Anthony McClelland is often speculated to be the biological father of basketball superstar LeBron James, though this claim remains unproven. There is limited verified information about McClelland's age or detailed background. He is believed to have been involved with Gloria James, LeBron’s mother, in the early 1980s when LeBron was born. However, McClelland was not involved in LeBron’s life, and reports suggest he had a history of criminal behavior, leading to his absence during LeBron’s upbringing.
Given that LeBron James was born in 1984, and if McClelland was close in age to Gloria (born in 1968), he would likely be in his mid-50s as of 2024. Despite the media interest, LeBron himself has never publicly acknowledged McClelland as his father, and much of McClelland's life remains shrouded in mystery. This has led to ongoing speculation but little concrete insight.
