Before the fourth match of the 2011 NBA playoff series against the Boston Celtics, the number one NBA superstar discovered that his mother, Gloria Marie James, was having an affair with Celtics defender Delonte West.

A year ago, James and West were teammates at the Cleveland Cavaliers before one went to the Miami Heat and the other to the Boston Celtics. The fact that James played extremely poorly in that match made many people believe that his mother’s “airplane pilot” love story was real.

In 2014, after leaving the NBA to travel to China, Delonte West publicly told the truth: “Yes, I had sex with LeBron James’ mother. Of course I deserved to be judged, even accused, for secretly doing it behind my wife’s back.

Of course I deserved to be judged, even accused, for secretly doing it behind my wife’s back. That’s also the reason I don’t want to name my son Delonte West Junior. I don’t want him to go to school later and get questions like did your dad sleep with LeBron James’ mom. Anyway, I think I need to tell the truth for once.”
