Shes a strong black woman Delonte West denied all rumors of sleeping with LeBron James m

The idea that LeBron James‘ mother Gloria had an affair with her son’s former teammate Delonte West has perhaps lasted longer than any other sports rumor. T he allegations persisted for so long and West himself had made the decision to rectify the situation and deny those claims.

In the 2004 NBA Draft, Delonte West, a former third-team All-American in college basketball, was drafted. West played in the NBA for eight seasons along with stars like Paul Pierce, Lebron James, and Dirk Nowitzki, his latest stint coming in 2012 while playing point guard for the Dallas Mavericks. Although West was a success on the court, his personal life was terrible, and he battled in silence. Over the past few years, he has seen many highs and lows, including homelessness and support from some of the NBA’s best players. West, who is presently engaged at a rehab centre, was embroiled in a scandal when playing for the Cavaliers because he was involved with LeBron James’ mother Gloria.

Delonte West and his short NBA stint

Delonte West was chosen by the Boston Celtics with the 24th overall pick in the first round of the draught, and he played for them for three seasons before switching to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He played with the Cavaliers and James before to being traded back to the Celtics in 2010. West averaged 9.7 points per game over the course of his nine-year career while shooting 44.8 percent from the floor. After playing with the Cavaliers, West was traded to the Boston Celtics. Some rumors claim that Lebron James arranged the deal to get West out of the Cavaliers. He played with the Dallas Mavericks for another season before deciding to depart.

In his eight years playing in the NBA, Delonte West earned roughly $16 million, and according to Forbes, he only had $100,000 of that fortune left over in 2016. His current net worth is $1,000. In 2008, while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the former first-round pick prospect underwent bipolar disorder diagnosis. There have also been numerous instances of unexcused absences after the NBA finally cut ties with West in 2012. Additionally, while West was still active in the sport, he had a string of odd on- and off-court psychosocial outbursts and interactions with law enforcement, including a 10-game suspension in 2010.

West was alleged of sleeping with LeBron James’ mom

Delonte West and LeBron James had a contentious relationship since in 2010 as there were several reports that West was having an affair with James’ mother Gloria, which The King was reportedly not a fan of. LeBron discovered the knowledge before Game Four of the Conference Finals matchup against the Celtics, which broke their unity and caused discontent. West was moved to the Boston Celtics in 2011, despite his denial of the allegations. According to some accounts, James orchestrated the trade because he wanted to get West out of the Cavaliers. Before leaving the NBA, he played one more season with the Dallas Mavericks.

When West was approached with these allegations, he refuted them by stating: “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.” After James brought his talents to South Beach in Miami in 2011, the news has faded and was never spoken anymore.

The 38-year-old West was found shackled and stripped on the side of the road in January 2020. In October 2020, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban helped him check into a rehab centre to begin a “uphill struggle”. He appeared to be doing better, but in October he was supposedly imprisoned after a drunken altercation with the police. The fact that West recently admitted to having mental health concerns and oftentimes forgetting that he had played in the NBA makes his situation worse. Although West’s present situation is bad since he is no longer in the game, it is not too late for him to get up and make a change.
