"That's what happens when you make bad decisions in your life," West said over the weekend, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "You can't go to the White House.''
I love Delonte. I used to have him in my profile. Such a bizarre, but benignly amusing cat. I was really glad to hear how a few years ago he decided to get help for his demons.

Wow, two things you can't have to enter the White House these days:
1. A criminal background.
2. A birth certificate.

If anything, West shouldn't go to the White House because he wasn't with the team when the Mavs won the title.

My buddy (who is a lurker here) is there with the Mavs. He bought his first suit ever because if you're ever going to need a suit, it's because you're meeting the President.

During the 2009 incident, police found
three guns stashed in a guitar case
he was carrying.
Apparently Delonte West is El Mariachi.

He shouldn't be surprised. We've already established that some mavericks just aren't going to be in the White House.

What makes him a thug? Because he had unregistered firearms and was transporting them? That makes him stupid, but not a thug. If that made him a thug, at least a third of Fark would be thugs also because of how many people here like to brag how they have unregistered firearms. Unless that is all just ITG talk.

I agree with this 100%. He had nothing to do with the Mavericks title run. He was signed to the team less than a month ago.

He chose to date her, and given his public position he should've known better.

That was the first thing that popped into my head when my brain cross referenced Dirk and the law. I know he is by all accounts a good guy and squeaky clean but the schadenfreude won out in my addled mind. Sort of like Santa Claus getting busted for a B&E.

Well he didn't KNOW she was a con artist at the time. You know that's what con artists do, right? They con? Sure, he should've done a background check on her, I guess. But really, that's pretty tame if all you've got on a guy was that he dated a girl who tried to con him. There are other players who deserve your chagrin far more than Dirk.

I guess I don't get why you would enjoy something bad happening to such a good guy. I would think it would be better to enjoy watching bad things happen to bad people.

When the Celtics went to the White House, Obama pointed to Rajon Rondo, then asked Ray Allen,(something like) "Het Ray. Can't you teach this guy to shoot?"
per Jackie MacMullen's book with Shaq, this devastated Rondo.
2 posts in one:
If I were Obama, I'd override the background check thing and make sure I got the real answer to the question everyone wants to know. With all the modelesque gold diggers out there following you around, why did you really bang LeBron's mom?
In fact, I might sign a presidential order and make him tell me.

Well, he is right. Rondo needs to learn how to shoot. But what he really needs to do is learn how to grow a beard. I had no trouble spotting that post-op tranny way back when he was playing for Kentucky. And a beard has done wonders for Clay Aiken, and it can for Rondo as well.

Skipped the obvious guy (W) and went after Reagan. You're in the clear in the sports tab, but I don't think that would fly in the politics tab. Especially with those who forget/deny that Reagan actually was a criminal.

Was going to post he wasn't even on the team so who cares,but I see thats been covered. On another note, seems kinda late for them to finally be getting around to meeting the pres. Isn't this one of those honors that happen within a month or so of the championship?

Hahaha. It was an amazing diss by the President. Rondo seems to be a pretty emotional guy.
