Because you got all these questions now about load management and, you know, should guys be resting or should they be playing?

Should the season be short or should we be shooting 53s a game?

And why are the defensive calls so soft?

And so, you know, everything's a give and take and hopefully some of those things iron themselves out as the game continues to grow.

But I watch a lot of NBA, man, because the players,

The players and the coaching and the strategy and the schemes have never been better, in my opinion.

Facts.

Oh, man, even more so today.

I think I've been greatly vindicated.

When I told the NBA, hey, we need a mental health policy.

Well, let me tell you the back story briefly about the NBA.

When I came into the NBA, I was one of the first players –

to openly discuss my, my struggles with anxiety, just a panic attacks.

Yeah.

I had a panic attack when I was like 16 from smoking marijuana the first time.

And for some reason I had a really bad reaction and I would have like three, four panic attacks a day for four or five months.

Yeah.

It was bad until, uh, I learned what anxiety and panic attacks were.

Then I was on medication, you know, SSRIs like Prozac, uh,

Eventually I ended up getting off of it.
