Proud parents LeBron and Savannah James were seen beaming at their eldest son Bronny’s graduation on Thursday, where the 18-year-old’s girlfriend was mysteriously absent following days of racist online abuse.

Bronny was targeted by bigots on social media after photos from his senior prom surfaced, showing the future USC basketball player alongside his white date, 19-year-old Peyton Gelfuso.

Despite the vile attacks, Bronny ignored his critics on Thursday, as he walked across the stage in Chatsworth, California to receive his diploma.

LeBron and Savannah couldn’t hide their excitement. Coming off the Lakers’ season-ending loss to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, LeBron was seen grinning from ear to ear with his arms around Bronny and his other son, Bryce. Meanwhile Savannah, LeBron’s high school sweetheart, was seen doting on Bronny while adjusting his gown and sash.

The elder James commemorated the occasion on Instagram, telling Bronny to ‘continue to fly high.’

‘I wish you the most happiness and success in this next chapter of your young adult life.

‘Continue to spread your wings and soar to new heights. Love you very much, Grammy.’

The Team James family Instagram account also shared two videos of Bronny at the ceremony.

A member of the Sierra Canyon School’s Class of 2023, Bronny has already committed to playing basketball at USC next year, where he is projected to be among the top freshman players in the country.

The younger James was listed on 24/7sports.com as a five-star recruit, the fourth best prospect in California, the fifth best combo guard, and the 21st best prospect in the country.

Bronny received scholarship offers from USC, Memphis, and Ohio State while drawing interest from Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Oregon.

LeBron has previously stated his intention to play alongside his son in the NBA but made headlines this week as he hinted at retirement after the Lakers lost in the playoffs.
