Former NBA Player Delonte West Balls In Florida Livestream Amid Recovery Journey: ‘Unc Still Got It’
Professional sports are the ultimate goal for many young people around the globe. However, that life isn’t always all it’s made out to be. Take former NBA player Delonte West’s story under consideration. West was once a valuable role player in the NBA and even found himself slotting in next to LeBron James before he went off to Miami, Florida. However, mental health, substance-use, and financial issues plagued what could have been a very promising basketball career.
Things would really take a turn for Delonte West in 2009 after the infamous motorcycle Incident. West was stopped by law enforcement while riding his motorcycle. He was then found with multiple firearms and later found guilty of weapons charges, but did not face prison time. What followed this was years of substance abuse and homelessness for the former basketball player. However, recently, things seem to have really turned around for Delonte West. He was just seen on a Florida livestream with the streamer N3ON and showcased some serious moves.
Fans Reacts To Delonte West’s Florida Livestream Appearance
During the livestream, West and N3ON played a friendly game of one-on-one. However, West completely picked the streamer apart without even dribbling the ball. West showcased that despite his age and long time in retirement, he still has the skills to get the job done on a basketball court.
Sports fans around the globe would then chime in via X to leave behind their own thoughts regarding West’s moves, as well as his life in general. “Those drugs didn’t take everything, Unc still got it,” said one. “He is better than Podz is right now,” joked another. Someone else then wrote, “Hear me out.. Mike Beasley, Delonte West, and Lamar Odom on a Big 3 team.” Finally, one last person’s comment also read, “Whether there are cameras there or this is just for content, it makes me happy to see Delonte West on video in this environment instead of the homeless videos.”
Throughout the entirety of the Florida livestream, Delonte West can be seen smiling and appearing to generally have a good time. This may be a sight for sore eyes for some sports fans that have followed his story, and maybe this time around all of this will stick. Fans of Delonte West, or just sports in general, can all rejoice with this man seemingly doing better, and hopefully, it only continues to get better for him.
