Here's former NBA player Delonte West -- looking worse for wear out in Houston earlier this week.

It's actually a sad story ... the person who shot the photo is a huge basketball fan and said they noticed the former 1st round draft pick wandering around outside of a Jack in the Box around 10 PM all by himself with no shoes.

When the fan approached him and asked, "Are you Delonte West?" -- he replied, "I used to be but I'm not about that life anymore."

We tried contacting West to find out if he's okay -- and even reached out to his old agent -- but we couldn't get in touch with him.

You rarely see the spiral. You see all-world athletes in their prime climb the ladder of the world, and then they disappear from the public eye with a long, long way to fall.

It seems as if Delonte West is the latest cautionary tale, an eight-year NBA career finished since 2012, and only surfacing now looking like a shell of himself.

The 32-year-old, who earned more than $16 million in stints with Boston, Seattle, Cleveland and Dallas, was spotted ambling around a Jack In The Box parking lot in Houston earlier this week, reportedly wearing a hospital robe and no shoes.

According to an Instagram user who happened upon the one-time St. Joseph’s star, West’s world-weary comments matched his disheveled look.

According to TMZ, the informant approached West and asked, “Are you Delonte West?”

“I used to be, but I’m not about that life anymore,” he reportedly responded.



he told Vice Sports in 2014.


In 2011, the guard, whose career earnings had exceeded $14 million already, revealed he applied for a job at Home Depot.

“It’s official,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “Pride 2 the side. just filled out application at Home Depot. Lockout aint a game.”

He even tweeted his application, though he quickly deleted the images to avoid trouble with his hopeful employers.

Since bowing out of the league in 2012, he’s bounced around the D-League and China. He was waived by the Texas Legends in early 2015, not to be heard from again until these pictures were unearthed.

For a one-time LeBron James sidekick, it’s a long way down.
