Sad story. Probably only drugs and gambling could wipe a guy out like thatOriginally posted by Yulia74Comment -
delonte had sex with lebron james’ mother
his career was over after thatComment -
LolComment -
guy came of age in DC and Philly right?
he's pretty damn functional considering that
He's part black part Native american correct?
he's on the far end of the "normal" spectrum considering that.... just a little better than Elizabeth WarrenComment -
The good thing is he was willing to meet up w/ Cuban.Comment -
You just described most of SBR’s postersOriginally posted by Otters27Comment -
he's a bum living on the streets now, but the streets never forget what he did to lebron's mom
poor guy is broke cause he fuked lebrons mother
Comment -
I would think Cuban will try to get him cleaned up and help
Then give him some job and give him cashComment -
Otters is close to being that guy sadly enough...Originally posted by BigJayComment -
I hope he steals everything from Cuban....Comment -
Delonte West: hey
LeBron James: dumb motherfukerComment -
He played for Wooten at DeMatha in Maryland. With Keith Bogans he seemed a little more normal.Originally posted by Chi_archieComment -
he could shank cuban when they're alone...i wouldnt spend a second alone with that animalComment -
could definitely see this. he becomes an executive for the Mavs, etc.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
Now that's a reach. Cuban is just doing a bit of good PR for the soft liberals. He'll spend a bit of money on it then say I tried...Originally posted by pologqComment -
and he deserves his charity why?Comment -
Unions look after each other. Get a trade and try it out. Why else you got 40 hour weeks and weekends off.Originally posted by sackdudComment -
SBR: Gambling, Booze, Drugs and Womanizing. Lots of marital issues. Lots of girlfriend issues. Most guys buried.Originally posted by BigJayComment -
It’s great “former player” PR. Lots of organizations do it. Once a Maverick-always a Maverick. Smart. Maybe Delonte doesn’t snap out of it or want to... Cuban can say- we tried and did everything in our power.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
Not like a high level executive. Something where the title sounds better than the actual money. Just enough for him to live comfortable.Originally posted by IBetYouComment -
What's the Cuban supposed to do.
An addict has to realize he's in dire straights and want to get better at any cost.
Publicity stunt for Cuban to show his virtue and morality.
Virtue-signaling I think is the parlance of the day.Comment -
exactly. cuban can't lose doing this and he could actually save someone's life.Originally posted by mjsuax13Comment -
A positive story could come from this. Mark Cuban has multiple businesses. Delonte messed up his life but I believe in redemption and it could be a great story. Cuban doesn’t lose and Delonte could win. Let’s hope for the best.Originally posted by pologqComment -
Mark Cuban seems like a nice guy.Comment -
And what about the tens of thousands of other addicts who weren't athletically gifted and suffer in the shadows without name recognition?
Is the Cuban as enthusiastic about helping them?
Don't know if he has given any of his time to this cause or not; if he has, I apologize.
Seems like a publicity stunt to me.
There are NA meetings and groups worldwide that would welcome Delonte into their fold; and not because of his celebrity.Comment -
It’s a former player of his in his city... so it seems like a good idea. I don’t think Cuban needs a publicity stunt. The guy goes on Fox News and buries Trump as a sports team owner in Texas. He doesn’t seem to care or give a fuk.Originally posted by Roscoe_Word
You are right though... most addicts are in the shadows and people don’t step up for them. However, speaking as someone with family member addicts- they are far gone pal. They don’t want the help even if we offered. They never have. They laugh at us. They aren’t changing. Hopefully Delonte does.Comment -

Of course it's a publicity stunt. Could have sent anyone over to pick him up, tell him he'd get a free meal and a nice bed. He went there himself and no doubt brought a camera crew with him. He's the most PR conscious owner in the league. That's why he's always wasting picks on these foreign guys that don't belong in the league (the Indian guy, the Japanese guy etc).Comment -
The Mexican guy too.
Lets face it, the reason he drafted Doncic was he wanted the Mavs to appeal to Europe not becausethey were so sharp about how his skills would translate. This the same franchise that gave a hobbled Parsons all that money.Comment -
who knows maybe it will workComment -
Whatever Cuban gives him, Cuban can just use it as a tax write-off. I just got my haircut today and ask for a receipt and told them to please have receipts from Jan till now when I come in next time. She said a lot of customers are asking for receipts and ask why!!Comment -
Cuban said he would pay to help get him back on his feet. Rehabilitation etc. There are kind people in the world. Scumbags like you live in a fukking cave...Originally posted by IBetYouComment -
