Honestly, I get scared when I just see his name as the topic. I'm always hoping it's not a 'gone way too soon' that I missed. I am always praying for people with mental health issues.
Keep going in the right direction DW.

Nice to see, you can thank Mark Cuban for getting him the help that was desperately needed for Delonte. Hope he overcomes his issues, mental illness is a very serious problem in this world.

Especially an illness like bipolar disorder where you have to stay on your meds. So many think they have it under control and do not realize the meds are what is doing that for them so they stop taking them. Couple that with substance abuse and you have a ticking time bomb.

What a turnaround. I hope he can maintain it. The videos of him on the street were scary and heartbreaking.

People don’t understand that one part of mental illness is that it makes them think they’re ok & don’t need the meds anymore. I have a relative with mental issues and his doctor explained it to us that way. It’s literally an ongoing battle keeping them on their meds, especially when their disease is telling them to dump it.

Assuming Delonte isn't allowed to actually play defense. Yes, @Kolumbo will certainly score 20

Good to hear.
