Delonte West Denies Sleeping With Former Teammate LeBron James' Mother

Dallas Mavericks player Delonte West has denied that he was sleeping with his former teammate LeBron James' mother.

The shocking claims were made in 2010 when the boys were still on the same team, alleging that Delonte had slept with LeBron's mother Gloria.

Following the allegations, LeBron suddenly moved from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat, but he never publicly stated the rumours as the reason for the split.

While Delonte initially remained silent on the rumours, he has now revealed the effect it has had on personal life and career.

"It's affected me," Delonte said on the Mavericks' blog. "Everywhere I go, first question, 'Don't tell me you did that.'"

If we want to continue to grow as a human race, what are we teaching our kids if we try to make humor and fun out of stuff like that? Number one, something like that never happened. I don't know where they got that from."

"For a strong black woman like that, for people to try to tear her down, that's terrible. That's terrible in so many ways."

Do you still think Delonte was fooling around with Gloria? Did you ever believe the rumours?
