Chandler Parsons was unable to attend the prom of one of his fans, but he still did his best to make the young girl’s day.
A girl named Stephanie Flores, who appears to be a huge Houston sports fan, tweeted to the Rockets forward on May 20 to ask him to her prom.
@chandlerparsons pleaseeee make my life and escort me to my prom on May 31st!!! A simple response would make up for it. I am a huge fan!!!

Flores then enlisted her friends to bombard Parsons with tweets on her behalf to ensure he would see the prom request.
Twitter fam yall should help me out to get Parsons to go to prom with me!! Or at least notice me! I would love yall forever! :) lol
— Stephanie Flores (@steph_marie03) May 20, 2013
After at least 15 of her friends sent tweets to the second-year player, she got a response:
Thanks for the invite @steph_marie03. Unfortunately I’m not in Houston. I hope you have a great time!! Be safe.

Just getting a response from Parsons was enough to make the girl’s day:
@chandlerparsons You responding back means everything! Thanks so much! Go Rockets!
— Stephanie Flores (@steph_marie03) May 21, 2013
CHANDLER PARSONS RESPONDED TO ME!!! AHHHHH!!! :D

Since Parsons had already done well by responding to his fan, he could have left things as is and still been ahead of the game. But he decided to go the extra mile to make Flores’ prom special.
A Rockets employee contacted Flores to get her information, and Parsons ordered a party bus for her and her friends.
Big thanks to @houstonrockets @chandlerparsons for this party bus! You made my prom even more special! :) @traceynba twitter.com/steph_marie03/…

Yup, that’s Flores posing in front of the party bus with a Rockets towel and foam finger:

And here everyone was thinking that Parsons wasn’t fan-friendly because of this video. He sure proved everyone wrong.
What an awesome gesture by Parsons. And what is it about Houston athletes treating their fans so well?
