Mark can’t do it alone. The NBA needs a program for their former players financial and mental well being. Let’s build a better world.
lets start one with nba
Hiii Felicia
That’s real ❤️
Man when I was living in Dallas I seen my boy looking bad on the highway....good to see he doing better
Giving them millions wasn't enough? We are in control of our own lives.
Mark is one of the only people in the 1% that actually still has humanity and empathy. He is a good man and I hope Delonte keeps going further with his recovery!
Facts mark Zuckerberg the owner of instagram whatever his name is is too busy training for the UFC & the sad part about all of this is most of the 1% of these billionaires are sports team owners which means they can definitely make a change for these people that really need it especially all these owners of NFL teams that know all these players end up retiring with CTE but that’s a whole different topic for a different day/video CTE is also real man :( mental health matters
The owner of the Carolina Panthers’s net worth is 20.6 Billion Dollars & not one single dollar of that money in his bank account is being invested into a positive/helpful cause 😔 like CTE since he's an NFL owner & most NFL players end up leaving the game with CTE & deep depression 👎🏽
So proud of Delonte. Shoutout to Mark Cuban for being a genuinely good owner and man.
Dude he is on the streets again
@@dilonharms5409 when did you hear that?
Mark Cuban became a billionare for a reason.
@@Justincrock10 yea i just seen a vid he back in dc now on the streets
With all the money LeBron has hot I don't understand why he doesn't help is father out.
You can see in Delonte's eyes that he is a good person. Sometimes in life the most caring people face the most difficult problems. Glad he is doing better and wishing him the best!
You can not see in his eyes his a good person. Bet all Ted Bundys victims said the same shit. Not saying he’s not a good person but you can’t judge character by a look in someone’s eyes doesn’t matter how kind or how crazy their eyes look
His worst enemy is his brain unfortunately
He's not. He's back on the street
I’m always rooting for Delonte 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️
Cause he had sex with Lebrons mom?
You don’t know anything about Delonte, clown
🙏🏽
@Anything Goes hell yeah
Why
Delonte West, keep pushing through. Wishing you the best.
He's back on the streets
Facts seen him on a video talking with some kids in the street. Dude needs help for him and his kids. So sad...
@@michaelschnoor7594 shut up
So sad. Mental illness and addiction terrible combination!
@@dabbykadenwho to ask you that he said he wishes him the best bitch ass nigga
Glad to see he's doing OK. Hang in there and stay strong!
He is back in the streets
@@roycontreras5196 he rebuild then proceeded to delete his progress to get all the trophys in the game
he literally had a sexual relationship with his teammates/friends mother
@@socialcreditsmaster5759 having mental illness is no joke. me and you see it like that. he just has a tough time dealing with normal shit because hes not all there all the time
This man has a story to tell. He could really change some lives as a motivational speaker!
what will it be called?
how to sleep with your friends mother?
Fr!
That s what he should do and he can do .
Hellyeah😮🎉
Praying for Delonte. I really hope and pray he gets the help he needs.
He needs help, not prayer.
Jesus can heal Him let's pray that he is healed and finds Jesus and that Jesus will use him as a testimony
@@veganpotterthevegan he’s already had all the help in the world thrown in his face jackass….clearly he wont do anything with it
@@basket6460 jesus is a fictional character in a book lulz
@@PERC_-ANGLE how is he fictional lol. science doesnt go against him and theres logical proof he exists
Mark is a national treasure. Story after story this man deserves his billions
lol
his step son lebron should help him out
This brings me to tears I've been in his shoes.. not in the NBA part but the depression and loss
Both Delonte and Mark are inspiring. Delonte for being open with the struggles he's going through and the humility to get a regular job post-nba career like that, and Mark for taking the time to find and help a brother out like that. You have to understand that basic law, more money more problems, and the fact that such a wealthy guy who could be "too busy" or "too important", made the call to get involved and help Delonte, this is amazing!
Got bless him n Mark. Mental health is hard but having support makes things a little easier 💛🙌🏾 🙏🏾 ✨️
Back in 2004, St. Joes and Delonte West gave us college kids an exciting and unforgettable perfect season and Elite 8 spot in the NCAA Tourney. It’s great to see him get back on his feet and what a genuine guy Mark Cuban is 😊
Him and jameer nelson
Or the players could use their own millions to better their financial and mental well being. The NBA has already bettered their financial well being by giving them millions to throw a ball in a basket
@@devantebenton9815 and Carol and Jones and Chet….all the Hawks!
@@justynh1655 yes but that’s the problem. Most of these guys don’t know how to manage their money and just like a majority of people, will just go spend it all. If someone had a millions dollars ask them; “if you had mental issues, would you spend money on getting treatment or buying a Ferrari that might make you feel better”? I just think it’s a very complex issue that involves more than money. It’s identifying, commitment, will to get better and a supporting party.
@@justynh1655 people like u are what's wrong with the world today. Everyone needs some type of help, mark Cuban is a good man
I suffer from Bipolar Type 1! I went to LA to chase my dreams and failed twice because I lost everything 5 times and I’m only 28! I did everything right first one to graduate college in my family I was very successful early 20’s! Now I’m a bum on my moms couch, trying to get it back! I slipped into a Psychosis twice and was hospitalized the second one! It takes our brain MONTHS to heal so you’re depressed for MONTHS! So I resorted to trying different drugs and was a going through a Liter of Alcohol a Day. I would’ve been just like him I was homeless in LA in my car! We lose everything because of our depression and addictions as a coping mechanism! I pray he can properly heal! West man if you’re reading this! YOU CAN BEAT YOUR MIND
Praying for you bro
I Pray you also heal my Brother.
Me and my brother met Delonte on the streets of D.C. a few years ago, it was sad to see him at that point he seemed to be mid manic episode when we met him, im glad hes getting help he seemed like a really great dude who got lost in his head. As someone who struggles with various mental health disorders im glad to finally see the news showing some positivity
No one cares shut up
idk the man only heard about him three yrs( im a football fan so excuse my ignorance altought i played with him on 2k12) and im surprised how he was at the top and was talented relieved to watch people reaching out for him tryna bounce him back drugs are a hell of a thing tho
He’s definitely doing better. I wish he would’ve made a team in the big 3 and really got his life back together. Either way this is good he’s going in a great direction.
He had sex with Lebrons Mom. After that it's been downhill.
Haven’t watched this video yet but he didn’t make a team??
@@Black____ nope.. I watched the whole draft waiting to see his name get called because he passed all the tryouts and remained eligible but no team selected him and he wasn’t signed after that. He works a normal job now I think roofing.
@@beachboytyler7574
Damn. Ok thanks. He still seemed to have some game left when I saw him practicing
Delonte already back on the street. Lots of lag time between them producing a story.
This is touching I pray for this man. I watched him when he was in his prime and he was pretty good 💯
He is a kind man. He has been through so much. God bless him.
My prayers, love and encouragement go out to this man! I’m happy he is healthy and off the streets. Hope things continue to get better for him 💙💙💙
God bless Delonte and anyone who is on this mental health journey 🙏🏾and those who support them!
So proud of this man!!! My brother has psychosis and he refuses to get help. This is so powerful to do this interview. God bless him!
And that's the major problem with the homeless people. They don't want help. They don't want to go into a shelter.
did your brother also spend 16 million?
@@blackoutgstar9949 *wasted
Gotta keep pushing on through. I suffer from ADHD, anxiety and PTSD and I'll tell it's not easy
My Heart goes out to you 🙏🏾
same but would never tell anyone or look for people to have sympathy for my weakness
@@B86432 your an idiot he’s just shedding some light on mental health it’s not all that bad
Same 😢 and all my family turned their backs on me
I just saw Delonte last night at the 7/11 by Forest Lane station in Dallas texas. Y'all pray for him. He ain't doing so well, again. I bought him some food and a drink. Tragic af
🤲🏾
The “again” and then the comma before that word holds strong
You sure
How? He lives in Virginia
@@crzy1sibirski2tiger you don’t know shyt!
I'm rooting for this guy. I hope he gets it together.
I am always happy when I see that Mr. Delonte is making steps to make sure he is okay. Salute to everyone who is doing what they can to help this gentleman.
Happy 39th birthday to you, Delonte! I hope you get better and stay on track!
From playing on the hardwood to installing the hardwood. Heck of a journey. I’m proud of you. Stay strong
He is back on the streets now. Panhandling. Already. 🤷♂️
@@DangerousDevilOfficial wow. Sad story.
From smashing Lebrons mom to selling his body to John's on the corner. So sad.
lebrons step dad
@@blackoutgstar9949 😂
Blessings to all those who help him along the way ,including those who left him after he lost his Is fortunes .....you know who has your back when you down .Blessings to those who help him . Much respect
As someone who suffers bipolar, this video really helps raise proper awareness. Thank you GMA3.
I always suspected I might have some form of it. How do you even know.?
@@AllenHanPR you will have mood swings where you will go from being overly happy to very depressed, sometimes multiple times within one year. But ultimately being truthful with your doctor about symptoms is one of the only ways to get a diagnosis. That and a manic episode.
@@aden3973 sorry to hear that. I hope you find peace ❤️
A carnivore diet gets rid of BPD
@@aden3973 sorry 😞
You can't help but love Delonte when you see him......heartfelt cuz that could that be any of us....."God Knows what he is doing" Delontae West
I was just with him out VA. We had a great conversation and I just pray that my Friend gets da help & Support that he needs.. Great Dude 4Real
If most people were honest with themselves everyone is battling or recovering for something. Mentally or emotionally.
Facts
There are different levels of recovering
bipolar disorder often comes in the childhood when the kid had faced a trauma
Some people like to compare their paper cuts to shotgun wounds..
Precisely. So let's just get everyone on anti-psychotics and depressants so they don't know how to cope naturally. Then become dependent on a medication that is price gouged by a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical company.
This guy was nice nice back in the day… hopefully he can pull through
Freemason
lol what is nice to you?
he had sexual relations with his friends mother
Such a sweet and kind soul ❤
Beautiful, for some reason a weekend game when I was in highschool that he played in when on the cavs is glued in my memory. I remember chilling on my bed watching the game. Always liked his style.
Prayers for Delonte and his family hope he pulls through strong🙏🏼💪🏼
Rooting for you Delonte. Happy for your bounce back. Thanks for sharing this story.
Thank god to see this man back on his feet love bro❤️
Man great for him. I always loved his game. He was underrated af. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
He back on the streets. 😔
Cmon DeLonte !!!
You were a really good player! Nba fans will never forget that sweet lefty stroke and swiftly moves! It’s okay to struggle it’s okay to work a regular job! No shame ! Keep pushing !
As an alum from his alma mater, this makes me smile. He has been in my prayers
Such a great and humble person 🙏
I hope he makes it through. I really like him as a person and admire his willingness to share his challenges with all of us. Thank you Delonte! I believe in you!
lol lebrons step dad
he will make it
What you wish on others will eventually come to you
Stay on track my brother,,, proud of your effort
I'm sending healing energy to Delonte West and his precious loved ones. Mental illness is an everyday struggle that runs in my family. I understand how kost people can't relate.
Love and Respect from Australia… Wat a Man❤️❤️❤️
Man, it’s amazing to see this comeback story. This man hit rock bottom and is still fighting. I have massive respect for that.
He's back on the streets
@@papichulo5465 Yeah, it's hard drugs just as much as mental health. Sucks. Hard to escape that two headed monster.
@@Thomas-fk3cw I have a bipolar aunt and man she went from extremes so often it was crazy. He will eventually get back off the streets. Bipolar seriously ruin's people's mental state and makes them make decisions that don't help their life situation.
Prayers for my guy good to see him on the road to recovery.
So glad he’s on the road to recovery! I use to like watching him play. Happy for his kids too!🙏🏽
Great update on Delonte ❤
Good to see Delonte getting better prayers for him to stay on the good road Brutha!!
What a great comeback story much blessings too him
This is Delonte's story and Testimony. Stay strong Mr. West. 🙏
It takes a brave man to come out to the public like this and talk about his process and personal struggles
God bless him wish him the best
God bless him I have followed this for few years what a comeback proud of the boy may God be with him
I am so happy for him
You can do this Delonte! Thoughts and prayers to a man trying to live a loving and fruitful life.
Delonte’, you were always kind to me when I worked at SJU. I’m so glad you are doing well. God Bless you, peace and blessings to you and your family! 🙏🏽🫶🏼💛
Im rooting for ya man ♥️
That bounce back story. Shout out to his coach 🙌🏿 and everybody who helped this brotha fight to regain his life.
I wouldn't say he bounced back. I just seen a video a few days ago of him fucked up outside a 711. Truly a sad story.
Delonte we are proud of you sir! You are not alone!
This warmed my heart.
Good for him...prayers from ireland🙏🙏👍
So happy for him 👍🏽👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Just saw the video of the woman recording him today💔
Wishing you the best bro 🙌🙌
I remember this brother being one of my favourite players, when I was a kid. I wish him well.
I respect MARK CUBAN SO MUCH! He helped a man in need. And I hope west continues to do well
But did you respect him before this
Hope he gets well. It appears he also has neurological issues. Glad to see he’s trying.
Excellent interview and great information 👍🏽
Thanks 4 sharing WEST, glad your doing better ❤️ (Thanks 4 helping him out MARK C)
I watched an interview where he said he has MS and sometimes forgets he even played in the NBA prayers up to West and his family
@Jay Diggz facts. Man I swear it’s been 3-4 times now players or former players have done things to help put him in a better position and he keep ending back up on the streets. You can only do so much for someone who isn’t trying to help themselves
@@NeverBeenBad why cant they stick to weed tho smh
Shout out to Mark Cubam for jump starting his recovery man.... and God bless Delonte for having the courage to open up and accept the help.... hope he continue to do well and stays on the good path
Glad to see this man gets help .🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Great reporting and discussing this with some insight and depth. Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️
Philly will always love ya, Delonte. We'll ALWAYS be rooting for you!
Posted 4 days ago? This video is old news. My boy Delonte back in them streets, unfortunately. Streets that don't love nobody... Dude was my favorite player growin up. Wet lefty. Prayers for Delonte West. Hope he gets right with God, his family and most of all himself. 🙏
He has such kind eyes. Glad to see him doing better. May god continue to walk with him. Wish him nothing but peace and happiness 🤍
Sending prayers.🙏🏽
All my love & support goes to him. As someone who was diagnosed with bipolar back in 2013 I know how extremely dark life can get & how fast paced & overwhelming it can get as well but with the right people & medical professionals around you, life can turn around for you. It's A day at A time process though. I was admitted 4 times from 2013 to 2022 & it's A battle everyday still. I just want to be one of the people who break the stigma down about mental health & that it's okay to talk about-it doesn't make you weak. Respect to Mark Cuban for helping him. My family helped me when I needed it & I'm grateful for that.
This is great to hear! I was worried for him. May God help him and heal him🙏🏾
Unfortunately he's back on the streets of Virginia on drugs panhandling again
@@RontheDon420 yeah they ran this story a little late dudes in bad shape right now.
@@CaneCorso45 sad to see
@@RontheDon420 that wasn't him
@@cbeattie778 ok buddy ok
Prayers an much RESPECT Sir 🙏🙏🙏❤❤
as a person with mental illness i relate to him god bless u man
I met him once, really nice guy!
So relieved 😭💜
Much love to you Delonte ❤️
There’s no rhyme or reason for depression. I’m rooting for Delonte , also from DC. One day at a time. Stay strong. 🙏🏾
I know how you feel bro I’m going through bipolar episodes every day since one day at a time

Glad to see you doing well!!!!
I remember that run St. Joes had in 04. Jameer Nelson and Delonte East made them such a fun team.
I'm a current opiate addict and suffer with mental health currently and I really hope that he makes it but worried do to my experience failing time and time again that it's too late for this legend.
Turn to God
It’s never to late you got this and don’t let anyone tell you different. There is people for you to talk to. There is people that want you to do great. I don’t know you but I love you man.
Lol these comments gonna say “I love you” , and some god comments good luck bruh I’m an alcoholic and drunk at 9:00 in the morning rn
@@yomomsahoe5797 Lmfaoo at least u kept it real
Stay strong my dude 💪🏾
To my fellow bipolar peeps. I love you, you aren’t alone. Even though I feel that way sometimes, I know there’s a lot of you out there.
So happy to hear good news❤️
I hope Delonte can keep on the up and up. He was a lot of fun to watch as a player and it sucks to see someone go thru such hard times. We are lucky in this day and age with all the information on mental health and addiction we have, people can def get help in a better way than in the past imho.
Saw him panhandling this morning getting on the bus.
For Mark to care that much to go outta his way like this is crazy it just shows me personally he’s more then just an NBA owner he genuinely cares about not just the players on his team and the coaches and staff but he cares about people in general all u need is for someone to believe in you and try your best to do the work I know the NBA isn’t as physical as football but they still need to come up with medical treatments and plans to get some of these players who do struggle with depression anxiety mental disorders help Metta World Peace talked about it Kevin love talked about it DeMar DeRozan talked about it it’s ridiculous how they don’t have plans in place for things like this right now and not just for current players but FORMER PLAYERS AS WELL
Do you know that you can make up to $15,000 daily in bitcoin mining directly to your bitcoin wallet, bank account or any withdrawal details you wish to
Delonte is a amazing human so humble and kind
Prayers out to you bro. Stay strong 💪🏾
Rooting for you D West you got this brother
