Who is she? That seems to be the foremost question on everyone’s mind as a viral photo of Bronny James in Paris has gone viral. The 19-year-old was among the spectators watching Team USA vs Brazil. And while anything to do with LeBron’s son instantly makes headlines, this time it’s unexpectedly the woman next to him that has everyone scratching their heads! X account BronnyMuse tweeted an image of James Jr. decked in a simple white t-shirt and black shorts, looking down, presumably, at the game.

Seated next to him was a beautiful woman who remains a mystery for the time being. Of course, this was enough for the buzz to start. “Bronny James was in attendance for USA vs Brazil,” the image caption read. “Went to support his teammate Lebron James 👀🔥” It certainly leaves a weird taste in the mouth to call LeBron James Bronny’s teammate. All these years, it’s been ‘Dad’ or ‘LeBron’s son’. But change is constant and we’ve got to get used to that description. At least for the year(s) that the pair will be playing together.

As for Team USA, whom Bronny James showed up to watch, they put on a dominant showing, defeating Brazil 122-87. Devin Booker (18 points), for a change, led the scoring this time, over Anthony Edwards (17 points). But the highlight of the day was Kevin Durant. The hoops veteran only needed 6 points to pass WNBA legend, Lisa Leslie’s 488 points and become the all-time leading scorer in US Olympic basketball history.

For his part, KD finished with 11 points off the bench, and his final score was 489. There is no doubt that the number will see an increase in the coming matchups. Responding to the achievement, the 2x NBA champion had a standard Durant-esque reply. “Records are meant to be broken, so somebody will come along and do the same to me. My focus is on trying to win this gold.”

Well, it’s going to get even more difficult after every game from now. But this group of men has everything it takes to make it happen. Enough about Team USA. Going back to Bronny James, though, how are the Lakers rookie and his newly surfaced pal faring on X?

Bronny James gets the Jimmy Butler treatment on X!

While we are yet to know the details of this mystery woman beside the ex-USC guard, it hasn’t stopped many from being in awe of Bronny’s “game”. This Heat fan, for instance, lightheartedly commented, “I was unfamiliar with Bronnys game.” Surely, you get the reference? Miami star, Jimmy Butler has an impressive list of fans that includes A-list celebrities and legendary music sensations like Shakira, Iggy Azalea, Selena Gomez, and more recently, Camila Cabello.

We don’t have to point out the obvious here; that these are beautiful women. As such, whenever there’s an instance of any NBA player and a particularly good-looking woman by his side, either a Butler GIF or this above comment is ‘the standard.’ Here’s another example. “we see you bronny,” wrote this fan, and unsurprisingly, followed it with a Jimmy GIF.

What’s your perspective on:

Who is the mystery woman with Bronny James? Is this the start of a new power couple?

Have an interesting take?

This next fan, though, seems to have a different outlook on it. “Hope Bronny found his Savannah.” Well, in all honesty, it might be a little early for that. But one can never know, as his parents were college sweethearts themselves, who got married almost a decade after beginning their journey together. Another individual had a similar line of thought as well. “Winning on and off the court 👑” 

As to winning on the court, there might be a few who disagree. His Summer League performance has provided mixed results. But the one takeaway every talking head agrees on is that he is certainly a hard-working kid, and in time, could showcase great performances.

And finally, THE question of the day. “who dat is next to him ? 👀” Where are all the social media detectives at when you need them? Until Bronny James responds to this or someone manages to find who the woman is, this image will be living rent-free in our heads.
