Delonte West: Just Mood On With It

Found October 20, 2008 on InGameNow:
PLAYERS: Delonte West
TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers

Those who know me know that I'm not the type to make fun of anyone, especially not when they're trying to better themselves . . . which brings me to Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West. He's been MIA for a while (for those of you who've even noticed) because he's suffering from a mood disorder. Yes, I said mood disorder, you don't need to go back and re-read that. All right, go ahead, I'll wait . . . Read the Rest, Follow Jump:

  • Wow-who are you to be passing judgement on Delonte or any individual who has the guts and maturity to admit they're having a problem and then get help???? And as for his shooting-in your dreams you could ever be a speck as good as he is-hey bozo can you cut it in the NBA??

  • Very well said jmjlev. Mood disorders are nothing to laugh at, nor do they make you any less of a person. Often times one is genetically inclined to suffer from one because they can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Delonte is more of a man than you are obviously since he can admit his faults. Not to mention that the man hasn't had an easy life, overcoming a lot to reach such an amazing success!! He's a great player and a "jack of all trades" on the court. He & Lebron are great together and he's a lead scorer.

  • It takes a strong person to admit that they have a problem. I give you props Delonte for admiting and taking care of the problem. You show your maturity very well. You are an awesome player and off the court I am sure you carry yourself very well. Everyone loves you. Lots of LOVE Tee

Which Cav makes more than LeBron?

In the natural order of things in professional sports, the highest-paid player gets the most scrutiny from the first day of the season on. That is not the case for the Cavaliers, which is a refreshing change for the man in question. Ben Wallace will earn $14.5 million this season, about $100,000 more than LeBron James, but he's been able to operate in relative anonymity. After...
