'I'M NOT ABOUT THAT LIFE ANYMORE' - DELONTE WEST

[Andrew]

Here's former NBA player Delonte West -- looking worse for wear out in Houston earlier this week.

It's actually a sad story ... the person who shot the photo is a huge basketball fan and said they noticed the former 1st round draft pick wandering around outside of a Jack in the Box around 10 PM all by himself with no shoes.

When the fan approached him and asked, "Are you Delonte West?" -- he replied, "I used to be but I'm not about that life anymore."

We tried contacting West to find out if he's okay -- and even reached out to his old agent -- but we couldn't get in touch with him.

Very sad to hear.
Mental illness isn’t something that’s ever really ’cured’, and I bet his NBA money has long dried up by now.

Support system is everything. As someone who has battled depression my entire life, I am praying for Delonte. The people who he associated with probably dried up when the money did. Now hes left with nothing. I wish their was something we could do for him as fans.

Apparently he had walked out of a medical facility when the video was taken...i didn't even notice he was wearing a hospital gown. Glad he's getting help. Good guy...but a cursed guy.

Delonte West was discombobulated on the streets of Houston last month because he was on the wrong medication and left his treatment facility while hallucinating ... but now he's on the road to recovery.

the photos surfaced last month.

Now, one of West's close friends tells us ... he wants people to know the 32-year-old is receiving treatment for his bipolar disorder thanks to quick action from friends, family, the NBA and his former agent.

"Delonte was at a facility where he received the wrong medication. He began hallucinating. Because of the hallucinations he walked out of the facility, barefoot, in the hospital gown. He went to go get food. That's when he was video taped and photographed."

We're told West is now in a different facility -- and people close to him are confident Delonte is currently getting the proper care he needs and deserves.

Nice to know the situation was alot less severe than many has feared in terms of him not being a strung out kinky out looking for a fix at some ungodly hour.
Its good to know he is getting help just so happened there was a hiccup

Just Glad that he didn't get hurt during the incident

And while we to get worked up into a frenzy on these boards about millionaires playing a children's game a situation like this puts things into a more sobering perspective.
