Delonte/LeBron Mom Thread (rumor?)

[TheOUTLAW]

referencing articles that are referencing the original article does not give it credibility. I would think that independent sources would be needed and that is not being supplied here. I would love to read a position paper by some of you guys. Everything would go back to the exact same source who put a question mark even on his own comment.

Unfortunately qouting a questionable source and referencing unverified info is what passes a journalism nowadays. Just watch the mainstream media today Outtie. Thats why I am outraged at this "story" and the people who will continue to push it forward.

Oh actually I understand the media since it is such a salacious story (such that it is). However, the people on here are posting the story from various sources as if they are confirming the story (which they are not). They are basically just repeating the initial rumor without verifying any sources. If they really wanted to know, they could ask. However, there has not been any report that anyone has inquired or been refused an interview.

Cant do that Outtie, the truth would most likely kill the story.

It would take a lot of balls from a member of the media to bring this up to Delonte or LeBron. A LOT of balls.

Anyway, I think this story is crap. Every board I've seen it on (check out the Bucks board) it's been started by someone with low post count, and there are replies minutes later from others with the same grammar, post count, etc..

(To clarify, nothing's wrong with a low post count, but I find it odd that so many newbies are right there on the story. And I mean no disrespect to RRT either, as more reading around shows me you actually post here. In fact, I'll just shut up now. But still, somethings fishy.)

As best as I've been able to determine, this rumor is false. I'm locking the thread. If any new information comes out that shows it's not false, I'll open it back up.
