ESPN told NOT to talk about LeBron’s Moms fling with Delonte West
Written by playerpress.com, Thursday July 08 2010
Back in May, there were rumors surfacing that claimed Gloria James, LeBron’s mother was doing the hokey pokey with James teammate Delonte West during the playoffs.
The rumors started because Gloria was seen hanging out with West on the night of his MVP party. In addition, after game three of the playoffs, Lebron hit the town with Jay Z and Beyonce, and left his mom at the hotel. Delonte West apparently decided to stay at the hotel for one reason or another.
LeBron returned to the hotel at 3:30 in the morning after a night out on the town, goes up to his mom’s hotel room to check up on her, and West answers the door in nothing but a towel. Other players on the team witnessed West in his towel as well.
As hot as the rumors started, they stopped and nothing else was said again, just about anywhere, TV, newspapers, magazines, or on internet news outlets.
Surprisingly, ESPN did not cover the story at all, and it has been revealed that they were told NOT to cover the story and all of their employees were instructed not to speak the Gloria James Delonte West rumors.
They have once again been told not to bring it up on tonight’s LeBron announcement special on ESPN. They have flatly been told not to talk about it, mention it in any way, or even hint at it at all during the one hour special.
Apparently, according to ESPN’s Colin Cowerd, the whole Lebron’s mother situation has possibly influenced his decision on where to play basketball this upcoming season, and that as a favor to LeBron, the New York Post decided not to run the story.
When the story first broke in May, Terez Owens, a DJ on The Sportswire on ESPN radio, received a cease and desist order from LeBrons lawyer trying to squash the story.
You have to listen to this video of Owens on the story. After listening, the only conclusion you can come to is that it was a big cover up.
Seems as if the James family is good at cover ups and hiding things.
