YAYsports! is actually William Wesley

The always formidable TrueHoop is blogging about the mysterious William Wesley. The alleged confidant to LeBron James, Larry Brown, and many others seemingly hovers around the NBA, pulling strings, moving chess pieces, and various other cliches related to “masterminding”.

The real story? Nobody really knows anything about him, except that his name sounds like he might have signed the United States Constitution over (insert number of years since country was founded here – we flunked out of college) years ago.

Canzano chatted with “Worldwide Wes” again over the weekend, when he was in Portland to see the Portland-Detroit game. On his blog, Canzano tells what they talked about.

Damon Stoudamire and T.J. Ford told me over the summer that, “Wes is running the NBA.” And Wes mentioned that he’ll be back in Portland on Nov. 19 with a friend when Floyd Mayweather, the WBC super-lightweight champion, faces Sharmba Mitchell in a 12-round welterweight bout.

Who’s the friend?

Try Michael Jordan.

The Detroit News spent six weeks investigating Wes, and all they could find was a speeding ticket and some ties to a mortgage company. There is a lot we don’t know about the NBA.

Six months of research by the DN + another 1.5 minutes by us = NOTHING. That being the case, we’re coming out right now to say that we are William Wesley. There’s really nobody who can disprove it, and we’re laying claim. Now send us some free shoes and tickets and girls. (Women are okay, too.)
