Statutory Rapist Says He’s LeBron’s Father in Lawsuit
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By Samuel Newhouse
This story about a suit brought by someone claiming to be LeBron James' biological father takes a detour to blame Atlantic Yards opponents for James' decision to play for Miami.
James disappointed New Yorkers last week when he decided to go to Miami Heat instead of to the Knicks or Nets.
Some commentators believed that James would have picked the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets if the construction of the team’s arena hadn’t been stalled for years by Atlantic Yards lawsuits opposing the use of eminent domain to seize and demolish property on the construction site at Atlantic and Flatbush avenues.
NoLandGrab: This commentator believes that James might have picked the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets if the team didn't have a 12-70 record last season.
