NBA star, LeBron James dogged by baseless sex rumor

[HMG] – If you love sports and thought the Hollywood types had the patent on sexual high-jinks here’s a story you’ll like. Rumors are floating about LeBron James that are currently keeping legions of sports fans awake.

The rumors began last week when an unverified email began filling in-boxes all over the nation, claiming LeBron’s mother, Gloria was engaging in regular sexual encounters with his own team-mate, Delonte West.

“My uncle is the general contractor at the Q and has been for the last 7 years.” it reads. “I was just told from my brother that a very reliable source told my uncle that Delonte has been banging Gloria James for some time.”

And with unproven, third-hand information like that, who could dispute it? Well, actually…everyone.

One gullible site reported the rumor as fact – and promptly got slapped with a cease-and-desist letter from LeBron’s attorney, Frederick Nance, who told the Huff Post the email was “categorically false and defamatory. No thinking person could possibly believe such rubbish.”

The few fans who fell for the rumor then used it as grounds to explain the Cleveland Cavaliers getting crushed 94-85 by the Celtics last week, during which LeBron was only slightly more help than a zombie.

That got the attention of ex-Houston Rockets guard and renowned  Hall-of-Famer, Calvin Murphy, who did an interview on ESPN Radio’s ‘The Drive’ Wednesday night that promptly rekindled the fire;

“My sources in the NBA tell me it’s absolutely true,” he told the hosts. “My sources, and they’re legit, tell me the only people who didn’t know it was happening were LeBron and me.”

He also went on to claim that more than one guy was involved. LeBron must have been steaming.

The Celtics handed LeBron’s team their worst home-court loss in the franchise’s history. Lose two more games and the magical player who gave his home state its first pro-championship in 46 years could be dropped by the team.

All these rumors can’t be helping his game, but if he gets his head back together we’ll bring you the news…
