The story linking Bronny James to Larsa Pippen is getting a tidal wave of disgust, including from the 46-year-old, LeBron James and Savannah.

It was a dark day in Internet history when fans began trolling Bronny just for liking a pic of Larsa. The 16-year-old is a family friend of the Pippen family, and is 30 years younger to Larsa. The trolling was mostly humorous, but there were also some nefarious elements involved.
All in all, it’s not a pretty look for the NBA fans who engaged in pushing this storyline. Even for arguments’ sake, the Internet should be a safe place for a 16-year-old to like a pic of a family friend. The levels of prudishness being portrayed are astounding.
LeBron has also stepped into the scene now with his wife Savannah. The couple will want to shield their eldest son from needless scrutiny, after all.
How LeBron James, Savannah and Larsa Pippen responded to Internet trolls on Bronny James
Larsa, who was the chief target of the meme artists, did not hold back in her assessment:
“I’ll sue the fk out of you for writing some disgusting lies you weirdo. Some of these stories are so disgusting the fact that my son’s friends can’t like my pics without some ppl writing some weirdo st is crazy.”
Savannah was a lot more ceremonial and polished when speaking about them:
“With everything going on in the world right now, this is the shit y’all talking about. At the end of the day y’all are talking about a minor. I don’t care what type of ‘celebrity’ y’all think he is, he’s a child and the bullshit needs to stop. Y’all got the right one.”

LeBron James played the part of the tough suburban dad, writing the following on his Instagram story:
“Uh-oh y’all fucked with the wrong one now! Good luck. It won’t be cute!”
