At the heart of Team USA’s exhilarating comeback against Serbia in the men’s basketball semifinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, LeBron James’ son, Bronny, was there to witness the drama unfold. The 19-year-old watched in awe as his father and his all-star teammates clawed back from a 13-point deficit in the thrilling fourth quarter.
Amid the intense action on the court, eagle-eyed viewers spotted Bronny with a young woman, later identified as Parker Whitfield, daughter of actress Salli Richardson-Whitfield. While Bronny, a newly-drafted Laker, follows Parker on Instagram, her accounts are private, leaving much about her background and their connection shrouded in mystery.
The nature of their relationship remains unclear—whether they are close friends or something more—but their presence together certainly sparked curiosity among fans.

The four-time NBA champ’s eldest son recently admitted he’s faced challenges growing up in his dad’s shadow.
‘It’s tough,’ Bronny said in an interview with NBA Central before he was drafted by his father’s team.
‘A lot of criticism gets thrown my way, but you know, I’ve got to deal with it,’ he added.
‘[My critics] don’t know what I’ve been through … I just try to make the best of [the] opportunities that’s given to me.’
