Yeah good luck with that guy in the video explaining to authorities that pro athletes kidnapped him to get him help and the authorities actually pursuing charges.


Alright well in that case why aren’t we rounding up all the homeless around town and tossing them in a mental health facility?

You can’t start collecting until 45.

Yeah he’s gonna want to want to be helped before it’ll ever get better.

I don’t really get this “blame the NBA” mentality. They gave him more resources than he would ever need. Trying to throw him in a mental health facility without him wanting help isn’t going to fix the issue at all.

Sounds like he needs help, I would assume he has money, with the NBA pension and all.
He definitely needs help. But he can't draw from the NBA pension until he's at least 45. And I'd bet he's completely broke. He made $16 million over 9 seasons (probably closer to $9 million after taxes) and has been out of the league for the past 7 years. Considering how many athletes end up broke soon after retirement and add in West's apparent major drug and/or mental issues, odds are high he spent everything he has.

Why is Lebron not giving Delonte the help and support needed? I mean this was his daddy once upon a time ago.

Dude it’s 2020 and we are in the height of the social media craze


SOMEONE has to accept the blame here and it more than likely won’t fall onto the shoulders of the guilty party
