What is 'this'?
Because I don't really care whether or not Delonte West slept with Gloria and have absolutely no idea if it's true or not but mostly wouldn't even bother trying to figure out if I do believe it or not.
But did something happen between them that affected Lebron in the playoffs? Total and absolute bunk. I don't just disbelieve it - I think there's no one who's even come close to presenting any thing that would lend a shred of credence to the rumor. It doesn't explain Lebron playing bad in one game then good in one game then bad again. It doesn't explain why Delonte was still no the team. It doesn't explain why Lebron couldn't shoot. We've seen Lebron when he gets pissed (remember Bosh's girlfriend/cousin heckling him in Toronto?) so if he was angry there's no way he plays the way he did.
But people hear the rumor about them sleeping together and because It's crazy Delonte and crazy Gloria they decide if they believe it or not and THEN believe the rest based on it.
It's the same way any Internet rumor starts. Give one item that is true and then add a bunch of shit that isn't and people are trained to believe everything once they confirm one thing.
