Sebastian Telfair shared insights on his former teammate Delonte West, highlighting both his struggles and his humorous nature. Telfair acknowledged West's long-standing mental health challenges. He recalled that during their time with the Boston Celtics, the team had provided West with a therapist who traveled with them. Praising West's light-hearted and comedic personality, Telfair expressed his surprise at seeing West descend into drug use. Telfair hopes West recovers and finds comfort in life, similar to many in his community who have overcome substance abuse. Telfair emphasized the importance of being available for help and expressed confidence that the NBA would assist should West be open to it.

Sebastian shows Delonte a lot of compassion here. Didn't want to see the video. Chose his words carefully. Big respect.

[@jusdef07]

Very Big Respect !!!! We've seen Delonte battling his demons, we don't need to continue to see him at his worse !!! It's not entertaining to us people from the inner cities and we don't want to look down or judge those people while they are sick.

[@RobSimons24]

[@MacNasty81UP]

I was thinking the same thing you don’t see that anymore showing respect and compassion these days

Thanks Sebastian 4 handling this situation with class & dignity. I appreciate that you didn’t throw the man under the bus.

Yes blessings to them both!!!!

Throw him under the bus? Nothing vlad says could be worse than what hes experiencing.

Class, vlad don't have that

[@BLACKEYETHAI]

Salute for not talking down on the brother that’s already down in life 🙏🏽

[@hulioortiz6988]

Sebastion a real one. Please remember, ppl tried to help Delonte, it didnt work, fine. Delonte got a child why not send some support that way

[@luckiestreetonline]

Vlad : Hey you wanna see a Black man doing bad? Black Man: Nah I don't wanna see that video I'm good.... lmao

[@hulioortiz6988]

Vlad dont understand not everything needs to be exploited

[@WestCoast21three]

vlad loves nothing more than black dysfunction it keep the vladtv machine going

?…You say all that to say what?

[@jonboy2569]

@@flyguy7825because Sebass is smart and a real one

[@NoLineNoWait123AbC]

And this is that Yt boy shid and how they don’t realize how they are coming across to the culture, the Vlad’s the Adam’s, and most likely they truly could care less if they did realize it.

[@styleemusic]

Mark cuban tried to help

[@hulioortiz6988]

Sad situation

[@brandoni241]

He's not the only one either. That's the thing. Delonte has been to drug treatment many times. Its reported he's bipolar, which means he has been prescribed meds for it. But if there isn't someone around making him take the meds, it's easy to fall into other things for him...

[@stonersimpson_]

More than one time too.

[@twlauderdale]

Mark Cuban DID help him, but eventually u have to help yourself

[@chryslerprowlerv8]

Bassy Is one of the greatest.....he just didn't do well In the SYSTEM of basketball with 7 foot big men.....but dude was UNSTOPPABLE.... I'll never forget Bassy or Ndudi Ebi

[@rondadonjuan4102]

Sebastian is like we see this shit everyday on coney

[@Rockie___]

Vlad always was “about to”interview somebody 😂😂😂

[@KD_SWAGGER]

I hope Delonte West gets better.

[@juice07x]

Vlad thinks NBA players are like rappers. NBA is a fraternity or a brotherhood. They might compete but at the end of the day most of them stick up for each other and show empathy.

[@HoodPsychoP3dia]

Not true !!! I could show you many many cases

[@Silkymagee]

I spoke with Delonte on IG live, let him know I’m praying for him and there’s people out here praying for him. I pray he pulls through

[@jaylopez9212]

Shout out for not wanting to see that Video, Vlad loves to show people doing bad to laugh about

[@atomicdagod]

He only does that to black people

[@theworldaccordingtosimba3366]

Sebastian showed real class. On the other hand, Vlad, again, showed a lack of class.

[@jalieljohnson718]

Vlad, this is off limits . To ask questions about someone else's mental health is dead wrong .

[@77sevyn]

The cocaine being compared to a grenade to athletes is the best way to put it 😂😂😂😂😂 like oh shit wtf

[@Transfixion]

I had the same experience as Sebastian. I don't do any drugs or even smoke weed, but the only time I've ever seen Coke was when I was with a girl and she had two lines on her dresser. Man, I couldn't wait to get up out of there LOL!

[@blouie2677]

Man bruh a real one & teammate for not watching that clip of D West….on another note West ass had to be crazy smoking black n milds while being a NBA player 😳

[@nadecha5326]

Mark Cuban tried to give him help multiple times and it failed.. You can't help someone who doesn't want it.

[@itsascaryworld9788]

My state is legal recreationally so if I die from some fentanyl, my family can happily sue.

So vlad will interview Serial killers like Terrance gangster Williams. But won't interview Fleece Johnson the booty warrior

Yeah I’m good don’t want to see that video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Culture vlad quick to show a black man down

[@GetEmDoTTie215]

Everytime vlad says he was gonna interview someone and it doesn't happen it's always because they died, went to jail, or had something unfortunate happen to them 1 day or 1hr before coming to interview 🤔 like cmon dude cut the crap

[@Romeferlano]

Vlad needs to understand nba players nfl players got media training good try glad

What does “smoking blacks” mean?

[@mr.andersin8901]

No one can make you get clean! They have to want it for themselves period! E blessed and don't try drugs you know ruins peoples lives! Your not an exeption to the rule.

[@Pop_Richie]

Bassy’s braids must to be too tight, he keeps rubbing the parts also, S/O to him for checking Glad too…

[@2iggy_]

Nothing will happen to you if somebody puts fentanyl in weed. There are numerous studies that debunk this so stop listening to idiots online repeating what other idiots say.

[@Lenasevilla-yb4ei]

He’s lying I’m from Coney Island his dad was a drug addict wtf is he talking about he never seen coke before 😏

wu tang. .

[@2cleeng]

@Vladtv you lied 3:33 and you should clean that up Darius morris didn’t have drug issues don’t put that brotha out there like that. I read a report that yes he had cocaine in his system but it wasn’t the initial cause of his death. This man never had drug issues in his career or life you weak for that one.

[@jusdef07]

Don't hold your breath waiting for an apology.

[@flyguy7825]

The reality of situation is if the man doesn’t want help he’s never going to get helpFYI what does dude is saying is absolutely false and fucked up people who want Coke they will get Coke it’s not a female thing

[@user-cw7ly8nu5j]

NBA doesn’t owe him anything!!! He was paid for his services

[@dec6p]

I’m sorry to tell you but when a literal billionaire being Mark Cuban offers to get him help and it doesn’t work, he’s a lost cause. And before Mark Cuban there were many other wealthy individuals willing to get him some help, didn’t work. It’s sad what’s happening to Delonte but I just thinks he’s too far gone.

[@glxsports323]

This is no knock on Mr. Telfaire but I’m tired of hearing about how bad Delonte West is doing. The NBA is the elite of the elite. It’s supposed to be a brotherhood. Somebody actually help the man. Period. It’s no one’s responsibility because he’s a grown man but, let this be the one case where they save one life. One of you in the fraternity of NBA millionaires and billionaires help the man. Respectfully.

[@moballardful]

The mavericks did get him into treatment. I know there's been more than one attempt to help him but it didn't stay consistent unfortunately.

[@reginaldbstewart395]

He flaked on doing an interview with Vlad so Vlad being petty wants to drag him forever

[@nelsonposey1711]

Some people hurt you more than you can help them I think that might be the case for delonte they’ve been trynna help him since he left the league there no simple help.

[@MRHIPHOPVEGAN]

You never Been around a drug addict they are not going to change until they are ready to change !!

[@joojoobaw]

You don’t think anybody has tried to help him? Certain people in certain situations just don’t make it easy to help

D west was bipolar in high school..Holmes always was a lil bit off

[@HewittShaq]

Vlad over talking everybody

[@ashyvette916]

Sebastian acts like he doesn’t want to be there. No one else is booking him for interviews he should be thankful 😂
