I remember Delonte, he's one of the guys that has ended up badly after having a successful career in the NBA. It's all about lifestyle and how they have handled their finances. People like him that the spotlight and lime career during his stay in the NBA will never be gone. I also remember Allen Iverson barely recover from his financial problem. And that's another fact you've said, while we're not wishing that there will be another bad story in the after-NBA career but it's very likely that one star on this era will end up badly if they don't become wise with their money.
Delonte West really is a prime example of how you can lose control despite having it all. Guy got money, a career, even supposedly slept with Lebron's mum
, and what is he now, a street bum. So sad, especially considering how many people tried to help him. When the news first came out about his downfall Marc Cuban helped him, checked him into rehab and everything looked promising. Then he even tried to get a spot in the Big3 league participating in a tryout (can be seen on youtube). Well, it all went bad again and he is back on the streets now, stoned out of his mind and looking worse than ever. Such a sad example. 
Too many help he's got to get back on his feet but none of those were able to help him to stand up again. The guy doesn't have control and regardless of how many help he's got, he just want to get back to the streets and become a bum again. Poor guy, there are many big guys willing to help him out but if it's too much, they won't help again if there is no develop seen. So close yet, wasted opportunities.
