Old Tweet Of Talen Horton-Tucker In Which He Calls Delonte West LeBron James’ Father Surfaces

Lakers sophomore Talen Horton-Tucker has been raising eyebrows in this offseason with his stellar play.

The youngest American to ever win an NBA championship, recorded 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in his first preseason game, followed it up with a scorching 33-point game to go along with 10 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 assists in the second game and remained hot last night with 18 points, five rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes against the Phoenix Suns.

Even LeBron James was in awe and praised the young guard, tweeting out “telling you right now! This kid is flat out SPECIAL! Mark my words.”

But with his new and increased fame, Horton-Tucker now also gets a glimpse of the negative side of this business – people trying to look for mistakes, digging up old stories. With that being said, THT got a reminder that the internet never forgets when an old tweet of his surfaced in which he jokingly called Delonte West and LeBron James a father-son duo of the NBA, in wake of the long standing rumor of Delonte West sleeping with LeBron’s mother.

Just when everything was going perfectly… Then again, if you have to go back five years to find this tiny little peace of ‘dirt’, makes you think Talen will be alright.
