LeBron James Ripped by Journalist Over Bronny James Prom Photo

Bronny James, son of LeBron James, recently has been at the center of attention. Naturally, being the son of an NBA GOAT makes you famous without even having to make a name for yourself. But Bronny, just like his father, has started turning heads with his high school games.

As most people know, LeBron James was a player for the Cleveland Cavaliers when he was 18 years old. If he approaches things like his father, he is certainly set to be an excellent athlete. Even if he is not as good as his father yet, he is certainly good enough to have people talk about this game.

But most recently, it wasn’t his game that was in the news. Rather it was because of a schoolmate a certain 17-year-old Bronny took to prom as his date.

Many people and the media were concerned about the racial aspects of things which, in any case, should not have mattered whatsoever.

Reporter slams LeBron James after Bronny James’ prom date

Bronny brought a white girl as his date for his high school prom and that is in the news now. Bronny and LeBron have seen backlash due to it, which should not have been the case, yet people are talking about it.

Troy said, “It’s just rolling his son right in and just rolling down the same track. so it’s the media. so the media is the one that’s tweeting out all the racist stuff about him, taking this white girl to the prom. I’m saying you guys need fueling it [for] your future, how you treat LeBron.”

The reporter answered, “Troy, let me respectfully disagree again. Here’s the problem. they put up the tweet. I didn’t know about the tweet until it became a story. There’s not a single journalist out there that was really responding. Saying, wait a minute, ‘why are you with the ‘Becky Beckington’? And has your father gotten to page three of The Malcolm X Autobiography?’ That was not happening. I would even argue that most of the perception of LeBron from the media is actually positive because much of his goodwill has been amplified. That’s actually been covered.”

Bronny is 17 now and by the time he gets ready for the NBA he can work on his game and change the narrative to whether the NBA is ready for him. There is a chance that LeBron and Bronny get to play together. LeBron has often pushed himself and admitted his desire to share the court with his son one day in the NBA. As for Bronny’s prom date, there has been much controversy, rather unnecessarily. But is LeBron James to be blamed in any way?
