LeBron’s lawyer says Delonte West rumors aren’t true

By now, we are sure that you heard the rumors about Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West having sexual relations with LeBron James’ mother. As you can tell by the tone of our post on that one, we don’t believe this to be true.

Shockingly though, a ton of people actually believe that this actually occurred and that this is the reason for LeBron’s poor play in the NBA playoffs this year. Enough people believed it to the point where LeBron’s attorney sent the webmaster for TerezOwens.com (we guess that’s where it originated?)/

TMZ.com got a hold of the email and we pasted it below.

Mr. Owens. I am the attorney for Gloria and LeBron James. I am writing to demand that you Cease and Desist in repeating the lies you have been instrumental in spreading regarding Gloria James.

They are categorically false and per se defamatory. If you do not understand the legal significance of those facts, I strongly urge you to consult your legal counsel.

At first blush, your irresponsible speculation about what might have contributed to the Cavaliers performance in the Boston series was so idiotic and “off the wall” that we did not think that it even warranted a denial.

No thinking person could possibly believe such rubbish. But you have persisted in repeating this nonsense, attributing it to an unidentified source all for your own personal gain.

We demand that you immediately stop publishing or in any way repeating these false, despicable and per se defamatory statements.
