One other thing. A national NBA reporter told me he’d heard—but had never been able to confirm—that the Delonte-Gloria muck had been the brainchild of LeBron’s manager and partner, Maverick Carter. I dismissed that as ludicrous, until one day during last season’s Finals, when I heard Chris Broussard and Stephen A. Smith—two of Mav Carter’s go-to guys—on ESPN2 talking about off-court issues hurting LeBron’s play. It was just that vague until later that day, when the intertubes began to fill with stories about a dalliance between Savannah Brinson, the mother of LeBron’s two sons, and Rashard Lewis.

| — | Actually an interesting piece on Cleveland’s inability to cover Delonte West’s struggle with his bipolar condition. As well as a nice hatchet swing at LeBron. What I quote above is unconfirmed, but there did seem to be a pattern. Also I think we can all agree that at times LeBron’s management is moronic. All pointless given the strike, at present. But still an interesting read. |
