LeBron James in 2007. Photograph from PatrickMcMullan.com It seems like the tabloid gods have reached a consensus that, somehow, someway, LeBron James will be brought down to a level only slightly above the purgatory where Tiger Woods currently resides. (The sports pages, as I wrote yesterday, are obsessed in a different way.) First, a sports blog named Terez Owens reported on Friday that James caught his mom engaged in some sort of inappropriate behavior with one of his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates before last week's crucial elimination game against Boston. Then TMZ reported that a lawyer for the parties involved sent the site a cease-and-desist letter that referred to the rumor as "false" and "defamatory." And now Perez Hilton is linking to the story. (Terez Owens stands by its story.) There's no evidence for the rumor, but like Elena Kagan's sexual orientation, it's a pretty good test drive of the Internet gossip machine.
