LeBron James Contimues to Fight Man's Paternity Claim

This week, it has been revealed that LeBron James wants a court to be dismissed over a lawsuit that was filed by a man who claims to be his biological father.

According to celebrity news site, TMZ, Leicester Bryce Stovell filed a $4 million lawsuit against the NBA player and his mother, Gloria James.  In his lawsuit, Stovell claimed fraud and defamation.

Attorneys for Gloria and her son have asked that a judge dismissed the lawsuit.  They have labeled it as "rank and speculation."  According to legal documents that were obtained by the news site, LeBron's attorneys scoffed at "a man who claims that as a twenty-nine year old lawyer he got a 15-year old girl pregnant during a one-night stand and who never contributed a penny in child support would earn millions in commercial endorsements by crawling out of the wood-work after the child he never gave a thought to became an NBA star."

The new legal documents also state that the results of a DNA test show "0% probability of paternity."
