Delonte West: his name should have gone on the record books as one of the best in the NBA.

But the star has faced serious struggles with addiction and mental illness, still living on the streets of Dallas and near death on a daily basis.

Billionaire Mark Cuban refused to give up on the star player, and over the years, he has intervened and encouraged West to keep his nose clean and keep going in the right direction. From the looks of it … Cuban’s help has fallen on deaf ears.

A new video from a young child meeting West this week shows there is no hope.
