Andre Drummond is one of the more social media-friendly players in the NBA, as he’s constantly interacting with fans and answering questions. With Drummond’s affable online personality in mind, a Pistons fan slid into Drummond’s DMs with a mighty request.

Michigan native Raquell Smith came up a few retweets shy of her goal, but Drummond isn’t the kind of guy to sweat a few numbers. Drummond and Raquell showed up at the West Broomfield School District prom in a white Porsche with impeccable style.
The WBHS prom is so amazing even Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons showed up. #OnlyWB pic.twitter.com/cdHTPqszGR

Drummond stayed at the event for a couple hours, taking pictures with students and taking a bunch of fun pictures with his date.
