In the spring of 2012, during his last stint in the NBA as a member of the Dallas Mavericks, Delonte West gave Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward a wet-willie. Well, it wasn't all that wet. More of a I'm-gonna-poke-this-gangly-white-boy-in-the-ear-because-that's-all-that-I-can-think-to-do-right-now Willie.The move was Delonte West in a nutshell: Weird, playful, and worthy of a technical foul. The Jazz broadcast team was appalled, to say the least.
The one-shot-and-the-ball good was actually a lighter moment for West who had seen his reputation destroyed in the NBA -- ask Jeeves about Delonte's relationship with LeBron's mom -- and once faced serious jail time after being pulled over while driving an ATV in Maryland (as one does). The officers on the scene quickly found the cache of firearms on his person, including a shotgun that was hidden in a guitar case that has become something of a legend itself.
West kept mum on the issue for two years before revealing to SLAM Magazine in 2011 that he was under the influence of Seroquel at the time -- a drug he was taking to treat his bipolar disorder -- and was moving the guns to another house he owned nearby after his mother expressed concern about his friends gaining access to the guns and not treating them like guns. Friends suck sometimes.
West became an NBA vagabond within a year after his arrest, and was out of the league entirely after being waived by the Mavericks in the fall of 2012. He spent a year in the NBA's D-League and then this past season slummed it up in the Chinese Basketball Association. But he's back in God's country now and looking to catch on with another team.
West is part of a larger discussion involving mental illness and sports that has cropped up unfortunately due to all the violence involving current and former NFL players. These men, and this is another time when it is always men, need help and, sometimes, it's easier for a team to cut or trade someone than actually do anything of substance. It's pretty clear that this is what happened to Delonte West. But mental illness has become less of a stigma in America thanks to athletes like Delonte West and Brandon Marshall, who serve as great examples of the recuperative powers of therapy and medication as treatment options. If Delonte can get better, well, couldn't anyone?
We sat down with him to talk his past, his present (the man is pretty focused on his son, Cash, to put it mildly) and where he goes from here. No, he did not sleep with LeBron's mom (we had to ask), and the dude can still hit the deep threes.
Come meet the real Delonte West.

All the people who was around him when everything was going good...where are they now...where is the wife and all the fake friends now...hopefully this man gets some help and support from family
Mental illness is such a horrible thing.
Kevin Cowan well what u think his white wife was gonna do stay for the long haul???plus u can only help sum 1 wit mental issues so long before u have to stop,cuz u never kno that mite jus go off n murder you n thinking god or the devil is telling them to,u cant have people like that around you especially when u got kids around
@@IGStrangDaKang what does his wife being white have anything to do with it? You don't know if she tried everything she could to help him...don't judge based on her race!

Is not really about the go fund me, it’s true he made millions, but look at him now on the street he choose that life, we can’t do nothing about sadly..... I can bet 1000$ that his family tried to help him but he goes back to the street, drugs, etc..... really sad
Dude I’m bout to cry.
Being a father of two boys. I cried seeing this knowing where's at now. Go back to your son, Cash D-West! He needs you more than ever. Fame or not. You're all he needs. God bless to you and everyone affected by mental health. Peace!
His ex wife took all his money and won’t let him see his kids
The Stranger at Night . The kids would suffer, and dude would be in jail.
He should still. Have money he gets a pension from. The nba
Bank Head his ex probably wanted 2000 a month for child support..now west it poor and broke
C'mon people let's just pray for this guy to get back on his feet. Some real fucked up shit going on

@@tommydarr5968 One day it is going to be you.
Maddrop lmfaoo. I don’t do meth G. Don’t worry bout me, ima be just fine.
@@tommydarr5968 this man is a father. I hope his son doesn't know how bad things are for his dad right now. What happened to Delonte could happened to anyone. Don't think for one second you could never be in his shoes. I'm sure a few years ago he could have never imagined his present situation.
Tommy Darr more people care about him than you
Just sad to see the stigma of mental illness affects everyone. He seems so sad and depressed. That baby is his sunshine which I'm happy to see. I'm going to pray for him and his family.
THE TATALICIOUS CHANNEL this was 5 years ago unfortunately he is now homeless and had his child taken from him cuz he couldn’t look after her
@SlapS addiction is a disease.
asdfasd stupid ass bipolar won’t give u a physical
I too suffer from bipolar and I must admit it’s hard. I feel this and can relate to west. I go through this everyday and isolate myself. Just be sad inside. It’s strange 🤷🏽♂️
@@S88-s8i bi polar isn’t an issue if you know how life works .. I never expected anything so I was never disappointed or had a reason to be sad

“Wasn’t the main man. But I was the man next to the man.”
B Sherwood that's a really humble thing to say
Lebron is happy that delonte is living like shit now... just saying
@@garryfarry4004 he was the man that busted up the main mans momma lol
Garry Farry actually Lebron came and said he don’t care how much money it takes he wants to help him
Zane yeah he has forgiven him for the thing he did and loves his friend he didn’t want to ruin his career but he was just pissed that he did that with his mom but he’s gonna get better
Sending positive vibes to him and his family. Mental illness and addiction is Real. Prayers to the family especially him and his children.
It’s all about the vibes man.....
Jay King sending positive vibes ?? How??

Kinda funny haha yay my daddy is homeless
This is hard to watch seeing everything going on with him now...
Super hard to watch knowing what's coming up next, but you know what the movie is not over. God hasn't wrapped it up yet!
So hard.
He had way more money then we could dream to make now he making less then most of all of us. Life hits you fast be humble
also has mental issues that a lot of us don't have.
Fuck you mean be humble he wasn’t acting cocky or flexing at all dumbass
lebron def has mad pull in league and got him blacked balled thats a fucking fact
I just said that shit too
Yep. Remember before Curry's rise and MVP status, Lebron was pretty much the face of the league, Nike Basketball etc. You don't want to risk him dodging non contractual obligations because you did not blackball the guy who banged his mom. Lebron's mother seems to have got away scott free......
just like he got draymond ballblacked
because draymond punched his dick?
I would do the same thing if I was lebron lol
Bro, this is really painful to watch seeing where he’s at now. Really hope he comes out of this

Who’s looking at the video after that video of him on the streets
Same I wonder why he’s not livin at home with his son
Fake friends, fake everything. I wanna know where this guy is at, i wanna help him out
He in Dallas,TX
Mark Cuban just picked him up. Look it up
Sad thing is when u on those drugs and that addiction u dont want nobodys help
Im sure lots of friends and family tried helping him
That addiction is no joke tho
Some of y'all are real petty. This man is trying to get his life together, and y'all crackin' jokes.
Whats petty is taking jokes serious
@@micahmaggio6431 DING DING DING , you are correct 19447%
Feeling bad for somebody isn't going to help them
Micah Maggio what’s petty is seeing somebody go through a tough time and making jokes like y’all ain’t got some fucked up people in y’all families
Micah Maggio you sound stupid. It’s not funny nor is it even necessary to make jokes about someone else’s struggles. Let’s see how funny the jokes will be to see you or someone you love go through something like this. Be careful because it just may happen. Karma is real!
Who's here after seeing dolente getting beat up on the street?
L Lawliet thats just sad
@@shelbylimited5673 i hope Lebron help his step dad and invite him in taco tuesday
Shits fucked up
Shits sad
Texas Latino News?
Just got this recommended to me. Shows how much people have looked him up after that video
Drugs and manipulating behavior. People know when your B.S. period!
He's a prime example of a great athlete plagued with mental problems
poetryjesus and yet everyone here making jokes about this dudes life smh
He's there for his son though
Just saw a very sad and disturbing video of you. I wish I couod reach out to you. I hope you get better. The memories you gave me as a teenager when you were playing for the Cavs will never fade. You could help so many people, man. Sorry people made jokes about your mental health. Forgive them because they know not what they've done.
IamFaded real one right there ✊🏽
100
Amen to that bro
I felt that. Bless you my man. I struggle everyday and when you can relate to this and when you see jokes about it its devastating. I hope he gets help and turns out successful again. Thank you for being compassionate
Man I wish I could do something. Like you man, my kind has embedded memories of this guy hitting mid range jumpers on the Cavs and running home from school to catch the game on TNT against the lakers or Boston. Yelling at the TV saying "Delonte Shoot that shit!" Theres a story out there where him and lebron had a convo about Delonte himself. Lebron said "Whatever you do or whatever you plan on doing, I'll be here when you get back"
When he was determined nobody wanted to help him not one team wanted to sign him. Now that he's down bad everybody have a hand out to help. The society we live in. I'm praying for you
Watch when folks pass they'll come out saying "He was the best athlete and they made all the these memories!" Fake as heck. Knowing this man was crying out for help.
Yep it’s called fake love...
He needs real love, real support and people to stick with him until he's healed🙏🙏🙏
Exactly, and I bet you it's black people making fun of him the most. It's so sad.
@@jamesaaron23 Definently bro.
Spacely Man so sad man my own color is making fun of him
Came here to see when he still had some sanity left. So sad
Sad asf man I hope gets help and he turns himself around it will be a great story
Same here bro . So sad smh.
@@BigSpence_ same. I'm really rooting for him
Will Ibo fuck
Meds ultimately fucked him up. And where's his loved ones he took care of? Some sad shit
I know for a fact dude took a bad pill or a drug from someone. He was functional at this point, but to go to where he is now? A doctor prescribed him a bad pill or someone gave him a fucked drug.
Doctors just want to make money at the end of the day I had an ex gf who was normal till she started going to the doc and they put her on all them pills for her bi polar shits sad
Come on Lebron, give your step dad another chance.
lmaooo
WildDanHibiki this comment had me dying
Lmao
Facts.
WildDanHibiki No
NBA please help this man
Israel Raider NBA will help him they care so much about their reputation
Mark Cuban tried to help him when he was with the mavs but he refused and went back to the streets
He needs to help himself first brotha! Wish him well I really hope he gets better. God Bless you bro, wish you the very best man.
If he didnt burn any bridges I hope his ex teammates will come together and help him
So sad I only know of this man because of his controversy. I found him years ago and sadly, he's gotten much worse. Heartbreaking to watch really. I wish him better health and recovery.
He's back
@@waynegreen6789 Back as in doing better health wise and in a gainful employment? Or, back as in having more struggles and problems? I hope it isn't the latter. I feel some sort of connection to him and I truly wish him the best in his life🥰
@@boujiebarbie3198he's apart of the big 3
@@waynegreen6789 Ohhh, he made it?!! I heard they had interest in him but I didn't know he made it!!! Good for him! I'm glad they hooked him up with a spot!! Thanks for letting me know
I guarantee prescription drugs made him worse over time.
100 % agree
Boombox Boy Yep and That’s why everyone should be like the MLB and take Marijuana off the banned substance list
Boombox Boy I think at first they halped maybe but he probably got addicted and just went down the rabbit hole
He was playing basketball in the nba and then he gets diagnosed with bipolar and shit goes downhill..
I'm completely with you here man. With these types of illnesses, doctors just throw different meds at people to see what ones will work for people. So, they obviously don't even know much more than we do about it. It's ok for doctor's to be a middle man drug pusher for big pharma companies though. It's all bullshit. Feel bad for this dude though.
When you are up, their hands are out. When you are down, you can’t find them. Lord willing, he survives, but I bet if he was found dead, everyone would be talking about how great he was, and how he tried to help him.
You aré totally right i am agree with you
Big facts 💯💯
God touched this man to the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, restore his sanity & spirituality. God remove all negativity out his soul and pour your precious blood light of love into this young man, in the name of the holy ghost the son and the father i pray Amen 🙏 🙏

@@antondouglas9826 Yes
This is truly heartbreaking 😢 all he wanted was a second chance
Everyone deserves one
So they medicated this man and messed his whole life up.
Bryan Donahue idk about that one chief..... he has had mental issues since he was a kid. At some point he got hooked on drugs “not medicated” and that’s where it all went to shit. Idk if you know anyone who has issues AND takes drugs like heroine but that is the worse situation
You are completely misinformed. I'm 💯 that he felt better after the medicine and thought he didn't need it anymore. That is what gets so many people with bipolar and other mental health illnesses.
What a foolish comment. “They.”
Try thinking with nuance
Google User I’m not saying prescription medicine is the 100% solution I’m explaining that hard drugs like Heroine are the cause of him going off the deep end and heroine taken in place of prescription medication is the absolute worse combination since it can turn even the brightest mind into one filled with chaos imagine what it does to a mind already clouded....
@@jon553 😂😂😂
So sad to see him in a warm and loving environment to on the streets homeless...wishing him the best
Used to hate on DW everytime I'd see em on t.v. balling. Never again. Stay up homie.
James Jones Thats cold man. Not everyone grew up in a stable home within a good socio-economy neighbourhood, possibly like yourself. Yes they were gifted with incredible talent and most of them worked very hard for it, but maybe their upbringings didn't teach them the proper values to live by in order to succeed in every aspect of life. Im not saying you should show sympathy to these pro athletes, but you should try not be a dick to people whose struggles you dont understand.
James Jones fuck u
Everyone is human and has their own issues regardless of being a millionaire...Mark Cuban picked him up at a Gas Station & is paying for all his medical expenses at Rehab. Bless this man.
Instead of ridiculing this young brotha with Bullshit ass comments and negativity, Im Going to wish the best for this brotha and pray that his dreams come true. And that he finds the path he needs to be on. I hope he Gets back to where he needs to be.
Good man me too 👍👍👍
Lebron,you may went down south, but your mom went West.
nice recycled joke from 6 years ago.
Jerheme Urban you seem offended lol. Did delonte tap your mamma as well ??
Tobias B-Smith hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
LOL....wow!
lmao
I understand his wife taking the child away for the best of them. But when you marry it's for sickness and for health. I have bipolar disorder and struggle heavily for 12+ years. One of my biggest fears is someone leaving me because of it and not helping me through it. He lost everything. With little to no understanding. And hes right about the stigma and people repeatedly bringing up your medication or assuming you're going to have an outburst I never tell anyone I have it at first for that reason.
emd
I usually start with that so they know legally I’m not going to be held liable if I hurt you lmao
This is sad ... if nobody steps in he’s going to die in the streets ..
Everyday ppl die in the streets??? What makes his story any more/less sad...Stay woke my man.
We don’t know those people’s stories so is hard to connect but we know his ...
Point is we need step up and find a solution for a much bigger problem thats sad my man. Mr west doesnt even scratch the surface
Don’t feel bad for em he made 4 million dollars a yr for a few yrs he’s got money we poor as fuk he’s a millionaire
he had sex with LeBron mom,?
The whole Lebron situation really had an impact on his life , he just wanted to ball and have his family court side cheering him on hope he gets well 🙏
And he still achieved more in life than any of you speaking bad on him he obviously have mental issues .
Never really understood what happened with lebron
Was it ever proven?
he achieved more but lost it all and is lower than all of us now he really did i t for nothing…

He's still better that half the players on the Knicks.
And the Orlando Magic

Thats why hes been to the d league right? Dummy
Real shit
I believe the doctor prescribed this man some medicine and he hasn't been the same since. This is why I cry before I go to the doctor because you never know what's going to happen.
True , people don’t wanna admit that prescription medicine isn’t always the best.
This behavior is definitely in line with going off the meds
The doctor was LeBron James.
"I wasnt the Man Man....but I was the Man next to the MAN" when he said that i choked up a bit, no human being deserves what Delonte is going through, hopfully he can overcome this with some help. Stay strong Bortha✊
Go put some money in that man hands I bet it go a lot further than this comment …

who cares if it's bullshit. it makes him happy and that's all that matters.
and why is that?
and sometimes false hope is what people need. there's still no proof to anything. so why not say there could be an afterlife, rather than to just say you die and that's it? it's just a more positive outlook imo. but it really just depends on the person. if you're happy looking at it the opposite way then go ahead. it's whatever brings you happiness.
I honestly believe that Lebron played a part in him never being able to get back in the nba
Came here after the recent video and now I’m heartbroken knowing he has two kids at home wondering where their dad is 😢
Actually trying not to cry a little bit. I feel his struggle, I've been through it. I got lucky that I noticed it and stopped taking certain meds i was prescribed and I'm just in a fortunate situation but there has to be a way we can reach out to him and help him. There's no way we can't figure out a way to help him. If the NBA doesn't step up, I don't know what to say.
So you saying the meds would of made you worse
@@luislooey9727 yes some meds make a person worse.
luis looey duh
Why would they step up he’s not an employee
This man has the life of some shit you’d see in a movie from going to a professional athlete millionaire to living in the streets I had no idea he had mental issues I pray for you you’re sons need you.
Everyone has mental issues some people just deal with it better than others.. I bet if whoever told him that never told him that he never would have ended up where he at now

Absolutely. It’s why I stopped taking my meds. They made me a horrible person. It’s all an excuse.

life moves forward people. you cant live in your memories, make new ones.
This the Delonte we wanna see again
It's a damn shame that Lebron hasn't met his little brother. Hope he doesn't do him like Beyonce.

Son of Knowledge whack
His woman didn't even wanna kiss him I know she abandoned him quick
I noticed that too 🤦🏽♀️
The lack of compassion and humanity in this comment section is honestly sad. I really thought you people were better than this but I guess we know what level of empathy y'all have for others. None. I pray to god none of you ever end up down this road. I hope.
Welcome to the internet
I hope everyone who are finding his plight funny, ends up in the predicament. Despicable human beings.
Im y thoughts exactly! Smh
Hope ya prayers work this time
Ya'll act like he's hit rock bottom. He's still living better than most of us.

Christ can fix it
@Britt Young. I so agree! Amen Amen!!
That’s a comforting belief but it’s never been proven, millions of people suffer in this world daily and are prayed for and believe they will be healed only to die or continue suffering. My grandma was a woman of faith who believed she would receive her healing from cancer and she passed away. There’s no proof but it makes us feel better to think there’s something looking after us...
It’s hard when you’re holding hands with the devil

+Waterboxer I don't understand how he isn't set for life after earning about $16 mil in 9 years.
+Waterboxer He's not homeless, he's good. The hospital gave him the wrong meds for his bi-polar disorder, he went and got a bite to eat hallucinated and took his shoes off. He good now.
+TX_Trill_OriGinators he should sue the hospital
Paul Khaira I thought the same thing. Even though he just got embarrassed a little bit, it could have been much worse.
+Khari Fahim in glad somebody cleared that up because the media will twist anything smh
Who else seeing this after his “incident”👀
This came in my recommendations :(
We rocked with Delonte heavy here in Cleveland he was a good guard and played his heart out. The nonsense about him and LeBrons mom was where his career downfall began...
+DonJuan6 Yep, and the fact that he was a good player but then he just vanished...makes me think the rumor was true. Oh, Gloria. smh
+Barbara Gordon yeah I almost think it was true, because it's a known fact Lebron wasn't himself in that Boston series, something was definitely on his mind...
Thuggin Explain the Dallas series the year after then ?
@@a.c.slater7989 rigged sports
God Save, Heal and Renew Delonte’s mind spirit heart soul and body. He has a good heart and deserves a new life and a fresh start. Lord give Him that opportunity, I pray for Him to completely surrender to You, because in You is Salvation and a new life. May He be surrounded by your Holy Angels and protected from further demonic attacks. In Jesus Might name I pray. Amen 🙏🏼
Amen
Lebron James is the face of the NBA right now. He slept with Lebron mom. NBA is not going to deal with that drama. His mental illness is another factor. He definitely is good anough to play in the league but he has too much baggage. The only one that might help is Lebron himself. If he can forgive him and vouch for him..but i dont see that happening .
lol your the biggest fuckin joker that comment Ed on this. the NBA is a pro league and they don't give 2 fucks about lebrick. James. you make it seem like a rep league at the YMCA or re. centre. smh
+Hayyu Kormme that shit pisses me of NBA not gonna vow to LeBron. Delonte ain't in the league because of himself only. He said he was gonna get better and look what happened few months ago they found him drugged without shoes in the streets.
His gal jumped like she was ready to run off when he asked for a kiss definitely a egg shell environment
Yea she looked shook
Lil Nip yeah you can tell he been spazzing out on her
2:49 talkin bout this?
Yes
Someone help DW!!! 😢 the NBA has billions, he just need attention.
This convinced me anyone literally anyone can struggle. Man was rich and famous had everything any man could ever want and no he is homeless.
Smh now he’s homeless and saw a sad video today of him on Facebook dude got jumped and arrested he looked high asf
what Paul said don’t do drugs kids
How do you know what drugs he was on if any it was likely given to him by a doctor in the mental institution he was in. Thoughtless Fucks.
It’s not always drugs dude had poor mental health and no family would help him
Really same thing happened to my younger brother who has bi polar . But my family takes care of him but it’s very hard
Its called a manic episode. Not always crack.
It got me when he was basically talking about how his baby kid won’t judge him as most people do, and he’s trying to protect his kid from all that influences, that’s sad and beautiful at the same time.
Who’s here after seeing him homeless and cracked out ?
Here me
Hes not on crack but he has mental issues
Me
damn in 2020 this dude is not doing well ::(
Rooting for you to get your life together my man.
I hope the NBA higher up's and player fraternity can mobilize some supports for this young man.
Get your life together tf you mean he straight
@@being2real943 He is now, but this video is 7 years old. He bottomed out a few years back before pulling it together.
@@being2real943 Cancel that. I just saw a recent clip of him panhandling. My original comment remains firm. I wish this man well.
