“People clowning Bronny James for his prom date are just miserable”: NFL star Robert Griffin III and NBA Twitter defend LeBron James’ eldest son from trolls

LeBron James’ eldest son, Bronny James blew up social media as he posted photos with his date from his high school prom night.

When you are the son of LeBron James, one of the world’s most renowned athletes, every decision of yours, on the court and off the court, gets overanalyzed. Bronny James has been facing this issue his entire life.

Recently, the 17-year-old took a special lady friend, Peyton Gelfuso, as his prom date.

Believe it or not, as unreasonable as it sounds, the 6-foot-3 combo-guard received backlash on social media for not taking a lady of his same ethnicity as him along with him for the special occasion.

Congratulations on prom to Bronny James. Ignore the hateful comments. I heard the same nonsense from ppl in 1993 when I took my girlfriend to prom. We ended up getting married & having beautiful mixed babies. Do what makes you happy Bronny. Props to @KingJames for raising a champ pic.twitter.com/sVQdZLSBvc
