Is Anthony McClelland Really LeBron James’s Father?

According to reports, McClelland and Gloria Marie James started dating while in high school. While it has been revealed that the relationship was causal, Gloria got pregnant as a result of the friendship at the age of 16.

At that time, Anthony was known as Roland Bivens who was a basketball star. Bivens was later charged with arson and theft so he disappeared. At the time Gloria had James, nobody knew who his father was. However, there are other reports that claim Roland did not own up to fathering the NBA star because it was reported that he had died in a drive-by in 1994 when Lebron was already 8 years old.

There have been claims that Roland Bivens did not actually die but he allegedly changed his name to Anthony McClelland to avoid going to jail or had gone to jail several times.

When he was subsequently arrested for arson and theft in 2002, many believed that both McClelland and Bivens is the same person. Regardless of what people believe, the authorities are yet to verify if Anthony McClelland and Roland Bivens are the same people.

For this reason, LeBron James grew up without a father figure. As a result of that, Gloria struggled to raise the basketball star playing the role of both the father and mother. Her mother was initially helping her raise LeBron but unfortunately, she died when the star was three years leaving Gloria Marie to raise her two younger siblings in addition to LeBron.

Does Anthony McClelland Have Other Children?

Apparently, LeBron James is not the only child of his alleged father. He is the famous one. McClelland also had a relationship with another woman who he again left after she got pregnant. The pregnancy led to the birth of Aaron McClelland Gamble.

The similarity in the story of Aaron and LeBron is not only limited to the fact that their father impregnated their mother’s young and disappeared but also the fact that they were both born in the 1980s.

Besides that, McClelland’s two sons reportedly look very much like him. Due to the striking resemblance, no one would deny that the two are his sons and might be confused as twins even though they have different mothers.

In the same way that Anthony and LeBron do not have any relationship, Aaron and his father also do not have any. Also, the McClelland brothers have maintained their lives away from each other. They may all be related by blood but they do not consider each family.

There have been claims that Aaron once tried to reach out to LeBron but the NBA star did not get back to him. Aaron has also claimed that when he lost his mother to cancer, he reached out to King James for help but he allegedly did not acknowledge it.

Despite not having a smooth relationship, LeBron James has revealed that the absence of his father in his life helped him become the man he is. He decided to channel the negative energy he grew up with into something strong.

Other People Who Have Claimed to Be Lebron James’ Father

When it comes to discussing King James’ paternity, there have been people who have made claims to have fathered him. A lawyer, Leicester Bryce Stovell went as far as suing James for $4 million claiming he was his father. The lawyer claimed that he had a relationship with Gloria when he was 29 and Gloria was 15.

A DNA test would later prove that Bryce’s claims are not true but the lawyer insisted Gloria and LeBron tampered with the result.

Where is Anthony McClelland Now?

LeBron James’ father currently lives in Ohio, United States. While he has tried mending his relationship with his son, he has reportedly worked on himself as well. He has decided to stay out of the spotlight for personal reasons and so, the social media accounts in his name are reportedly fake accounts.

While LeBron James and his mother are yet to confirm that Anthony McClelland is actually the basketballer’s father, many still believe Anthony might be Roland who is believed to have impregnated young Gloria.

Despite not having a father around, LeBron James has turned out to be one of the best NBA players of all time. If really Roland was his father, basketball must be in the family’s DNA seeing that his two sons Bronny James and  Bryce are carrying on with the family’s legacy in basketball.
