"....So, I have been waiting for some time now to wait for the denial of the rumor of the weekend. Yes, the rumor that Delonte West and Lebron’s mother Gloria James have a thing going on. But, the weekend came and left and there was no statement, no denial and no comment.

And then I got additional “information” from one of my sources. Dude said this IS TRUE. And, people in those circles have known it for some time. They simply didn’t include LeBron in on it so it wouldn’t upset him. Some people are saying this, even though we don’t know for certain. Sheeeesh…where is the statement…lets end this fiasco! If Gloria James messed around with Delonte West, Cleveland could be the biggest loser."

Do you think this rumor is true?

Michael Jordan's Basketball 2009 Hall of Fame Footage

The striking thing about Michael Jordan's speech is the intensity he still showed going into the Hall of Fame.

He kept using the phrase "Wood to the Fire" to tell everyone what events propelled him into the becoming the greatest NBA player of his generation, if not of all time.

Being that I'm in Akron, Ohi, I see this same type of intensity and confidence when I hear Cleveland Cav's Lebron James speaks.

To be the best in anything, you have to have an unwavering belief in yourself in the the good times and the bad.

MJ's belief in his self, solid coaching from Phil Jackson (& Tex Winter) and sheer will to push his teammates to their max potential is what propelled the Chicago Bulls to six championships.
