SHOPPERS AT AMERICAN hardware chain Home Depot could soon find themselves being served by a star of the NBA – former Boston Celtics combo guard Delonté West.
This is not a Paris Hilton-goes-slumming-it-style reality show, but down to the fact that the 28-year-old has run out of cash.
West tweeted last week that he had filled out an application for Home Depot in the absence of any NBA action – play is currently suspended due to the Lockout.
The player’s fiscal problems stem from his arrest in 2009 when he was pulled over on a three-wheel motorcycle, carrying two handguns, a shotgun and a knife. The guns were all loaded. His legal woes have also prevented him from seeking work overseas.
