Who is LeBron’s father?
Man claiming the title is now suing basketball star
NBA star LeBron James and his mother Gloria James are being sued for US$4 million by a man who claims to be LeBron’s biological father. In the lawsuit, 55-year-old Leicester Bryce Stovell claims he met Gloria in a D.C. area bar in 1984. They had unprotected sex that night, and he says LeBron is the fruit of those relations, but that Gloria has spent her life shielding LeBron from the truth. To make matters more interesting, Leicester—a high school star athlete—says he remembers telling Gloria, "Well, if he’s mine, make sure he plays basketball."
