Despite his talents, Delonte West’s mental illness and what some call “antics” have left him without a job in the NBA. He took his talents to China where he’s been successful but the NBA is where he feels he belongs.
West took his talents to China after he was unable to land an NBA gig last year. He’s been successful in the CBA for sure, but he’s itching to play at the highest level once again. Two seasons absent from the League are two seasons too many for Delonte West.
I ask if basketball was still fun over there, and if it’s still fun in general. “Basketball’s always fun,” he says, “but I like to play at the highest level. And that’s why the NBA is where I belong.”
The question now is will a team be willing to take a chance on him.
