Deronti West: "Youmamen" male lead, a talented defender who was defeated by the Internet to retire

When it comes to Deronti West, many people think of "Youmamen" at the first time, rather than his feat of leading the team to win 27 consecutive victories in the NCAA. This shows how terrible "cyber violence" is. It not only destroys West's basketball career, but also his entire life.

West is a poor man. He was born in a slum in Washington, DC. Although the people around him are not rich, there is also a chain of contempt here. West, who has light skin and red hair, is the object of their ridicule. West had no friends in his childhood, and played alone most of the time. From time to time, he had to pay attention to whether there were other people around him, especially laughter, which would make the sensitive West extremely uncomfortable. He always thought that those people were laughing at him. In addition, the lack of care from his parents, West's inferiority gradually penetrated into his bones.

"You can't imagine that a child wants to kill himself. I don't know why I live for, I just want to escape." This also laid the groundwork for West's later mental problems.

The basketball court is a paradise where West escapes the scene. No one cares about his outfit and skin color. He will also use his outstanding performance to win the attention and praise of others. In the 8th grade, West had to say goodbye to basketball temporarily due to a leg injury, which put him in a state of no return, just like standing on the deck, but the fence suddenly disappeared. West began to resist going to school, and his parents who did not know the truth thought he was rebellious. Gradually, West's mental state became worse and worse.

"I don't know what medicine it is, so I stuff it into my mouth. I'm very painful and always want to cry. Everything can make me cry. I can't play the ball, I will cry, I can't see my father, I can't buy the shoes I want, I don't know what's wrong with me." - West

As he returned from injury, West found himself again. After entering high school, he became a top star in the United States, leading Ellinois Roosevelt High School, reaching the state championship final for the first time in history. Although the team lost a big score, West, who scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, was still selected as the best player in the state and received a scholarship from St. Joseph University.

West's style remains the same in the NCAA field, especially in his third year of college, he led the team to 27 consecutive victories and the best in the United States, with a record of 30 wins and 2 losses. He entered the NCAA rematch as the number one seed and was selected as the Basketball Times and the Associated Press. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pride of heaven.

At the 2004 NBA Draft, West was selected with the 24th overall pick. After moving to the Celtics and the Supersonics, he was traded to Cleveland before the trading deadline in 2008, becoming the teammate of the Young Emperor James, and quickly secured the start. In the 2008-09 season, West averaged 11.7 points and 3.5 assists, helping the Cavaliers achieve a record of 66 wins and 16 losses. It seems that his career is reaching its peak, but since the summer of 2009, West gradually fell into a whirlpool of public opinion.

In September, West was arrested by the police for speeding with a gun. A month later, he and his wife made a big fuss at the airport. Afterwards, West also clarified that he did not beat his wife, but just wanted to take off the ring in her hand, but no one would be willing to sit down and listen to West's explanation. In addition, the Cavaliers' poor operation made the entire team look particularly impetuous in the 2009-10 season. It should be noted that West had already shown signs of depression at this time. He had been on leave with the team twice and went to Washington for treatment.

Just like a Tamino, it eventually triggered that "farce". In the 10-year Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Cavaliers and the Celtics were in full swing. Although they suffered losses in the first two games, in G3, the Cavaliers beat the Celtics 29 points. The situation was about to reverse. The "Fu Mamen" incident suddenly became a hot search. People inside the matter revealed that Deronti West had an affair with James' mother, which was related to the top NBA superstar James. This matter immediately became the focus of attention around the world. Netizens mocked James, and the media broke through the bottom line in repeated interviews, trying to anger James and West, and then found greater news.

No matter how West denies it, no matter what statement James' team makes, it is unable to stop the incident from fermenting. There is no doubt that this has affected the unity and chemistry within the Cavaliers. In the end, they lost to the Celtics and missed the final. James also chose to escape from Cleveland that summer. As for West, he was sent to the Timberwolves in a deal, and was immediately cut by the latter. After playing for the Celtics and the Mavericks for a short time, West was gradually abandoned by the league.

Everyone who has come into contact with West will say that he is a good person.

Nelson Jr., West's teammate at St. Joseph's University, "I don't know what the hell happened, but if you want me to describe him, I just want to say he's a good guy".

"Moon Man" Moon, a teammate from West's Cavaliers, has always encouraged West through social networking sites, "You should be stronger, my brother", "Dronti West is a good guy".

Afterwards it was proved that this was unfounded false news, but for West, everything happened and could no longer return to the starting point. Although he earned a salary of $16 million in his career, his life was still very difficult. "He gave all the money to his family," said a West's friend. "No matter where he was, he was the one who paid." West's life was not luxurious and he was very traditional in his relationship, but because he was too selfless, he put himself in trouble.

West had 13 family members living with him. Later, his relationship with his wife broke down and he was divided up with part of his property. In addition, his mental problems were caused, and he needed to receive long-term treatment. Several investments ended in failure.. During the NBA shutdown, when other stars were busy on vacation and enjoying their lives, West appeared at Home Depot and became a shipping driver. In order to buy medicine for his children, he had to ask netizens for help on social media. When he was playing for the Mavericks, West, who had no place to sleep, had to spend the night in the team's locker room.

In the following time, West's mental problems became more and more serious. He was frequently exposed to wandering and was arrested by the police many times. Although some friends in the circle wanted to help him get out of the predicament, the Development Alliance and BIG had both given him work, but not long after, West would sleep on the streets in rags.

Last summer, West was arrested again in Fairfax County, Virginia for violating previous release clauses and resisting arrest. It is predictable that he will be a regular in prison for a long time to come.

West is so pitiful. He is the biggest victim of the entire incident. He ruined his future and career. No one is willing to judge the authenticity of "Youmamen". For many spectators, this is a joke, a joke that mocks James, and that's all. As for West, no one cares about his life and death. Therefore, the Internet is not an illegal place. Those unstoppable insults and rumors are destroying those innocent people. Maybe you think it's just a joke, but what you pay behind it is the tears and blood of the parties involved.
