Sorry to hear that bro..how did it end up for your unc? Delonte is probably more a danger to himself than others around him. I hope they can help him man
Thanks breh. He passed away a couple years back. But yea this shyt is sad to see I hope that people have tried to offer him some assistance. But if he’s refused help then there’s not much anyone can do. This isn’t looking good

schizophrenia is a crazy disease man
Hearing shyt, seeing shyt, constantly having voices in your head
And majority of the time the voices are negative for some reason
I wonder why they just can't block out the voices and images but I guess it's too hard to decipher between hallucinations and reality

that's wild. didn't know delonte west hit rock bottom like this. that story of him proposing to his wife was heartbreaking and it sounds like he has a combination of mental health and drug issues. hopefully he can get some type of help.

Mark Cuban in 2016 saying he tried to help him many times and it didn’t work:
Cuban on troubled Delonte West reports: 'Terrible; we tried to help him so many times'

at this point idk what will save him if cuban already tried.

I haven't seen the NBA or any of his former teams make a statement regarding the various videos that have come out of him post-retirement, so I couldn't tell you whether or not they've made any attempts to help.

Whether they have or haven't they need to keep pressure on the issue and refuse to quit on him. He's one of their own and every couple of months when a new clip goes viral it's a shame.
In his last stint with the Mavs they tried. Cuban put him up in an apartment and they tried to get him help. There’s only so much you can do for someone legally.

If you’re in PG County you’re bound to see him.

One day I was at Safeway (in Rivertown) and saw him. Breh was looking out of it. I told him, “you looking good champ”. nikka looked at me like it made his whole day:mjgrin:.

Breh is sick and needs some help.
I’ve seen him in Greenbelt a couple years ago. Just wondering around. It’s sad.
