It is widely known that West, unfortunately, has battled with mental health issues for many years, dating back to when he was a teammate of LeBron James’ in Cleveland during the first decade of this century.
He has reportedly spent time in a mental facility in 2006. TMZ reports that he was seen begging for money in both Texas and his home state of Maryland, which may explain why he is in D.C.
Fans, former friends and classmates are heartbroken to witness how far West has fallen and are asking the NBA to step in and help.
