Wests travails– which include strange behavior, cash concerns, a 2009 altercation with the law and a 2008 medical diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder that West later on questioned– have actually been well-documented because he signed up with the NBA in 2004.
According to
TMZ, Cuban has been trying to get in contact with West after a picture emerged on social media of him panhandling at a crossway in Dallas recently.
West played three seasons in Boston before ending up being a journeyman, taking the court for the Seattle SuperSonics, Cleveland Cavaliers, the Celtics once again and the Dallas Mavericks.
After his 2011-12 season with the Mavs, West hung around in the NBA G League and in expert leagues in China and Venezuela.
CNN has actually not had the ability to independently validate the picture.
Following a stellar junior season in which he led the Saint Josephs Hawks to a 30-2 record and a deep run into the 2004 NCAA Tournament, the Boston Celtics took West late in the preliminary of the NBA Draft.
