Serious though, why did you jump right to homeless...just based off of this picture?

Unless he's like a week or 2 into living outdoors...that ain't it.

And he's been rumored to have been panhandling before, IIRC. Or maybe those were disproven. I don't remember.

Still, most big cities in America simply don't take care of those struggling with financial and mental issues. West has documented mental issues, and many former players have financial issues. So even if he's not homeless, it sadly wouldn't be a surprise.

Can't speak to the insurance plan, but my health insurance provides for mental health.

pics have been making their way around, some of which are definitely kinda old, others which may not be. one cat said he heard he has gotten some help. another dude who lives around delonte's way said people see him in the street all the time and he looks kinda rough. someone should track him down and do some real journalism on this. also clear up for once/for all if he smashed lebron's mom or not and buy dude a r-r-r-rrr-r-r-r-raz-berry iced teeeeeeeeeeeeea

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

he's from the area that i grew up in, to see what has happened to him is very sad.
i knew he had mental health/societal issues and it's too difficult for some people to
cope.

in the dc area because they don't feel like they have a home.

and growing up in that environment, eventhough he's made money. it's not really
his...you know, his country. i know the crew he hung with, young black guys that
had access to money/parents had money, knew they were going to be richer than
they were....nice clothes, nice cars, grew up in the better parts of pg county. lots
of dysfunction (just like anywhere) in and around those houses.

In response to Reply # 10


          

I get dysfunction in families but not sure what that has to do with his situation given the money he has made.

I don’t know dude personally but it seems like he suffers from mental health issues.

I know some folks also love where they grew up and are loyal to a fault. I never judge folks who leave and don’t come back because they know the hood will take them under.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

or is paying for with his NBA money but he just chooses to live on the streets with his friends?

I'm not trying to be an asshole but I'm just really trying to understand where you're coming from with this.

I know of kids with well off parents that get caught up with drugs or whatever and live on streets at times but I thought his situation was different but I may be wrong.

I don't know his life story, and I have never walked in his shoes. I wouldn't wish this on any human being.

To see him get stomped like that over and over again is just beyond humane. In his weak state, I can't imagine that he harmed or assaulted the guy. That's the thing when you are in a weak state or homeless, there are people who will just attack you for no reason, just because they can. And that is how it appeared to me.


Clearly, he is suffering from some kind of health/mental condition, and should not be by himself or out on the streets. He is in no condition to care for himself.

Stories about him seem to pop up every once in a while and they are never good. Not sure where he is during the months that seem to go by where there are no stories. i have not brought myself to watch the video, but i can only imagine how bad it is.

but there was no reason for dude to stomp his head like that.. clearly he was out cold or down for the count.

More than likely West was talking crazy based off the arrest.

Hope he gets help.
