Over the past few years, West has been spotted at Houston, in the Washington DC area and now downtown Dallas. Only a few days back, news began circulating that the former Celtics and Cavs guard is bankrupt.
It was reported that Doc Rivers was interested in helping him get his life back on track.
West played for 7 years in the NBA, averaging 9.7 points per game during his time with the Cavs, Sonics, Celtics and Mavericks. The 6’4″ guard was part of the consensus best college backcourt in the country along with Jameer Nelson in his junior year.
