Delonte West was born July 26, 1983, in Washington, D.C. and is a professional basketball player in the guard positions for the Texas Legends of the NBA D-League.
On September 12, 2008, West signed a three-year $12.7 million contract with the Cavaliers. He was moved to the starting shooting guard position at the beginning of the season, due to the acquisition of Mo Williams.
He has emerged as a key cog in the Cavaliers' team which won a league-best and franchise-record 66 games during the regular season, and went 39-2 at home. There have been several occasions where West has actually led the team in minutes for long stretches, instead of pre-eminent superstar LeBron James, due to his immense versatility in the backcourt. In addition to his role as the starting shooting guard, he also serves as the backup point guard, manning the position when All-Star point guard Mo Williams is not in the game. He has emerged as the team's best backcourt defensive player, guarding a very wide variety of players ranging from the 6'3 Ben Gordon to the 6'9 Hedo Turkoglu. On the offensive end, he emerged as a dangerous outside shooter, with a field-goal percentage of 46% (and 40% on three-pointers), and maintained his reputation as an athletic and hard-nosed driver with the ball. West, Williams, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and Anderson Varejão finally came together to form a long-sought-after championship-level supporting cast for the all-world James.
In many ways, West's 2008-2009 season was reminiscent of his scrappy defense and accurate shooting alongside Wooden Award recipient Jameer Nelson at St. Joseph's, only this time with James as the star. Being in James's shadow worked wonders for his game, as he was now free to pick his spots on the floor and attack the openings created by the double and triple James commanded. Being freed from the duties of playing as the starting point guard also made a considerable difference. His value to the Cavaliers was revealed as the Cavs' only back-to-back losses over the whole season occurred with West disabled by a broken wrist.
Off the court, his time in Cleveland has seen him establish a reputation as one of the league's funniest players. His hilarious off-court interviews and distinctive speech mannerisms have made him a viral video celebrity, a must-watch comedian and philosopher, and a correspondent on Jim Rome's ESPN television show Rome is Burning. Rome called the correspondence the best in the show's history.
West has also played for the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Texas Legends, Fujian Xunxing, and Shanghai Sharks. He was waived from the Legends in April 2015 after suffering a season ending injury.
