Lebron’s Mom Arrested for DWI

According to ESPN.com Lebron James’ mother Gloria was arrested for DWI and was unruly during her arrest.

I know that DWI happens to a lot of people, but that isn’t really the story here. The story to me is that she allegedly kicked out the window of the vehicle after being placed under arrest. This is not the kind of behavior that just isn’t normal.

Hopefully this will not act as a distraction to Lebron while he tries to get the Cavaliers back into the playoffs for the first time since 1998. It will be one of the first tests of Lebron’s focus as one of the premier players in the NBA. Judging by his first comment there might not be too much to worry about with Lebron as he handled his statement with as much honesty and professionalism as he has with every other opportunity to speak to the media since he has been drafted.

If his performance Saturday night is representative of Lebron’s focus, then Cavs fans don’t have much to worry about. James scored 51 points on 19 - 35 shooting including 4 - 8 from three-point land as the Cavaliers beat the Utah Jazz 108 - 90.

    I am reminded of a high school scrimmage in which LeBron’s mom ran out onto the court enraged that a player on the other team had knocked down her son. Think she’s got an anger control problem?
