt a page from his parents’ playbook.

Speaking of his challenging debut year, Bronny is fresh off another taunt in the Lakers last night’s loss to the Pistons.

Los Angeles’ defeat at the hands of none other than the Pistons last night is a matchup they would rather forget as quickly as possible. Detroit’s back-to-back finishes as the league’s last seed only deepen the sting of the Lakers’ defeat. And to make sure the LA side knew it, the crowd at Little Ceasars directed their attention to Bronny.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Bronny James setting a new standard for young love with his heartfelt gestures?

Have an interesting take?

The Pistons held an eight-point lead over the Purple & Gold when a challenge stoppage was called late in the third quarter. Here’s the interesting part. As soon as it was called, chants of “We want Bronny” filled the entire arena, as the thrilled Pistons fans mocked the team, essentially expressing their belief that Bronny’s presence on the court wouldn’t make any significant impact in the Lakers’ chance at winning.

It’s no secret that the franchise’s No. 55 pick has been struggling in his NBA debut. We only saw him dominate in the preseason matchup against the Warriors. Although he scored 17 points, LAL lost the matchup by a massive 58-point margin.

Anyway, despite the crowd’s taunting request, Bronny James remained on the bench as he watched the Lakers accept defeat at the hands of a team that finished as the last seed in the points chart in two consecutive seasons.
