Antonio Brown totally fell for a fake news post linking Larsa Pippen to Bronny James.
The former NFL wide receiver was duped by a tweet from the infamous NBACentel parody account, which mimics the popular NBACentral and fools people with funny, fake stories.
The account recently cited a “report” from TMZ Sports claiming Larsa has a crush on said NBA Draft prospect.
AB reacted to the post by calling Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife “The Thanos of Basketball.”

Antonio Brown Isn’t The First, Nor Will He Be The Last
Larsa Pippen controversially dated Marcus Jordan, the son of her ex-husband’s former teammate, for about a year. They were planning to get married but broke things off in March and are both single at the moment.
Elsewhere, Bronny James is gearing up for the NBA Draft and is expected to be a second-round pick, although the Phoenix Suns are rumored to be keen on taking him in the first round.
Bronny, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, had workouts with the Suns and his father’s team, the Los Lakers. One of those teams could draft him, but he does have interest from other franchises.
As for Antonio Brown, he’s hardly the first high-profile personality to be fooled by parody accounts. The likes of Draymond Green, Stephen A. Smith, and Kendrick Persons have also endured some embarrassment after reacting to fake posts in the past.
