You've probably heard the news by now, but Rashard Lewis signed a 2-year, $2.8 million deal with the Miami Heat, joining an evil empire that just snagged Ray Allen and will be the prohibitive favorite to win next year's NBA title. Remember that time the Orlando Magic gave Lewis a 24-year, $598 million contract (numbers approximate)? Those days are long gone.
But in the not-so-distant past, a time long after Lewis had signed the deal and subsequently underperformed, was suspended for doping, and was traded to the dregs of the NBA (Washington), a rumor cropped up, a glorious, unconfirmed rumor that SportsOlogy rode to the top of the internet. We're talking about the rumor that LeBron was distracted during the 2011 Finals because Rashard Lewis had definitely, probably, maybe, could have had sex with LeBron James' girlfriend.
If that HAD happened, though, don't you think Miami would have been more apprehensive about signing Lewis, especially given the fact that he, you know, sucks? In other words, this signing pretty definitively puts the nail in that rumor's coffin.
...or DOES IT???
