West reportedly had an argument in January 2020 when he accused a man of pointing a gun at him. At that moment, fans and former players alike were trying to “figure out” ways to help him, which led to Cuban trying to help.
West was also spotted walking without shoes in Houston in 2016, while having incidents at strip clubs and outside youth basketball games.
Fans are more worried about West becoming homeless after being spotted walking the streets in Maryland. However, West said at the time that he was not homeless, Complex reported.
West was drafted in the first round by the Boston Celtics in 2004 and played for the team for three seasons before being traded to the Seattle SuperSonics.
