Image Direct caught up with the former NBA Player, they asked Delonte how he was doing after the begging video went viral.

“I got children. I’m in between jobs. People can help me as much as they can, but you know, as a man I gotta do what I gotta do for my babies.”

As for the Big 3, West was thankful he got an opportunity.

“I was excited to have the opportunity,” West said, “I’ll be there next season. I’ll be there rooting guys on.”

“I’m always involved in the game I love. Last year, I was scouting for the Dallas Mavericks and the previous three years, I was an NBA scout for the Boston Celtics.

West added: “I was actually looking forward to being a head coach or assistant coach in the NBA this season but like I said, it’s a business that have a lot of people involved and wanna stay involved.”

“Prayerfully, luckily I’ll be up for discussion this upcoming season.”

Prayers up for Delonte!
