Most of us are a Paycheck away from homelessness. Stay in prayer!
Learn how to control yourself and your money. This problem becomes manageable to non existent.
yea or pray to me both are fine :)
True 😔
Your not homeless if you can live off the land.
@स्वदेशी गौरव So true . Many people in Haiti where I come from are just stressfree . No pressure to pay rent, lot of bills, and they plant their own stuff
This made me cry. Imagine how painful it must have been for him to remember his wealthy NBA days, while he was sitting outside at a cold night homeless.
100th like!
Some certain outcomes are definitely his faults. Not saying that he is not the victim of what he has went through, actually many of us have went through depression and bipolar disorder, some are even worse then his. But, despite the sad part, we all ought to learn from his mistake that we wont make same mistakes in our lives.
Sad bro.
It is hard
It was his fuckin fault...
I was homeless on the streets of Minneapolis for five years. Getting the strength to pull myself out of that situation was the hardest thing I've ever done. And, I'm obviously not famous... so, I can't even imagine trying to do it while the eyes of the whole world are watching. Much respect to him for taking the first steps. 🤙👏
Hope you make a full recovery dude. Good luck man!!! 😁
@@tylerherro5188 Thank you, I really appreciate that. 😌
I don't know you but I'm very proud of you. Always keep you're head up, and stay focused, you deserve all the best that life can offer👍♥️🙏Stay strong, 💪
@@poshcreativesensationz3655 Thank you, very much. When strangers give people compliments and encouragement, it gives me hope that there is still a chance for our civilization, you know? Have a good night/day wherever you are? 😉
@@grahamnalepa4622 You are so very welcome🙏❤️
As a person with bipolar I know exactly what he going through I lost many opportunities for my behavior . At this point in the game I've learned to be grateful for whatever opportunities I get 🙏. I quit lashing out on ppl sometimes with the mania you can be extremely over zealous . I just let people be work and get out the way hangout in my home and remember to be grateful cause it can always be worst . Climbing steadily saving my money. Doing the right things and maintain positive ppl around and protecting my energy
Pls dont make kids If you re bipolar
@@vato6815 I'm fkn nuts...1 kid...she's crazier than me and I'm a menace. Sorry
@@vato6815 this comment seems rough, but I think i know what it is about. There is a good chance that the kids of a bipolar or any other mental illness can get that same illness too and if you are mentally ill or have problems you may have problems caring for those kids and them having the same problems would be really bad.
I am also bipolar plus all other things that come with it the hard part is actually some years back.
I never want to have kids and risk to spread my bad genes and cause trouble
Yep, I'd been an all A student got diagnosed, and failed 11th grade missed a ton school. Now Im in 12th grade trying to clean up my manic mess. Very fortunate to have learned about my illness now though rather than as an adult.
@@thagodwecreate5179 That is neither of your guy's fault. My fathers bipolar put me through years of trauma, along with me being diagnosed myself. I recognize that it is an illness and there is no-one to blame. You are not a menace, just someone who suffers from a brain disorder that is strong enough to overcome the challenges. Wanting to have a kid while suffering a genetic chronic illness is not a crime, it is natural to want kin of your own. Just be prepared to help them get through the challenges they may face.
I ran into him at the airport a month ago.. He's looking way better and I'm glad to see the progress he's made....
He did?

I feel bad for any lost soul, every person on the street was someone’s baby once.
Say that..
Not "was". still is someone's baby
@@isiahgatson6125 facts
That woman gave birth to every person on the street wow
Dang that hit hard
Made me cry, for someone who struggles with mental health I can totally understand… glad he is getting the help he needs and the hardest part is maintaining it, I can’t, I hope he can…
Impressed that LeBron offered to help him after what happened. That was class and he didn’t need to do that. As always, utmost respect to Mark Cuban, that man really cares about his team.
Cuz he's lebrons dad
Feel horrible for him. It sucks that he went homeless. Rough childhood to depression to NBA player to homeless. I feel bad to DeLonte
I fèel bad to
Agreed. Really sad because he took a bad path in his childhood, good path in the NBA, then another bad path as being homeless. For now, he's alright and I wish him the best of luck on the rest of his life.
Messed up
@IBan_Bad_Girls it should be negative 0
This guy needs our prayers not videos dragging him through the mud. God bless you brother.
Hardest thing for a man to say, "i need help".Respect him for that and for LeBron offering help even after that incident with his mom
true
Im your 100th like
Easiest thing is asking for help from the universe and god will provide
*you have to help out your step dad*
I made a diss on black females
glad to hear people stepped up and helped. hope he continues his journey and stays happy
Mark , you and all that help will be blessed for all the help this young man needed.
That’s why all owners need to be like Cuban. He genuinely cares for his players and people no matter what is status is. People like him and Keanu Reeves stay humble no matter what.
@dakota haro I hear what your saying but we all do some type of drug whether legal or illegal so we can use that argument. Also, people like this really go through things that we don’t know about and sometimes they just need to talk about it. We all see homeless people and for a lot of us, we treat them as less than. We are all human beings and we must also remember that none of us are immune to the trials and tribulations of life. We all fall down but we can get up, even if it’s hard.
@dakota haro well I don’t smoke or drink either but the drugs I’m referring to are prescription drugs, which are just as deadly. Now if you don’t take any of those things(even aspirin) that’s a great thing for you but for anyone who does including myself, they also rob you of your true emotions. My take on this situation is as I’ve said before, we are all human beings and no matter what our status is to another, there’s no reason for us to have our brothers and sisters down. We can tell people what to do with any opportunity but just give him an opportunity as Mark Cuban did
Except the national anthem 🤣
Agree
@dakota haro I'm sorry but u do know drugs can trigger mental illness right?? It doesnt matter how or why he ended up like that all that matters is that he gets back on his feet.
His life seems cursed. Let’s bow our head and give this man a genuine prayer.
He got his life back together
No curse here man, it's mental health. It's very serious.
@@TheChocolatBlanc is there a link for the article?
@@TheChocolatBlanc nm.... this is why it is very important to watch the entire video.
@@TheChocolatBlanc He’s getting it together, he’s still has a long road ahead
wow what an incredible story! Depression is serious and what ive learned from watching this is that no matter what problems you face, you can overcome them by being around positive people and finding new hobbies and interest that make you happy
I really enjoyed this video! Delonte came along ways. Was at the top and bottom. Mental health is so important. I’m glad to see he got his life together.
When "life" happens...your either gonna fold or come back stronger than before. Prayers for him and his health 🙏
It wasn't his fault his parents divorced and he was born in poverty in violence. But it was his fault he did not move on with his past. Playing with LeBron and making very unethical actions...... That was his fault. Doing drugs and getting involved with crimes and gangs... That was his fault. If only he moved on, he could be very successful now
Excuses
Dub
Damn
@@Karen1234584 he wouldnt dare to reply back to you.
Unless you’ve been in his shoes you’ll never understand why, mentally he was drained, plus he had the addiction disease I’m thankful he still had friends with the means to truly help him
He went through it all for a real reason. Now hopefully he got his act together to better himself.
@@bryanhudson2801 if he is smart enough to learn from his mistakes, but what I hope that others learned from this as well as myself that rich people aren’t evil and they have hearts as well especially Mark Cuban and LeBron and really more love goes out to LeBron because he helped a man that might have messed with his mother and to turn the cheek to that really shows how good of a character LeBron has!!!!
@@elijahvandever7280 That's real talk bruh.... Lebron could've left him on stuck mode but he didn't, that's what make lebron real brother
You speaking facts bruh for real 💯
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
Thank God that he accepted the help he so needed. I commend the people in his life for coming together to track him down and assist him with getting help. You can want all you want for your loved ones but they have to be able to accept help is needed. Let us continue to check in on our loved ones folks are not ok and support is needed❤
There are absolutely no words to describe how hard it must have been to experience this. Absolutely HORRIBLE!!!
his fault...... imagine having 16 million dollars just to waste it all as a dumbasss. in norway that is 162 million kroners and that would make me and my family rich for generations

This melted my heart! It shows everyone that addiction along with mental health is real and it is not bias to age, gender, race, or money.
Hope he gets better. Mental health can be devastating. Good to see overwhelmingly level of support he is receiving. God Bless him.

They need to make a documentary about him this is so sad yet inspiring
Delonte deserves a documentary be made of his life. His story could inspire others. Mental health affects EVERYONE. Although treatment for mental health has greatly improved from the days of shock therapy & lobotomy, it is still so stigmatized. I've given 34 years service to adults with disabilities/mental health issues. I've learned so much and am blessed to have chosen this career path. I wish Delonte all the best.
This story deserves a movie.
That be a good movie
@@landonwin3523 yeah
NOPE
@@xrizbira why
nah this is good enough
He’s not forgotten. I think of him often. This could happen to anyone. I hope he stays on track truly recovers in life
Mental illness and drug addiction goes hand to hand..
Not if they had a good childhood. I'm sure he appreciates you thinking about him. Must help him a lot.
Thunk about me baby
@Peter Evans stop hating
Just imagine the poor people who never had a chance to be known who go through this every single day.
Sad what happened to this man is tragic, but it seems he's recovering well. I'm glad other players rallied around him.
It's the sad reality that mental health issues effect us all, and that usually the ones that you think have it all can be struggling just to make it from day to day. As someone that has fought with mental health issues their entire life I can completely understand and it shows the extreme difficulty it is just to find help you need. I have a wonderful family and children, a good job, etc but it doesn't change the fact that I have a daily battle with my own mind. This was a powerful and touching video, stay strong everyone...

Addiction is brutal my son is bipolar was on drugs and didn't want help for years once he was ready he reached out to family that never gave up on him, but were waiting for him to ask for it. He has been clean and sober for 6 years now and takes his medication as prescribed. So very proud of him.

The cure for bipolar disorder is a mayor ass whooping.
To be able to work at a rehab that you used to attend. That truly shows how strong delonte is.
He need to go to school and open up his own and he wont have to worry about the money he made in the NBA he would still make out good
Facts
@@imanjones4026 true but it also mostly cost money to go to college unless he can get grant money
I'm so glad that those he played with reached out to help him.. . They truly cared about him.
Your story on Delonte brought tears to my eyes. Thanks to all that helped him during his lowest point, and I pray that he continues to progress with his life.
Biggest fear is becoming homeless sitting by gas station just seeing happy people walk past me while I think about all my memories I had with my friends and family
yeah, I know what you mean.
work and save brother, work and save for harder times.
It should be ur worst fear. Thsts some of the scariest times, and u dont realize how things such as a bed of shower...or even a clean blanket, how they can be taken for granted.
( clean and sober since 2018, lived in the woods and behind stores from 2012 to 2015.)
@Parker Lewis. I have that same dread. Best to get it out your mind or it may become a reality.
Yeah trust me its ruff been there.
Yes that's all it is memories. Could've lasted if he kept his feet on the ground.
Mark Cuban a real one for that much respect man this brought tears to my eyes Fr
We love him as a owner here in Dallas for how he takes care of the players and his passion. Our only gripe is that sometimes he can be a bit egotistical or unwilling to go and get a big name.
I no sh*t hope he runs for President. I think the whole country could love him.

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies
The decision to invest is an acknowledgment that comes with certain risks. Not all investments will do well and some may lose money. However, without risk there would be no opportunity to potentially earn the higher returns that can help you grow your wealth.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate and stocks.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@nyreggie That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.

What's wrong working with Home Depot? Happiness is not money. It is health and tranquility. Looks like the NBA drove him to greater instability. I think working at HD showed his heart is in the right place.

Mark Cuban Christ. This guy has always cared about his players. LITERALLY
Cuban *
I met Mark Cuban back in 2001. He kept a helicopter out at the Addison airport. I was working in aviation maintenance back then. He would see us working and come up and talk to us. He treated us the same as anyone else. He didn't let his ego get the best of him. One day, it was cold outside and he had to open the hangar doors to get his helicopter out. He bought us all donuts because he felt bad for having to let the heat out of the hangar. He's done some things recently that has aggravated me a little bit, but I still think Mark Cuban is a great guy with a big heart....
Marbles the Microaggressive Cat i dont watch NBA, but damn he is a good man, bless him

@@mjrd1978 LOL exactly
My heart goes out to him. His childhood traumas are probably what caught up with him and he probably didn't even know he had trauma and needed help until it was too late. I hope he's still on his journey to recovery and is doing good.
This breaks my heart man. I loved him so much with the Celtics and Cavs. He was just different, loved watching him play! Glad to see something good, at least when this was made. Hope he’s still doing well. Wish him nothing but the best

Homelessness can strike anybody at any given time, regardless of how many pennies you have saved.
This could be any one of us. Last year I had a horrible mental breakdown also was poisoned by pharmaceuticals drugs. I am overcoming. Thanks to most high. So be careful.. Prayers for him 🙏
Oh my god. I hope you feel much better soon. Stay safe

It’s crazy cause I’ve seen him around Dallas a while ago and I never knew he was a nba player life sure is crazy
For real?
@@niklasvreseth2271 Yes. For real.
@@niklasvreseth2271 well there’s no point in lying but then again this is the internet.
damm I saw him the other day, I feel really bad
@E I was jus thinking that i seen cuz on forest lane i aint even kno
I'm glad he's doing good. Thx for the video. This was a great story.
God Bless Delonte and anyone who is going through it
Damn. I had no idea it got so bad. Actually delivered a pizza to him once (he was on the mavs at the time I believe) and he gave me my fattest tip of the night and was really friendly. I think the guy has a good heart deep down but just has some serious demons.
Well the ppl with good hearts are the ones who suffers nowadays they live life with feelings not with mind that’s why they choose the road of drugs when they’re feelings get hurts
@@noradrenaline2714 thanks for your input sir………….did the operation work?
@@noradrenaline2714 you’re making assumptions. Most people don’t use drugs because they “got their feelings hurt.”🤦🏻♂️ I’m glad you’re so removed from this reality that you would make such a ridiculous statement.
Most people start using drugs in social situations…parties, clubs, etc. They don’t tend to lean on drugs & toxic behavior as a crutch until after they are physically/mentally addicted.
Think logically. How many people who have never once done drugs go through a bad situation and think, “I need narcotics.”!?!? How does a person who’s never done heroin know where to even look?…how much to take without killing them selves?…how to actually administer said narcotics?…how?
It’s obvious you’re not an addict. I hope you never ever know the shame, guilt, self-hate, suicidal tendencies, etc….but that’s just not how things work in reality.
Addicts are generally already versed in this lifestyle and using substances before they even have the opportunity to use said narcotics as a crutch. Almost NOBODY who’s never used crack says, “I need to freebase,” because they had a bad day

God bless those people who helped saved his life. From the one who took the picture of him, to the people who spread the word, and to Mark Cuban. It's amazing to know how small help can lead to a bigger one, thus saving a life of a single person.
I made a diss in black femsles
So true
Think you for caring for him too
God bless him🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Great video, world needs more actual reporting like this.
God bless Him Bambi we love his talent and Empowerment.
Delonte was not psycho it's because he felt no one cared and loved him in his life. He is a good person that needed help... Because someone cared and went out of his way to find him. He got back up on his feet... Bravo to Mark for saving him...
Can i be his woman, wife or girlfriend?
Perfectly said♥️
I Love to see a happy ending he deserves to be happy we all do
marks a good dude
Mark's actions to help him speaks volumes to his character. I'm happy to see Delonte was doing well. I hope he still is to this present day. Your in my prayers Delonte.
I'm so happy Delonte got the help he needed. the fact that there was so many ppl reaching out to him with love and support after he hit rock bottom was so touching
In October 2021, West was in the news again, after being arrested for banging on the doors of a Florida police department, and insulting officers while holding two open containers of alcohol.
And there is no helping him back again to the streets 😂
I'd argue with you if you weren't so dam gorgeous!
Hey Dominique can I please get ur #
@@davidanthony7935 she aight
Never heard of this guy... happy for him
Thank goodness caring people cared.
man.. this just touched my heart again
This touche home, but at least he had people who actually cared for him.
@dionne We have people that care for us and yes Mark Cuban cares about his players and you can tell he does. Both me and you shouldn't give up. We might not think we have ppl and I bet there is a lot who don't care that's how I feel sometimes hang in there there is help
A lot of people don’t care.
