Delonte Maurice West was born and raised in inner-city Washington D.C. and although he played in schoolyards and public parks, did not play organized ball until his sophomore year at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland. There he achieved various awards including Prince Georges County All-Metropolitan Player of the Year. (2001) Delonte was also a popular young man off the court and was voted Prom King.
After high school, he attended Saint Joseph's (Philadelphia, PA) where he averaged 18.9 points and 6.7 assists per game while shooting 41% from the three-point range. Along with current Orlando Magic guard, Jameer Nelson, Delonte's efforts helped the Hawks go undefeated (27-1) during the 2003-2004 season, and earn an Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Delonte left St. Joseph's after his junior year and was selected by the Boston Celtics as the 24th pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. In his first season He averaged 4.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. He was named the starting point guard at the beginning of the 2005-06 season and went on to average 11.8 PPG, 4.1 RPG and 4.6 APG for that season. In February of 2006, he was named to represent the Celtics on the Sophomore team for the Rookie Challenge at NBA All-Star Weekend.
In February, 2008, Delonte was part of a three-team trade which brought him, Joe Smith, Ben Wallace and Wally Szczerbiak to the Cavaliers. In September, 2008 , West signed a three-year $12.7 million contract with the Cavs and was assigned the starting shooting guard job where he has since flourished.

"I want to win a championship ring. The day I get that ring, I am going to hang it on a shoelace and tie it around my neck. Then I m going to get a pair of the sunglasses that Dwayne Wayne wore in the show "A Different World" and visit every state in the country on a moped wearing nothing but the ring, those sunglasses and a pair of Chuck Taylor's with the inscription "What Would Jesus Do?" written on the sides. I m serious!"
The goal for this group is for everybody that is a Cavs fan to vote for Maurice Williams for an 09 All-Star. I think he really deserves this. He has done so much for the Cavs in so little time. This is they year... The time is now. Now get clicking.

Lebron is playing better than ever lead his Cavaliers to one of the best records in the NBA with the supporting cast of Mo-Will D-West and Andy, Big Z , D-Gib aka (boobie) and that is just to name a few. LeBron is putting up good numbers each game and leading his team to the glory land aka NBA Finals. Yes Kobe is having a good season but he has a good supporting cast and the CAVS just got one this year and half of last but the CAVS need one more missing peace then they are set for a while but i think right now the CAVS can make it to the finals there good enough.
