At one point I even thought about suicide. I broke my Achilles, my mother got sick and then died and a year later my grandmother died, this in the middle of the COVID pandemic, with everything that was going on.. Go to chemotherapy sessions and seeing my mother take her last breath, lying next to her on the sofa in the same clothes for three days… If I can get through this, I can get through anything in life.”acknowledged the five-time All-Star and member of the third-best quintet in the 2017 season.
He added that he was successful because of the support of the fans of the various franchises he played for recently and that it was very important to seek professional help. “That the fans continue to support me, that they want to continue to watch me play, is very important to me. I need to get help, therapy. Many people think that they don’t need support, that they can get out of things whenever they want. But you have to be honest with yourself and know what you really need. And that’s what I did.”
