Kevin Love Starts Conversation About Mental Health in the NBA
You don't hear sports and mental health mentioned together often, but that's changing, thanks to a new essay from NBA All-Star Kevin Love. Chat Sports' James Yoder joins Cheddar to discuss how the revelations might change the way we talk about sports. Love isn't alone; Raptors star DeMar DeRozan and Kelly Oubre Jr. of the Washington Wizards are also opening up about their experiences with mental health issues.
The LeBron James free agency sweepstakes are officially underway. Yoder explains why companies in Los Angeles and Philadelphia are using billboards to court the superstar. He says there's less than a 50% chance James stays in Cleveland beyond this season.
Mark Cuban is facing sexual misconduct claims surrounding an alleged incident in 2011. Yoder details why an Oregon newspaper published a new report about the Dallas Mavericks owner. The NBA says it will officially review the claims against the "Shark Tank" star.
