Miami Heat star LeBron James asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit by a man alleging to be his father, TMZ reported Tuesday.

Leicester Bryce Stovell claimed that as a 29-year-old, he had a one-night stand with James’s mother when she was 15.

Stovell filed a $4 million lawsuit in Ohio against LeBron and Gloria James, claiming fraud and defamation.

But according to legal documents submitted on behalf of the 25-year-old basketball star, DNA tests prove "0% probability of paternity" by Stovell.

Gloria James has publicly identified her son’s biological father as convicted felon Anthony McClelland.

She told ESPN magazine in 2002 that McClelland was a “casual sex partner” and a father that never checked in.
