Mental Health in the NBA Before and Now. Plus, DeMar DeRozan on a New Chapter With the Kings and His New Book, ‘Above the Noise.’ | Real Ones

Howard and Raja take a look into how the discussion around mental
health in the NBA has evolved over the years. They start off by
discussing the reaction back when DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love
opened up about their mental health struggles (06:06), how the
issue was dealt with, if at all, during Raja’s playing days
(10:33), and more. After, Howard sits down with DeRozan upon the
release of his new book, ‘Above the Noise: My Story of Chasing
Calm,’ to discuss his signing with the Kings, entering the later
stage of his career, and his personal mental health journey
