Ok sure
Most of us are a Paycheck away from homelessness. Stay in prayer!
Learn how to control yourself and your money. This problem becomes manageable to non existent.
yea or pray to me both are fine :)
True 😔
Your not homeless if you can live off the land.
@स्वदेशी गौरव So true . Many people in Haiti where I come from are just stressfree . No pressure to pay rent, lot of bills, and they plant their own stuff
Hardest thing for a man to say, "i need help".Respect him for that and for LeBron offering help even after that incident with his mom
true
Im your 100th like
Easiest thing is asking for help from the universe and god will provide
*you have to help out your step dad*
I made a diss on black females
I was homeless on the streets of Minneapolis for five years. Getting the strength to pull myself out of that situation was the hardest thing I've ever done. And, I'm obviously not famous... so, I can't even imagine trying to do it while the eyes of the whole world are watching. Much respect to him for taking the first steps. 🤙👏

I know life isn't easy I lived with kids in the streets too it's frustrating and sometimes you just want to give up I try to think we're going in my mind like to suicide myself but then I have to do it for my kids and I got up and start working harder life is getting hard right right now that the rents are going up and everything's going up on groceries single mother with kids but I'm trying and let's see what's next for us what goes on in life ..🥲mental illness is horrible
That’s why all owners need to be like Cuban. He genuinely cares for his players and people no matter what is status is. People like him and Keanu Reeves stay humble no matter what.
@dakota haro I hear what your saying but we all do some type of drug whether legal or illegal so we can use that argument. Also, people like this really go through things that we don’t know about and sometimes they just need to talk about it. We all see homeless people and for a lot of us, we treat them as less than. We are all human beings and we must also remember that none of us are immune to the trials and tribulations of life. We all fall down but we can get up, even if it’s hard.
@dakota haro well I don’t smoke or drink either but the drugs I’m referring to are prescription drugs, which are just as deadly. Now if you don’t take any of those things(even aspirin) that’s a great thing for you but for anyone who does including myself, they also rob you of your true emotions. My take on this situation is as I’ve said before, we are all human beings and no matter what our status is to another, there’s no reason for us to have our brothers and sisters down. We can tell people what to do with any opportunity but just give him an opportunity as Mark Cuban did
Except the national anthem 🤣
Agree
@dakota haro I'm sorry but u do know drugs can trigger mental illness right?? It doesnt matter how or why he ended up like that all that matters is that he gets back on his feet.
When "life" happens...your either gonna fold or come back stronger than before. Prayers for him and his health 🙏
It wasn't his fault his parents divorced and he was born in poverty in violence. But it was his fault he did not move on with his past. Playing with LeBron and making very unethical actions...... That was his fault. Doing drugs and getting involved with crimes and gangs... That was his fault. If only he moved on, he could be very successful now
Excuses

Agreed. Really sad because he took a bad path in his childhood, good path in the NBA, then another bad path as being homeless. For now, he's alright and I wish him the best of luck on the rest of his life.

I’ll never forget when he came to our restaurant here in D.C. He was polite and left a generous tip to our staff. To learn that he has bipolar disorder is sad, because it’s such so difficult to handle. A bipolar personality can be a danger to themselves and others and should never be alone. Prayers for Delonte!

@@Goodboy38581 child the Universe hopefully will teach you some lesson as you grow older!

Hope you learned those life lessons sooner than later!
Unless you’ve been in his shoes you’ll never understand why, mentally he was drained, plus he had the addiction disease I’m thankful he still had friends with the means to truly help him
He went through it all for a real reason. Now hopefully he got his act together to better himself.

Biggest fear is becoming homeless sitting by gas station just seeing happy people walk past me while I think about all my memories I had with my friends and family
yeah, I know what you mean.
work and save brother, work and save for harder times.
It should be ur worst fear. Thsts some of the scariest times, and u dont realize how things such as a bed of shower...or even a clean blanket, how they can be taken for granted.
( clean and sober since 2018, lived in the woods and behind stores from 2012 to 2015.)
@Parker Lewis. I have that same dread. Best to get it out your mind or it may become a reality.
Yeah trust me its ruff been there.
Yes that's all it is memories. Could've lasted if he kept his feet on the ground.
This melted my heart! It shows everyone that addiction along with mental health is real and it is not bias to age, gender, race, or money.

Crazy how all his “friends” posted him to get attention but didn’t meant to really help him. The good thing is to understand that no one has your back like you no one will push you like yourself. I been told no but i don’t let it bring me down i just push more and all the love you need is yourself.
Hey Botas, are you aware of the ongoing COVID 19 relief bonus with core capital investment
It's very true, you can have all the friends in the world try to support you, no one will push you like yourself.
Those are beautiful words!
Your downfall is not everybody's fault in life you have choices
What are u on about man he obviously cared they were friends since high school stop assuming stuff

Couldn’t imagine being homeless holding a cardboard begging fir money when you once were a NBA player that was decent. It’s gods gift he’s still alive. Lot People with mental health issues and drug habits would have taken their Life I’m sure. I’ve had 2 friends who went from having Almsot anything they wanted and drugs got the them and they could take it and took their own life. It still bothers me to this day ans this was 2 and 7 years ago. Suicide is not the answer. Youre still important and there people who love you I guarantee it
Thank you for that

Thank u bro
@@idg4819 wat?
People who commit suicide are selfish. That's all that is to it.
I'm so glad that those he played with reached out to help him.. . They truly cared about him.
I hope he stays well. Ive been a homeless junkie in my life so i can understand the feeling of hopelessness. Now i have a job and custody of my daughters and have been clean since May 27 2016
Edit: I thank each and every one of u that took the time to say these kind words ❤. Just reading these give me even more strength. I am and always will be taking it 1 day at a time. ❤ u all.
congrats on doing well man that’s really awesome to hear!
Congrats!
Great Job Keep Going bro!! Congratulations

Good job getting your life together
I'm so happy Delonte got the help he needed. the fact that there was so many ppl reaching out to him with love and support after he hit rock bottom was so touching
In October 2021, West was in the news again, after being arrested for banging on the doors of a Florida police department, and insulting officers while holding two open containers of alcohol.
And there is no helping him back again to the streets 😂

I respect you for this comment. Dios te bendiga.
I really enjoyed this video! Delonte came along ways. Was at the top and bottom. Mental health is so important. I’m glad to see he got his life together.
This is beautiful that everyone came together to help him. It's hard to say you need help and people can offer it, but it's up to you to actually go through it. Nobody can help you if you don't want to help yourself.
Truth. I'm currently going through this with a close family member. You offer all the help but until he says hes ready for help there is nothing you can do
Wow what a gut wrenching story ,just to try making its so hard for some .😌
You are right, and people will used you up until all of your wealth is gone, and they will disappear on you

Thank God that he accepted the help he so needed. I commend the people in his life for coming together to track him down and assist him with getting help. You can want all you want for your loved ones but they have to be able to accept help is needed. Let us continue to check in on our loved ones folks are not ok and support is needed❤
yeah sadly it often comes down to money if some1's injured to even try to help them, but even if u have the money it's still a question of whether or not they have the mental to accept the help they need.. my grandma was barely getting out of bed in her final years n she did often drink rakiq. has had lots of operations to leg/belly

Smart to learn from your mistakes,
But better, to learn from other people's misfortunes.
Experience is the best teacher, lessons learned thru trial and error are the ones that truly make us better people.
@@chosenone2926 for real man
Mistake?? He bipolar
Delonte was not psycho it's because he felt no one cared and loved him in his life. He is a good person that needed help... Because someone cared and went out of his way to find him. He got back up on his feet... Bravo to Mark for saving him...
Can i be his woman, wife or girlfriend?
Perfectly said♥️
I Love to see a happy ending he deserves to be happy we all do
marks a good dude
Mark's actions to help him speaks volumes to his character. I'm happy to see Delonte was doing well. I hope he still is to this present day. Your in my prayers Delonte.
he wasn't strong enough to deal with emotions, and let him ruin his career and life. his situation is hard but i think all he needed was love , support, and help (up to him if he wants to accept it ) much love to D,West
I feel that way
@Genoy B Right! Very ignorant comment.
Yeah most people are ignorant and only demonize the outbursts caused by mental health issues
Maybe theres a reason as to why he developed this disorder.
It's the sad reality that mental health issues effect us all, and that usually the ones that you think have it all can be struggling just to make it from day to day. As someone that has fought with mental health issues their entire life I can completely understand and it shows the extreme difficulty it is just to find help you need. I have a wonderful family and children, a good job, etc but it doesn't change the fact that I have a daily battle with my own mind. This was a powerful and touching video, stay strong everyone...
Mark Cuban and everyone who had reached out to help him, are angels. It's not always about money.

I met Mark Cuban back in 2001. He kept a helicopter out at the Addison airport. I was working in aviation maintenance back then. He would see us working and come up and talk to us. He treated us the same as anyone else. He didn't let his ego get the best of him. One day, it was cold outside and he had to open the hangar doors to get his helicopter out. He bought us all donuts because he felt bad for having to let the heat out of the hangar. He's done some things recently that has aggravated me a little bit, but I still think Mark Cuban is a great guy with a big heart....

What's wrong working with Home Depot? Happiness is not money. It is health and tranquility. Looks like the NBA drove him to greater instability. I think working at HD showed his heart is in the right place.

I don't care for basketball. But I love this. It's a perfect example of how CRUEL life can be, and how GOOD people can be. And I love the ultimate message, don't be afraid to ask for or accept help
Right on, life can be cruel but people dont have to.
He did it to himself! His attitude was the problem.
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
- (AMPLIFIED version)
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.
Thanks guys for helping him out god bless all of you
As a person with bipolar I know exactly what he going through I lost many opportunities for my behavior . At this point in the game I've learned to be grateful for whatever opportunities I get 🙏. I quit lashing out on ppl sometimes with the mania you can be extremely over zealous . I just let people be work and get out the way hangout in my home and remember to be grateful cause it can always be worst . Climbing steadily saving my money. Doing the right things and maintain positive ppl around and protecting my energy
Pls dont make kids If you re bipolar
@@vato6815 I'm fkn nuts...1 kid...she's crazier than me and I'm a menace. Sorry
@@vato6815 this comment seems rough, but I think i know what it is about. There is a good chance that the kids of a bipolar or any other mental illness can get that same illness too and if you are mentally ill or have problems you may have problems caring for those kids and them having the same problems would be really bad.
I am also bipolar plus all other things that come with it the hard part is actually some years back.
I never want to have kids and risk to spread my bad genes and cause trouble
Yep, I'd been an all A student got diagnosed, and failed 11th grade missed a ton school. Now Im in 12th grade trying to clean up my manic mess. Very fortunate to have learned about my illness now though rather than as an adult.
@@thagodwecreate5179 That is neither of your guy's fault. My fathers bipolar put me through years of trauma, along with me being diagnosed myself. I recognize that it is an illness and there is no-one to blame. You are not a menace, just someone who suffers from a brain disorder that is strong enough to overcome the challenges. Wanting to have a kid while suffering a genetic chronic illness is not a crime, it is natural to want kin of your own. Just be prepared to help them get through the challenges they may face.
I don't care who you are, drugs can ruin your life and this sort of thing happens more often than people realize. It is sad to watch friends or family lose it all because of an addiction.
Binging is normalized and some survive heavy use for a while. Some don't. Wonder how much is due to alcohol? The list of things drinking causes is endless Wikipedia
What drugs?? Did you not hear he was bipolar?
@@intersellarodyssey He was doing prescription drugs too
It's quite obvious that he had a problem well beyond being bipolar you can see the degration in his pictures over the years he was definitely using drugs and using them hard Wake up
@@intersellarodyssey you think he got that way due to being bipolar? Wake up, only drug and Alcohol abuse ruin your body like that.
From a person who struggles with bipolar disorder too I know how hard it is to except the help offered and to maintain a stable balanced life! I’m proud of you Delonte! I pray for your strength and happiness!!! I also pray that you continue to receive the blessings you deserve ♥️
Accept*
@@chikenialivingston8847 @Chikenia Livingston yes, that's right, accept, even people's misspelling when the context of obvious. Make no exception to your acceptance and read the message not the delivery. Mrs Hill and her prayers are lovely, be like Mrs Hill.
No drugs involved? There must be.... Bi polar my arse. Everyone is abit bi polar, it didn't even exist 30years ago untill there was a name for it. Thats the power of language I guess.
Hello Mrs Hill......
Impressed that LeBron offered to help him after what happened. That was class and he didn’t need to do that. As always, utmost respect to Mark Cuban, that man really cares about his team.
Cuz he's lebrons dad
And the ending of that video is what makes it worth watching till the end.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been and how low you’ve gotten, what matters is that help was offered to you and you took it and in return it bettered your life.
Thank you Lord for another chance.
He’s DEFINITELY an inspiration.
"Mental illness is a hell" - 100% agree
Mark Cuban is an angel from heaven for helping Delonte. This story made me cry. Wow. Guardian angels did their jobs and prayers held him from the enemies hands. Thank God for his life.
This was a really well done video! I'm so inspired! =)
as someone that’s faced homelessness and mental health issues everyday of my life this really hits close to home, it’s ok to ask for help everyone.
Well done Mark and the many others who cared. Everybody needs somebody, sometimes!
FACTS 💯💯💯,,,,, LIFE CHANGES ALL THE TIME.....😳😳😳😆😳😳💯💯💯
Ppl qqq
Bro your words speak volumes and literally made me cry. Thank you for posting this! ❤🙏
True fam!!
Some people have to much pride to ask for help even if their homeless or one step away from homelessness.
eh he is homeless again last seen in virginia
This is what happens when you've got no support system, and the people benefiting from your talents have no foundations to offer you.
Exactly 💯
Could not have said this any better, this reminded me of my college days, how I fought so hard to make it out, just felt like everyone was as against me, no family, friends, support, the injuries, no outlet, besides school and the sport... ugh I never wanted to feel that way again... didnt make it to his level... but I know what it felt like .
Man that's a sorry cop out for not taking responsibility.
Thank you for posting my thoughts!
💯
Please pray for this man, we all need prayed for
Mark Cuban has a heart and I thank him for reaching out to this young man. 🙏🏾🙌🏾😭
I've gained some much respect for Mark Cuban. Stuff like this gives me hope in this fucked up world.
Except he's a shill for the CCP.
Bruh he did so u people would praise him…if he had a heart he would’ve helped delonte sooner
@@zowiewowie4458 🤡
@@zowiewowie4458 but he didn’t know about it, he helped delonte as soon as he got to know about it, think before you’re saying something
Crazy life but I’ll tell you one thing, everything that man had, the money, mansion and being a nba star, he doesn’t miss any of that. That smile at the end said it all.
lol please
Hahahaha 😂
Look man ik what you tryna say and to some degree, I agree "money can't by happiness" but ik damn well that man wants cash. 😂
K
Money can’t buy happiness but it’s definitely better to have than to be broke on the streets
This literally made me cry. Mark Cuban is an amazing man for going out of his way to help this man.
Mark is a legit good guy. And an intelligent guy and a levelheaded guy and a sincere guy. And he's actually completely self-made; didn't inherit (and squander) his money from his dad. Wish it had been him in 2016 instead of He Who Must Not Be Named.
@@goombapizza6335 you obviously know nothing about Trump. Yes he was fortunate to inherit wealth from his family, but he also was very successful as a real estate developer for many years, as was his father.
@@gato7908 still was a sh*t president tho
It's great to see his teammates aren't leaving him behind. The NBA is a brotherhood and should not let this happen to former players.
