Delonte West Banned From White House, Goes On Twitter Rant

Rucuss staffJanuary 8, 2012

Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West is remorseful.

Following last Saturday’s game, West took to his Twitter to vent about the way reports have treated him in Dallas. West, who allegedly had a fling with Lebron James’ mom, talks about his struggles he’s encountered because of the decisions he’s made in his life.

His revelations were sparked after the White House rejected him from meeting President Barack Obama. While the 2011 NBA Champion team meet President Obama, West must stay at home because of his criminal record. Before someone tours the White House, visitors must go through a background check and West didn’t qualify.

“I’m banned from going to the White House, so I’m not going to make it,” West said after last Saturday’s 96-81 win over the New Orleans “But I’m going home to D.C., I’m just not allowed to go to the White House. That’s what happens when you make bad decisions in your life. You can’t go to the White House.’’

West plead guilty to a 2009 weapons charge after driving a three-wheeled motorcycle with a shotgun strapped to his back. Check out his twitter rant below.
