Delonte West finally back to shooting hoops in a gym in Florida

Months after being spotted on the streets earlier this year, former NBA star Delonte West is finally on his way to picking up the pieces. In September, some fans saw West asking for money in Dallas, which raised concern among the NBA community. While many reports spoke about the NBA community wanting to help him, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was the one who could, ultimately, reach out. Since then, the 62-year-old business tycoon has been providing timely updates about West's situation.

The most recent video shared by a fan was at a gym in Florida – which is where West is staying for his rehab. The fan even shared a selfie with the star, along with a video of the 37-year-old practising some shots. "Really nice to see this legend living a better life again and throwing the ball again," the fan wrote, adding that West definitely deserves it. 

Others on Instagram and Twitter agreed, glad the former NBA star is getting back on his feet. "I hope his story ends great," one wrote, while most expressed how happy they were. A user even chose to make a joke, stating how Ben Simmons would feel after seeing West make a jump shot even after such a hiatus.
