“Delonte West blew away $20 Million and his career on…”: How LeBron James’ former teammate’s life was swept away by drugs, mental illness, and so much more

How former teammate of LeBron James, Delonte West blew away all his money and his career in the NBA

LeBron James has had a long, long career in the NBA.

During the different ups and downs in his league life, the King had the pleasure (and sometimes displeasure), to play with a whole range of teammates.

Players such as Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis stand as the most famous, because of their ability on the court. But, what about a certain other teammate of the man’s that is famous… just not quite for his ability on the basketball court.

We’re talking about Delonte West, a man who was with James on the Cavaliers during his initial stint there. And well, let’s just say, the turn his life took after he got into the NBA isn’t the most heart-warming story of all time.

This is the tale of Delonte West.

Yep, we’re guessing now you remember.
