but technically, welcome for the first time

it's been a different time to navigate, I think, for...

U.S., with the... with the most cases now,

you just, you have to tip your hat to, you know,

really, the heroes in this time is... uh, grocery store workers,

uh, pharmacy, people working at the pharmacy,

I mean, they're really putting in, you know,

But this has been, like I said, a different time to...

It definitely has been a difficult time to navigate,

but it feels like the NBA and many of its players

have stepped up in a really powerful and unique way.

I remember the shock when the NBA announced

And then very quickly we started to hear stories

about how many people who worked in these arenas

And you were one of the first players who stepped up

and said, "Hey, I'm gonna give my own personal money

"to help pay for these people, I'm gonna help raise money

Um, and then the owners started stepping in.

Why did you feel it was so important for you to do that?

And-and how did you get everybody mobilizing?

I guess Wednesday would be three weeks, um,

you know, since that night in Oklahoma City,

and, you know, I woke up the next day just...

just thinking about, um, you know, kind of like I mentioned,

are gonna be able to put food on their table.

I mean, a lot of these people are living paycheck-to-paycheck,

of not only my story but the Cavs organization,

um, and you start to develop a first-name basis

and first-name relationship with these... with these people,

and start to, you know, ask about their family,

and you see them when you come into the arena,

So I thought it was important to just take care of people

that have, you know, taken care of me so long

Um, one of the things I've always appreciated about you

is how open you've been in discussing anxiety,

depression, you know, um, opening up that conversation

in the NBA, and then getting people more comfortable

speaking about how to deal with these issues in society.

Coronavirus has presented a completely unique challenge

for many people who suffer from anxiety or even depression,

where many of your circles are removed from you.

Many people don't have the networks that keep them, um,

you know, mentally as-as healthy as they'd like to be.

What have you been doing during this period,

and what advice would you give people out there

"it feels like this is triggering everything

that gets me to the place I don't want to be in"?

Well, I know I can say it right back at you.

I got to tip the hat, 'cause I know that, you know,

this mental health has been a part of your story, as well.

continuing to create community in that aspect.

-I think that's a huge thing during this time. -Mm-hmm.

Uh, you know, they're not gonna look back on their death bed

and say, "Hey, I wish I would have earned more money.

I wish I would have, you know, had more fame."

They're gonna say, you know, that those relationships

are really what brought them joy and happiness.

So I feel like that sense of community...

I'm sure it's-it's, you know, the same for you,

that, you know, a lot of people came out,

kind of the things that they had gone through
