Does this remind anyone else of Terrell Owens?

On Monday, guard Delonte West was waived by the Dallas Mavericks after two suspensions in the course of two weeks for "conduct detrimental to the team." Like the former star wide receiver, and fellow malcontent, West has apparently taken to Twitter to sing his own praises.

To give him some credit, West's tweets are pretty comprehensive, discussing everything from his basketball IQ to his cost effectiveness.
