Episode Details

“I started sabotaging my happiness.” For Episode 300, Delonte West sits down with The Danza Project to talk about the person behind the NBA career, the viral videos, and the headlines. Delonte opens up about his journey through addiction and homelessness, his faith, and the work he’s doing in recovery. He reflects on losing the structure basketball gave him, wanting to give more than he could afford, and learning to recognize his value beyond the game. We discuss playing alongside LeBron James and Paul Pierce, the support he describes receiving from the NBA Players Association, and the people who have stayed connected to him through difficult chapters of his life. There’s plenty of Delonte’s humor and competitive spirit here, too. But one of the most meaningful moments comes when he describes the person he wants his children to know. Who are you when the thing the world knows you for is no longer your everyday life? Three hundred episodes have brought us conversations, friendships, and opportunities we couldn’t have imagined when we started. To everyone who has watched, shared, challenged us, or stayed with us along the way: thank you. This is Episode 300 with Delonte West.
