Delonte West kept his mouth shut after a firestorm of rumors emerged after their loss to Boston in the playoffs that West was bangin’ Bron’s mother. Here’s what Delonte had to say about the matter:
His Celtics homecoming seemed to bring some peace to Delonte West, so much so that yesterday during media day he was smiling, which was a rarity last season in Cleveland. Reporters were told only to ask questions pertaining to basketball, squeezing much of the anticipation from West’s first interview in more than a year.
But then a reporter from a local radio station asked West the question that basketball fans, entertainment buffs, gossip columnists, and the entire Northeast Ohio region had been wondering about since the Cavaliers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs last May.
Did West have an intimate relationship with Gloria James, the mother of two-time Most Valuable Player and former teammate LeBron James?
Before a frantic team official could intervene, undoubtedly fearing West might react with four-letter words, or perhaps clam up altogether, as he did last season, West took a deep breath, stared the reporter in the eye, and addressed whether the rumors were true.
“Not at all,’’ he said. “I come from an era where you don’t say nothing bad about someone’s parent, so not at all.’’
MontMcLovin- Sounds like he’s hiding something.
