The video of Delonte West dancing has received millions of views online. It's further proof that the former Boston Celtics guard is still struggling to get his life together. Mark Cuban tried to help him, but it appears that West did not want to be helped.
"It's a struggle for him," Cuban said in October 2022. "Addiction is awful. And mental illness is awful. He's at the point in his life where he's got to want to be helped."
The former player has entered rehab several times, but to no avail. He even tried to return to basketball with the Big 3 league in 2022. However, that did not work out.
