We went to High School around the same time and he went to my rival high school. This is so crushing.

He needs to be put in a facility and medicated.
There's looney bins all over and for good reason.
He's obviously a danger to a stranger at any moment but he damn near lost his own life in that clip having done something to that man to the point of getting head stomped.
Mentally ill folks aren't walking around like the Joker with cards saying "pardon me, I'm fukkin out of my mind", and people don't respect their inability to recognize a situation they otherwise wouldn't be involved in anyway oftentimes.
Someone else is going to have to make the decision of option A or B. With one of those less sad than the other.

That’s hard to watch. I hope his people, old teammates, NBA, or just someone can get to him and get him in a facility to treat both his addiction and to provide therapy and medication to help him manage his mental illness

schizophrenia is a crazy disease man
Hearing shyt, seeing shyt, constantly having voices in your head
And majority of the time the voices are negative for some reason
I wonder why they just can't block out the voices and images but I guess it's too hard to decipher between hallucinations and reality

I got a headache watching that

Became a fan when him & Jameer were balling at St. Joseph's and then obviously him with the Celtics. Hope he can get his life together.

Also, I don't get why people are attacking the NBA, assuming they haven't tried to help him before. Speaking from personal experience in having a loved one go down a similar road, it doesn't matter how much you try to do, if that person isn't ready & willing to take the necessary steps, it's out of your hands.

I don't know how it is in the US, but from my experience, the mental institution is the last step. They send patients there if nothing works and they've tried every type of drug. I am pretty sure shock therapy or electro-convulsive therapy is still used at these places.

He needs to go to the klink for a year or two to detox off the drugs, eat some terrible meals and straighten out
