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 (42:13).
