Delonte West enjoys playing basketball again, and it does so successfully. The former NBA player, with numerous economic and psychological problems since his farewell to elite sport, continues his recovery process at 38 years old without losing the illusion of playing with the ball.
The former NBA player between 2004 and 2012 showed that he keeps his skills intact despite all the road traveled. A few years ago, Mark Cuban rescued his ex-pupil from a highway near Dallas, where the player was begging for money to eat and was sleeping homeless.
With a schizophrenia and signs of drug addictionseveral prominent figures in the league collaborated so that their former teammate detoxified and could start straightening the course towards a new life.
West’s good form allowed him to win a ticket to the final test to access the Big 3 basketball league in Las Vegas through a draft. Other players who have participated in this competition promoted by rapper Ice Cube and NBA legend Clyde Drexler are Joe Johnson, Leandro Barbosa, Josh Smith, Rashard Lewis y Nate Robinson.
