What takes place off the basketball court affects what takes place on the basketball court. I recently came across a report that appeared on Dante West’s website and as of this writing, not a whole lot has been mentioned about it in the media. If true, it would certainly explain Lebron James’ sub-par performance immediately after game four with the Celtics. Here’s what Dante West wrote:  ”Gloria James, LeBron James’ mom reportedly sleeping with one of LeBron’s teammates and friend, Delonte West. Reports say that LeBron found out about the affair prior to the Celtics’ Game Four match-up against the Boston Celtics in their recently concluded playoff series. LeBron James’ suddenly diminished play from Game 4 on was the result of his being upset about the relationship between his mother and his teammate. Delonte West has had a number of off the court issues in the past; his lifestyle has hardly been beyond reproach. For LeBron James, who has led a seemingly scandal free existence, that fact would likely be particularly difficult to take.”
