LeBron James Was Sued For $4M By A Man Who Claimed To Be His Father!
Leicester Bryce Stovell made the news after he claimed to be the Lakers Legend LeBron James’ Father
LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria James.
Gloria James had LeBron James when she was only 16 years old, and raised him by herself.
Stovell, who is also an attorney himself, claims that he is LeBron's father & recalls Gloria informing him that she was pregnant.
Apparently, Stovell made this incredible statement:
“Well if he's mine, make sure he plays basketball."
Stovell says he contacted Gloria much later in 2007. By then, LeBron James had already played a few seasons in NBA.
According to Stovell, Gloria told him she doesn’t know him & asserted that he’ll be “physically harmed” if he persists.
Later LeBron takes the DNA test, however, Stovell doesn’t get the result he hoped for.
Claiming foul play, he sued LeBron James for $4M.
But ends up with nothing.
In an unrelated matter, he was also disbarred for foul-play, indicating he might have been just looking for a big payday.
Speculations aside, Stovell much later just said that the matter has been resolved. He is not a part of the King’s life.
