Delonte West DENIES Sex With LeBron James' Mom

First Posted: 09/28/10 01:20 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 06:50 PM ET

Delonte West Lebron James Mom

Did Delonte West have sex with LeBron James' mom? A rumor that the two had a torrid and illicit affair broke out during the offseason. While there was no proof that the secret sex ever happened, it did not stop a Basketball Hall of Famer from saying that the speculation was "absolutely true."

A lawyer for James strongly denied the rumor, but the whispers were fueled when James, who always appeared to enjoy his Cavaliers teammates, coldly ditched Cleveland in what many saw as a heartless and cruel nationally televised insult.

Finally, LeBron's former teammate has been asked directly about the gossip. According to the Boston Globe, a reporter asked West if he slept with Gloria James.

"Not at all," West replied. "I come from an era where you don't say nothing bad about someone's parent, so not at all." West, now with the Celtics, is looking forward to playing with his new team. "There's a lot of excitement here," he said.

Quick Poll

Do you believe Delonte West?

Yes -- he clearly did not have sex with LeBron's mother.

No -- he is covering his tracks, and his reply leaves some wiggle room to hide the truth.

Good lord, who had to take a sabbatical from their job editing the junior high newspaper to write this whiny pile of .... ?

who is his mother going to date if she is Lebrons mother, single with money. It will have to be somebody close to her that is not seen as a trusting and not a threat.

Whether or not he did or did not is no one's business but theirs.

There's good reason why ESPN.com, SI.com and CBSSports.com hasn't run with this story--it sounds too ridiculous and legitimate news sources can't back up this story. Given the enormous amount of contacts in the NBA the likes of ESPN has, if they can prove this story it would have been on the front of the ESPN.com web page months ago.

If Lebron's mom doesn't show up in Boston, DeLonte is guilty. Everybody already knows it's true...but this reminds me of when Shaquille was caught smashing Gilbert's ex-fiancee. Shaq didn't even show up at the games Gilbert played in the situation was so messy. So the NBA behind closed doors has already talked to them about this I'm sure so as not to create a scene around Lebron. Like, really, who cares about Delonte? Sure wouldn't be David Stern...

So what if he did, what's the big deal? They are both two grown adults and do whomever they choose, they are single and have to answer to no one,,,

Ditto! Too many people try to judge according to their own insecurities and fears. As long as No minor is in volved, I don't see why not?

Well, except they were teammates. It's not exactly appropiate to sleep with the mother of one of your teammates.

They sleep with their teammate's sisters, nieces, cousins, friends. No one would have had a problem if an older man slept with a younger woman.

This is outta the box! It ain't news and the only benefit is some reporter gets some ink on a page. The real deal is that it is very hard for a grown man to visualize his mother all hot and sweaty and in the throes of exstacy!
