While Bronny James seems to be enjoying his time in the NBA, he is still being subjected to a massive amount of hate from basketball fans everywhere. However, despite that, he is still finding time to send love to his girlfriend, Parker Whitfield, while he is out on the road. Bronny and Whitfield, who is the daughter of actors Dondre and Salli-Richardson Whitfield, have been together for a while now and things may be getting serious.
TMZ reports that Bronny James recently sent her a bouquet of flowers alongside a love note. This was, of course, during the Los Angeles Lakers’ long road trip to begin the NBA season. The letter read, “Your boyfriend loves you so much.” However, James Jr. could not deliver it in person because the Lakers were out of town. The 6’2 guard has clearly missed Parker Whitfield quite a lot lately. Not too long before this gift, Bronny posted a cute picture of the two on his Instagram story. However, some fans on Reddit believe that James Jr. “should probably focus more on not sucking.”
Bronny James Continues To Deal With Hate Amid His Relationship With Parker Whitfield
Since being drafted into the NBA by the Los Angeles Lakers, Bronny has continued to struggle on the offensive end like he did in college. However, the young man was able to secure his first NBA points in a blowout road loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Lakers have been struggling lately as they lost to a horrible Detroit Pistons team. Bronny has gotten his chances towards the end of games, but the rookie has yet to establish himself.
Bronny James is said to be sent down to the NBA’s G-league relatively soon, but until then, he and his father, LeBron James, continue to play together. The Lakers’ season opener saw the first time a father and son shared the court together in an NBA game. However, the hate was still there and seemingly will not go away any time soon. James Jr.’s relationship with Parker Whitfield has just given fans more ammunition to use against the young man.
Despite the constant hate, Bronny James has been able to keep his head down and keep his cool. LeBon has spoken about his son’s strong mental state many times. James Jr. is under immense pressure to be great. This is because his father is arguably the best basketball player of all time. Bronny seems content with his life at the moment. He is most likely just looking forward to getting home to Parker Whitfield as soon as possible.
