Delonte West is getting ready for his next big fight. And apparently, he decided his smile needed to be ready too.
The former NBA guard recently showed off his new teeth in a series of Instagram posts after visiting PGA Dentistry. West is preparing for his upcoming boxing match against former NBA star Michael Beasley.
When you are stepping into a boxing ring, why not make sure your smile looks fresh before somebody tries to rearrange it?
West “stormed” into PGA Dentistry to get his new teeth ahead of the highly anticipated matchup. The results are now on display, and he seems pretty happy with the upgrade.
The former basketball player has been making headlines as he prepares to trade basketball jerseys for boxing gloves. West and Beasley are scheduled to face each other in the ring, giving fans a very different kind of NBA reunion.
No crossover moves, no fast breaks, and no three-point shots. Just punches.
West’s latest dental makeover adds another interesting chapter to his fight preparations. While most boxers worry about training, conditioning, strategy, and not getting punched in the face, West apparently had one more item on his checklist: get the teeth looking right!
And honestly, it makes sense. A new smile can provide a little extra confidence. It can also make those pre-fight photos look considerably better. That is especially useful when the internet is watching every move.
West has already attracted plenty of attention since returning to the spotlight through boxing. His upcoming matchup with Beasley has fans curious because both men spent years playing professional basketball at the highest level.
Now they are taking their competitive relationship somewhere completely different.
The boxing match is expected to bring plenty of nostalgia for NBA fans. West and Beasley may have shared the basketball world, but this time they will be sharing a ring.
And somewhere, PGA Dentistry is probably watching this matchup very closely.
