The Rumor........Gets More ....Interesting....

LeBron's......Mom.......and .....Delonte West?

From ....."The Young, Black, & Fabulous":

Hall Of Famer CONFRIMS Delonte West Is Tapping Lebron's Mama?!



After Lebron and Gloria James' lawyer issued a cease and desist letter for sites posting that Glo and Bron's teamate Delonte West are getting it in, someone else has confirmed it.  NBA Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy is a correspondent on ESPN radio, and yesterday, he went in about the situation--and confirmed that the story, despite the denials, is indeed true.

We've got his audio and more details about the affair when you read on...



Calvin said Lebron was hurt because everyone knew about the relationship but him.  And get this: Calvin also revealed that Mr. West wasn't the only teammate of Bron Bron's that was tappin' Mom Dukes.  Oh snap!  Calvin said:
It ain’t no rumor.  It's absolutely true and absolutely...horrifying. Unfortunately, my sources in the NBA tell me that it’s absolutely true. My sources, and they’re legit, tell me that the only people that didn’t know it was happening was LeBron and ME.”
Peep the audio below:

Hump Day.....News & Views

If it's Wednesday.......It must be "Hump Day".

And if it's "Hump Day".......

We have a few views........on the news.


Is this Magic?   Or ....Are the Celtics for real?



  It's only "pot" ....Why all the fuss?   Seriously....we never heard of this guy....until today:
Knicks' Chandler ticketed for pot
NEW YORK, May 19 (UPI) -- The New York Knicks' Wilson Chandler was ticketed for allegedly holding a small amount of pot after being pulled over in a traffic stop, police said Wednesday. The New York Post reports the 23-year-old forward was given a desk appearance ticket for the misdemeanor charge after police searched his car in the Queens borough Tuesday night. The search took place after officers allegedly smelled marijuana coming from Chandler's Mercedes Benz, the newspaper said.


The Braves......finally beat the Mets:
ATLANTA, May 18 (UPI) -- Pinch-runner Brent Clevlen scored the game-winning run on David Wright's throwing error Tuesday, giving the Atlanta Braves a 3-2 win over the New York Mets.


Draft Lottery 2010:
NEW YORK, May 19 (UPI) -- The Washington Wizards won the top selection in the 2010 NBA Draft and are expected to take Kentucky freshman John Wall or Ohio State's Evan Turner.
 
 
Old white men...& Corvettes....&  ex-NASCAR driver......don't mix:
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., May 19 (UPI) -- Former professional race car driver James Neal has pleaded guilty to reckless driving for leading police on a 140 mph chase in California, authorities say.
 
Congrats.....Uconn women:
 
President Obama welcomes the 2010 NCAA champion University of Connecticut women's basketball team in Washington DC.



Have a great........."Hump Day"!

A Real "Team" Mom?

Somehow......we missed this on the rumor mill hot-line.

LeBron James'......mom......sleeping with a fellow team-mate?   

Well......you know she had LeBron......at age 16....putting her in her late 30's now.

And.....well.....boys will be boys....So it makes sense to us.

Of course........King James and family.......and lawyers.....see it differently:

LeBron's Lawyer: Mom Not Scoring with Teammate

LeBron James' attorney has fired off a cease and desist email -- finally denying the fast-spreading, and disturbing rumor of a sex scandal involving LeBron's mom and his teammate Delonte West.



TMZ obtained a copy of the email sent to terezowens.com -- the sports blog that first reported on Friday that LeBron's mother Gloria was allegedly sleeping with Delonte.  In the email, Frederick Nance -- attorney for LeBron and Gloria -- says the report is "categorically false and per se defamatory."   Nance adds, "No thinking person could possibly believe such rubbish."

The report -- which also spread as a viral email -- was supposed to explain the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff loss to the Boston Celtics with this theory: LeBron finds out about Delonte and his mom before game 4 ... Cavs go on to lose games 4, 5, and 6 (and possibly LeBron).

The guys at terezowens tell us, "We think it's a little fishy that they waited almost 4 days to fire this off."  They say they stand by their source, and they're consulting with their lawyers.  The story is still up on their site ... for now.

UPDATE: We also spoke to Keith Estabrook -- a spokesman for the James family -- who told us, "I will not dignify this with a comment."

The Apocalypse is.... Here....& .....Here's proof

Cleveland, Ohio.....

You.......are doing all this .......for a ....basketball player?   LeBron James?  A LeBron James...with zero.......NBA title rings?

And you wonder why your city is falling apart......and the citizens are moving south.

Cleveland, Ohio?


Wake up......get a life.

This video is so......you:




We Are LeBron Video - Watch more Funny Videos

Things....Learned....From the Week-end .....that was...

In this small,  southern,  college town.......

Summertime....is here.   Afternoon thundershowers.....temperatures in the low 90's......humidity up near 100%.......and the flies.....oh the flies.

And it is still only the middle of May.   Summer does not officially arrive until June 21.   Go figure.

Monday asks that question.   Are we smarter today?  Did we learn .....anything?   From the Weekend?

Well........here's what we at 5 on Five learned......with the help of a few of our friends:


The Atlanta Braves.......are not as bad........as we thought they were:

Atlanta Braves (18-19)

Last game: May 16, Atlanta Braves 13 - Arizona Diamondbacks 1 
Next game: vs. New York Mets, May 17 7:10pm ET 
www.braves.com
 
 The Bravos took 2 of 3 from Arizona and have now won 10 out of their last 15 games. 



The Boston Celtics........maybe old......they maybe tired.....but ......they could....beat the Magic:

Boston Celtics (50-32)

Last game: May 16, Boston Celtics 92 - Orlando Magic 88 
Next game: @ Orlando Magic, May 18 8:30pm ET 
www.nba.com
 
 
 
 
 
Things......I think ...I think:
 
The NBA Play-offs......lasts way....too long.
6eVoice.....and GaPeach913  (bro & sis).......just got back from a 7 day  cruise...with their significant others.......I am a bit .....jealous.
 
My daughter,  Madison....has 2 more days of teaching school.....before her summer vacation....again....I am a bit ......jealous.
 
I just don't ......have the energy ...or time.....to mow my own lawn anymore.
Why do 18 wheelers.......continue to get in the fast lane...attempting to pass....and can only get up to 65 mph?

So.......it's a Monday......Are you smarter?
