Delonte West says LeBron James saved his life, and that he's pulling for Cleveland and the Cavaliers

OAKLAND, Calif. – He may not be a current member of the Cavaliers, but Delonte West isn't allowing that to deter him from enjoying this championship quest.

In an interview with Northeast Ohio Media Group, the former Cavalier guard revealed how LeBron James, on two occasions, helped redirect his route from going down a disastrous path and he discussed his love affair with the city of Cleveland.

Both instances involving James occurred in his final season with the Cavaliers, the 2009-10 season.

It was in the thick of training camp. West, who battled depression and suffered from a severe stress disorder, was a month removed from a weapons charge that was hanging over his head.
