Don't judge Delonte West


Delonte.... what's the deal? On Thursday, Delonte West was arrested in Maryland for gun charges. This story is priceless. So he's on a motorcycle, speeding down the highway when he cut off a police cruiser and got pulled over. Police found a handgun in his pocket, another in his pant leg, (brilliant) and a SHOTGUN that was in a GUITAR CASE strapped onto his back? I'm gonna stick up for him this one time, not really sure why though. Granted, Delonte is not the brightest individual.. but a shotgun in a guitar case? Really Delonte? If common sense wasn't part of his thought process, maybe the recent events with Plaxico Burress should have been. This is a great way to ruin a career, by getting pulled over with guns and/or shooting somebody or yourself. As if I needed to say it, Delonte clearly lacked good judgment and two things are very clear. First, he had three guns. (one in a guitar case) I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you don't need to be speeding on the freeway on your motorcycle three guns deep, one being a shotgun in a guitar case strapped to your back? Could just be me. What was Delonte West thinking? Maybe he just watched Once Upon A Time in Mexico and wanted to be Antonio Banderas, maybe he's just an idiot. Second, he was speeding on a crotch rocket. Ben Roethlisberger almost killed himself on one, and Kellen Winslow Jr. sat out an important season for the Browns after he crashed his, trying to do tricks in a parking lot. Cavs fans, welcome to the world of Delonte West. The man lives on another planet. All things considered, let's give Delonte another chance, and assume he was either on his way to the shooting range or a hunting expedition. Remember that Delonte has been dealing with depression and a mood disorder, which has haunted him for most of his life. Delonte we got your back, and so does LeBron. LeBron James is underrated
