Delonte West Brags About Going Broke Multiple Times While Watching 30 For 30′s “Broke”
Delonte West has always been a colorful character, to say the least. In a way, the 8-year NBA veteran seems like a holdover from a bygone era in basketball where street culture was glorified. This is, after all, the man was was pulled over in 2009 on a three-wheeled motorcycle with a guitar case containing three guns. So it shouldn’t be surprising that Delonte West watched 30 for 30′s “Broke” defiantly, instead of nodding along at the cautionary tales of his peers. West bragged about going broke multiple times and bouncing back on Twitter.
Hell naw I ain’t gon be on no E60…homie I’m 10yrs in…counted a mill in all 2dollars bills before I turned 21…I den been broke got back

Of course, things aren’t so bad for Delonte these days. Just check out his view from across the street from the American Airlines Center.

By NBA standards, West hasn’t made that much. According to Basketball-Reference, West has earned just over $15 million in his career. West’s insistence on keeping it real has admittedly gone wrong before. If he’s still bragging about spending all his money at this point in his career, you have to wonder how bad (and how quickly) it will get when no one wants to pay him to play basketball anymore.

Delonte West is El Marachi?

It hurt my brain to read his tweets.

he’s not bragging, I don’t think. This guy is very candid, and also has admitted to mental illness. He’s a weird twitter follow because he’s not literate in the traditional sense. More in a phonic sense.
Also, he once spend 47 dollars on fried chicken and sides

I’d tell you the story, but it’s been printed over and over. They were his guns, but he was having to move them, because he got kicked out of where he was living.

NBA Street was a great game.
Also, you should write like this more often.

I lost my decoder ring for DeSean Jackson’s tweets, so I was forced to unfollow him.

That’s not frivolous spending, that’s wise investment in nutrients.

Funny, heard John Popper of Blues Traveler say the same thing about his arrest recently on Carolla’s podcast…

Not that he is not unilliterate.

Also, I had no idea CRM was literate in jive. Those tweets broke my brain.

Yeah, the time he was busted for having a shit ton of weapons in secret compartments in his vehicle.

Found a receipt in my pocket after Halloween (woke up in my costume) for $37 at a 711? How in the fuck do you spend $37 at 711? There was no evidence of purchases.

I’m surprised the tranny took credit cards for a bathroom blowjob.

ugh. I had to fill my gas can last night and my gas tank. 68 bucks.

Owning a car doesn’t seem like a very Soused think to do.
I’m guessing he bought cigarettes for someone else.
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:36 AM
I dropped $24 on Red Bull at 7/11 because it was the only place open. $37 doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch.
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:37 AM
No I don’t drive. It was a fuckton of beef jerky, taquitos, slushies, gatorade, chips of which none made it to my apartment. It’s an 800 metre (2600ft in obese gun wanking math) walk.
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:39 AM
My wife was out of gas and had to go to the track to run, so while she took my car and finished off the gas, I took her car down the street to fill up, and then she finished off the gas I was saving to get to work the next day, so I had to stop and fill that the next morning on the way to work. $100 in 12 hours on gas.
And as far as the gas can goes… nothing says “high gas prices” more than spending $10 to fill up the can for the lawn mower/blower.
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:39 AM
I was going to mention that it was also $37 Canadian…than I looked at the exchange rate. Guess it’s been a while since I’ve been north of the border.

Seems like an easy accomplishment for someone that drinks their dinner.

Yeah… same here. Last time I was in Canada was 2003, and shopkeepers would practically blow you for some shiny American greenbacks.
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Terrible, pouring booze money into a machine you have to operate sober? Fucking prison.
/Sad
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:44 AM
Last time I was in Canada was a year ago and I was there for six days. Made the mistake of not converting all my money on the first day, as the value of the dollar dropped while I was there.

I know I did a Photoshop of him as El Mariachi, but I have no idea where it is. This is still one of my favs.

Uh 200lbs 13% incline 2600ft and I assume staggering around, probably took a wrong turn at some point. Fuck man, you tell me.

Found the last 3 six packs of Blackstone Pumpkin Ale in existence. It’s absolutely fantastic. I missed out a few weeks ago because the “month” supply in stores only lasted 4 days. They make awesome ales, if you ever happen to be in the greater Nashville area.

Only considering vertical change as work, you only get credit for 2600ft*whatever the sin of 13% is.
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:51 AM
Glad I’m not the only one who buckles his beer in.
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:54 AM
The worst part of his tweets was using 4 dots …. Everyone knows you only use 3
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:54 AM
Your pumpkin ales are small and useless. 650ml at 5.4%. We have another that size but 9%, although our beer is expensive as balls.
Math is always keeping the drinking man down.

My first time, but this is valuable cargo. Took me 2 weeks and most of my ‘anytime minutes’ to find.

I used to be able to get six Lone Star longnecks for $3.99. Those were the days.

I took the last three I found at Harris Teeter on 21st. You may have luck at a Kroger, but I had none. Mt. Juliet Beer Store said they can fill growlers up of it, also.
October 3rd, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Cute puppy but where is the boozing? I don’t get it, it’s just a picture of the dog? Is the booze off camera? Is the booze hidden Waldo style in the picture?
My hands are broken and retarded looking, think George from Mice and Men.

Wow. Just…wow.
October 3rd, 2012 at 11:10 AM
I had one Pumpkin Ale last night Soused. Tuesday isn’t a big drinking night for me. I did give a little bit to the puppy, and she enjoyed it after a rousing game of me throwing the tennis ball and watching her slide on the tile past it and crash into the wall.
October 3rd, 2012 at 11:24 AM
throwing the tennis ball and watching her slide on the tile past it and crash into the wall.
One of the three best things about dogs. They will get that ball no matter how slippery a surface they have to cross to get it. God bless ‘em.

I am amazed at what a complete moron this so-called person ‘Delonte West’ is.
Is this just an act, to seem cool to his rapper crowd or is this the true level of his intelligence???
If this is his IQ level then he is a touch above the apes in his ability to express himself……if I were the GM of his team I would fire him at once just due to the disgusting nature of his comments and the image he projects…..he is s disgrace to anything pretending to be human.
And as a fan I would never ever buy a ticket to a team that employs such ‘inhuman morons’ as this friggen joke pretending to be human…..what a waste of a living creature he is!
God forbid he is a role model to the younger fans which I am afraid he probably is…..for this alone he should be banned from basketball at ANY level..

“u can’t take it (money) wit cha” – that’s true, but instead of spending it on rims and hookers you could give it to your future kids. novel idea, i know.
