Bronny James attended his 2023 prom this past week and the photos from the event caused something of a stir online.
Bronny, the eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, is one of the top high school basketball players in the nation.
A couple of weeks ago he committed to USC as the institution where he will play college ball, but this week he still had some unfinished high school business: prom.
In a series of now-viral posts, Bronny can be seen having a great time with his date Peyton Gelfuso.
The photos from the event speak for themselves.

Bronny and Peyton obviously have a long and complicated history.
As usual, fans had a lot to say about Bronny’s choice of girlfriend and his attire. They didn’t waste any time flooding social media with their hot takes.

Bronny’s love life has been a frequent topic of conversation. Between his links to one of the most popular OF models around and his purported one-time relationship with an IG model, fans can’t get enough of speculating about his romances.
This week’s prom photos going viral and the subsequent reactions to them are just par for the course.
Big picture, this comes with the territory. LeBron knows better than anyone how nuts it can get. Even his encounters with female fans sitting courtside are over-scrutinized to no end.
Bronny should be allowed to live a normal teen life.

But unfortunately, he will never be able to.
That is just the nature of how these things go.
What Bronny ultimately go viral for next? Time will tell.
