Rumor Central: Did LeBron James Leave Cleveland Because of Delonte West?
Some of you may know there has been a rumor circulating that during the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the Boston Celtics, LeBron’s teammate, Delonte West, had an affair with James’ mother.
Rumor has it that LeBron’s performance was affected because his teammate was sleeping with his mom. LeBron was widely criticized for his lackluster performances against the Celtics, which ultimately led to Cleveland’s playoff demise.
So let’s say it: LeBron wanted out of Cleveland because of Delonte West. Delonte West is to blame for destroying the Cavaliers and forever cursing the city of Cleveland.
But why didn’t LeBron go to New York City instead of Miami? New York City is the capital of the world. It is a place where big names get bigger. LeBron chose Miami because he didn’t want this “rumor” to follow him to a place like New York City, where the media would crush him. Even though he ruined his image by going to Miami, he will forever have the memory of West and his mom in bed together.
