Just under two years ago, the New Orleans Pelicans signed Dante Cunningham to the team, in order to shore up depth issues.
Since then, Cunningham’s signing began a new era of Pelicans basketball.
The New Orleans Pelicans gave Dante a second chance at a basketball life. Cunningham was charged with a felony domestic assault during the 2013-2014 season. Those charges were eventually dropped, however the aftermath of it could have ruined his career.
NBA teams became reluctant to give him a shot, due to the serious condition that kind of charge has. This incident was almost the end of Dante at the NBA level.
