Who is Anthony Mcclelland, the biological father of LeBron James
Anthony McClelland, the biological father of LeBron James, was apparent by his absence. LeBron James’ childhood was spent without McClelland, who has been away for the majority of it.
Gloria James and Anthony McClelland reportedly had a casual connection at the time when Gloria became pregnant with LeBron at the age of 16. McClelland was not present when LeBron was born, and Gloria raised LeBron alone.
LeBron and his father are still apparently not close, and it is unknown whether he has ever met Anthony McClelland. According to reports, McClelland spent time in and out of jail but attempted to get in touch with LeBron in 2002 but James turned him down.
Anthony McClelland was born on 23rd November 1972 in Akron, Ohio, United States of America, and is 50 years old as of 2023 with his height at 6 feet 7 inches.
McClelland also impregnated another woman who gave birth to LeBron’s half-brother Aaron McClelland Gamble. McClelland ended up leaving the woman and his second son. He is said to be alive today but his whereabouts are not known.
Bryce Stovell claimed to be LeBron’s father but was proven false
LeBron’s alleged true father, Leicester Bryce Stovell, is one of the alleged individuals who have made that claim in the past. But it was allegedly found that these were untrue.
Another rumour claims that Roland Bivins, a man who was allegedly shot and killed when LeBron was eight years old, is the father of LeBron James.
However, these rumours are unconfirmed and remain internet rumours. Some have even claimed that McClelland is Bivens. A supposedly alleged McClelland photo has already circulated on social media, but its authenticity is unknown.
Despite being an only child, Aaron McClelland Gamble is said to be LeBron’s half-brother by certain sources.
A message by LeBron to his father
It goes without saying that LeBron has succeeded enough without a father in his life. In 2014, he thanked his father on Instagram for being absent from his life.
Like, ‘Wow, Dad, you know what, I don’t know you, I have no idea who you are, but because of you is part of the reason who I am today.”
