yeah he has had help but hes dealing with mental issues. you dont get help for mental issues in jail breh. we cant give up on people because they havent won their battle with mental health. if you had 10 people that attemptd to help you with mental illness and you hadnt succeeded against it yet would you want people to give up on you or keep trying? were all human and all of us havent been dealt the same hand brotherHe’s had more help than most people trying to get him right. At this point he need to just got to jail

I wonder what the deal is
Mark Cuban did help him
If Mark Cuban helped him and West still failed so what can the NBA do?

Bipolar disease requires consistent medication, behavioral therapy, and strong family support systems. He clearly has none of those. Very very sad.

Exactly. Mental health issues are really, really hard to deal with, and I'm under the impression the NBA doesn't really provide the sort of stability or lasting support structures that address it well. Claiming that someone has had "enough" help is unlikely considering how isolated he appears, some rich friends reaching out or offering to pay for an apartment and therapy really doesn't cut it if he doesn't have someone in his life on a continuous basis to help him stay on track until his own brain is able to take over reliably.
The Coli’s favorite topic!! Ohhh shyt!

philly.
nah I wouldn’t think a off and on drug addict with a history of severe mental illness could just “get employed as a coach somewhere”
NO YOU'RE NOT

Yeah I'm saying if you were a retired pro basketball player, the first thing that should be on your mind is to be some type of coach or be in the game somehow, crazy that his first thought is to be a degenerate
I took a picture with him when I saw him at the 7/11 on Richmond Highway, he's cool, just family fccked him over (which I don't know why no one went at the family for his mental health issues). But hope he get the full help he deserves.

This man was a millionaire at one point in his life and it solved nothing. It probably exacerbated his problems even more. Turns out money doesn't fix everything, in fact it has the potential to make things worse. Hope the brother finds peace or can get and sustain some semblance of normalcy.
NO YOU DIDNT
