As the most competitive basketball league, the NBA has never lacked extremely talented stars. Under such preconditions, the speed of the replacement of NBA players is also very fast, and Deronti West has become a member of the eliminated. Now that West has a new development, I will take you through the specific situation. The 38-year-old West tried out BIG3, received a loan from Cuban and is now expected to return to the pitch!
The BIG3 League is a "3v3" professional basketball league, a basketball league co-founded by NBA veteran Iverson and rapper Ace Cooper, with a special emphasis on only retired players. With iverson's halo blessing, many NBA stars have joined the BIG3 League after retiring and continue to chase their basketball dreams.
In order to regain his basketball dream, the now 38-year-old West also participated in the BIG3 trial training, and the BIG3 Basketball League officially posted West's trial video and photos, and said that West has been invited to participate in the event and has the opportunity to enter the 2022 season BIG3 competition list.
West's trial process is very smooth, from the exposed trial video, you can see that West tried 2 ultra-far three-point shots, it seems that West wants to transform in the direction of the outside shooter, which is also in line with the current trend.
Any fans who follow West will know that West's career is full of ups and downs and thorns. West was the 24th pick in the first round of the 2004 NBA Draft and has played professionally for the Celtics, SuperSonics (now thunder), Cavaliers and Mavericks (now the Lone Rangers).
West spent just eight years in the NBA, averaging 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and he said goodbye to his NBA career in October 2012 after being cut by the Mavericks (now the Mavericks). Although West has since joined the CBA team and the NBA Development League, his personality and injuries have not supported him to go further, and eventually West has gradually faded out of the court.
West appeared in the public eye again because he was photographed on the street by netizens, when West was begging on the street with cardboard, and some netizens recognized West and took pictures and uploaded them to the Internet. A star who used to play in the NBA, but after retiring, he was reduced to begging on the street? This situation has attracted a lot of attention from fans, and Lone Ranger owner Cuban also attaches great importance to it.
Although West only played for the Lone Ranger for 1 year, Cuban still reached out to West to help him return to normal life. With Cuban's help, West not only reunited with his mother, but also moved into a rehabilitation center, and it can be said that everything is moving in a good direction, which also paves the way for West to return to the pitch.
West is now 38 years old, and with age no longer young, West has also experienced the cruel side of society, which also makes him want to return to the court even more. However, with his current competitive state, it is basically impossible to return to the NBA, after all, West has difficulty adapting to the intensity of the NBA, so West wants to join the BIG3 league.
For a time, West was in dire need of begging along the streets to make ends meet. Having been rescued by Cuban and now expected to return to the pitch, this is actually a happy ending for West!
