Delonte West really applied to Home Depot, considering Sam’s Club
When Delonte West tweeted about submitting an application to Home Depot, I decided not to post the “news.” Without confirmation otherwise, I figured West’s tweet was a prank. After all, West is the same person who rapped about KFC and called himself The Golden Panther throughout one entire interview.

Earlier this week, West tweeted that he was applying for a job at Home Depot, and the seven-year vet says that’s not the only retail job he’s looking into.
“I actually might have work with Sam’s [Club], BJ’s, selling knives,” West said. “That’s pretty cool too. I get a microphone and everything.”
He would get a microphone at Sam’s, but Home Depot might offer more perks.
“You gotta get with it, do something that you love,” West said. “I’m an architect, I was an art major. At Home Depot, I get free discount on hammers and nails.”
Maybe it’s time for the NBA lockout to end.

Amazing how a player burn through $1M+ in less than a year and not have anything saved or from previous year’s earnings and now must seek regular work. Athletes need to wake up and realize their ‘career’ does not last forever and may even be cut short. I am still stunned that Antoine Walker blew through $80M plus and has nothing really tangible to show for it. Hopefully, other players, and kids in college or getting ready to go to college, will learn from these examples and realize that an education would be a great thing to fall back on so one doesn’t have to apply at Home Depot because they blew their ‘gift’ and have little or nothing to show for being some of the luckiest people on the planet. Go Cs….
