Well, folks, you might’ve heard the wild gossip floating around about Delonte West and LeBron James’ mama, Gloria. Now, I ain’t one to gossip, but I reckon we oughta talk about it, ’cause it’s been one of them stories that just won’t die down. It’s been a long time since these rumors started, and you know how these things go—people just love to whisper and spread stuff around, even if it ain’t true.
Now, let me tell ya, back in the day, when LeBron was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Delonte West was also on the team, there were all kinds of folks runnin’ their mouths sayin’ that Delonte and Gloria got up to some things they shouldn’t have. You know, like all those rumors where folks say, “I heard so-and-so did this or that,” but ain’t nobody got no proof, just talkin’ out the side of their mouths.
The story goes somethin’ like this: back in 2010, the gossip started when some sports blog called “Terez Owens” put it out there that Delonte and Gloria had a thing goin’. Well, that got people’s tongues waggin’, and it spread like wildfire. But ya know, some things just ain’t meant to be true, even though they keep stirrin’ the pot.

Now, Delonte West, he done come out years later and talked about all them rumors, tryin’ to clear the air. He said, straight up, that there ain’t no truth to it, that he never had no relationship with Gloria. He even gave an interview where he sorta, kinda, mentioned it, but didn’t go into too much detail. You can’t blame the man for not wantin’ to talk too much about it, after all that gossip.
But here’s the thing—these rumors had already taken off, and once the gossip mill gets goin’, it’s hard to stop it. People kept talkin’, and even though Delonte tried to shut it down, the stories kept poppin’ up all over the place. And I’m sure LeBron wasn’t too happy hearin’ all this talk about his mama, especially when it didn’t sound like nothin’ but a bunch of lies.
Now, what I don’t get is why folks kept pushin’ this story for so long. I mean, there’s all kinds of real news out there in the world, and yet folks still wanna keep goin’ on about this one. It was one of them rumors that kept reappearin’, like an old cat you keep tryin’ to get rid of but it keeps comin’ back. Even people like John Salley, a former NBA player, had to step in and try to set the record straight, sayin’ that it wasn’t true. But still, people don’t wanna let go of it.
To this day, the whole thing still pops up in conversations. You see, in the world of sports, rumors can stick around like gum on your shoe. And, while we might never know the whole truth, it sure makes for some interesting gossip, don’t it? I reckon some folks just don’t have nothin’ better to talk about than other people’s business. But let me tell ya, I’ve seen how that gossip goes, and it’s like throwin’ mud at a wall—sometimes it sticks, sometimes it don’t, and eventually, you just got a mess to clean up.
So, what’s the real deal here? Well, it seems like all this talk about Delonte and Gloria might just be that—talk. Ain’t no evidence to back it up, and both Delonte and LeBron have denied it. But the fact that it kept goin’ for so long just shows how powerful rumors can be when they get their claws in. People get curious, they get invested, and before you know it, what was just a little whisper turns into a full-blown story.
At the end of the day, I reckon it don’t matter much if it’s true or not. What matters is that people keep talkin’, and that’s just how the world works. If you don’t believe the rumors, that’s fine, but if you do, well, then you’re part of the cycle, ain’t ya?

One thing’s for sure, though—LeBron James and his mama, Gloria, they’ve been through a lot together. LeBron’s always said that his mama was a big part of his success, and they’ve got a strong bond. Ain’t nobody gonna take that away from ‘em, no matter how much folks try to stir up trouble.
So, while I can’t tell you for sure if Delonte West ever had any dealings with LeBron’s mama, what I can tell you is that sometimes, gossip’s just that—gossip. And sometimes, it’s better to just leave things be, ‘cause folks will talk, no matter what you do.
