His response comes after social media was flooded with claims that Bronny James had become a father, largely fueled by @HoopsCrave, a parody account known for posting fake news.

There was no evidence to suggest the Lakers superstar’s son had become a father, and neither he nor his girlfriend Whitfield shared any announcement or indication to that effect.

All of HoopsCrave’s posts are clearly absurd, part of a growing trend that mimics the style of legitimate news posts. And few people still fall for it presents itself as a parody version of the media news company Pop Crave.

Bronny James’ and Parker Whitfield’s love continues to grow.

They marked their first anniversary on Aug. 1, with James posting an intimate picture celebrating their “anniversary dinner.”

On Sept. 2, for Whitfield’s 21st birthday, James melted her heart with a sweet Instagram tribute. A month later, Bronny turned 21, and Whitfield returned the love with a heartfelt tribute.

On the court, Bronny is having a much-improved year compared to his rookie season.

He looks every bit a player ready to take the next step in his journey. He has played 14 games, averaging 1.9 points, 1.5 assists and 0.6 rebounds while seeing 8.9 minutes of court time. Though the reality is a world away compared to who his dad is, but he is making his own mark in the league.
