After the NBA All-Star Kevin Love decided to open up on about his battles with anxiety in March, now he is committed to helping other people with this mental illness by speaking out his struggle throughout this experience.

The Cleveland Cavaliers player became the new face of mental health in the NBA when he published an essay called “Everyone is going through something” on The Players Tribune last March, where he detailed the frightening panic attack that he suffered during a game against the Atlanta Hawks on November.

"After halftime, it all hit the fan. Coach Lue called a timeout in the third quarter. When I got to the bench, I felt my heart racing faster than usual. Then I was having trouble catching my breath. It’s hard to describe, but everything was spinning, like my brain was trying to climb out of my head. The air felt thick and heavy. My mouth was like chalk.

Coach Lue came up to me. I think he could sense something was wrong. I blurted something like, “I’ll be right back,” and I ran back to the locker room. I was running from room to room, like I was looking for something I couldn’t find. Really I was just hoping my heart would stop racing. It was like my body was trying to say to me, you’re about to die. I ended up on the floor in the training room, lying on my back, trying to get enough air to breathe."

Now that his illness became publicly known—something that the 29-year-old player admitted that it was extremely difficult due to the current masculinity misconception of suppressing your feelings—he wants to help kids and other NBA fellows with this condition by sharing what happened to him.

First, he sat down with ESPN’s Jacki MacMullan, where he said he is trying to help other people with the same condition.

“If you help one person,” Love told MacMullan, “If you help one kid, it can be absolutely lifechanging and groundbreaking for that kid”.

This week during an interview on the Today Show with Carson Daly he talked about the pressure that NBA players may feel because they suffer mental health disorders.

"From my experience and in talking to other players that have dealt with a number of [mental health disorders],” the Cleveland forward said, “What's going to happen if people do find out about this?" he said. "Am I going to get the contract? Am I going to be able to take care of my family? What are people going to think of me?"

Kevin Love’s declarations on his mental health helped many other players and former players to feel comfortable enough to share their own struggles. Nate Robinson, Chris Bosh, Steven Adams and Jahlil Okafor, among others. All these stories are helping to break the taboo of mental illness in the NBA players. The professional basketball league is already taking action on the matter; they hired Dr. William Parham as the league's director of mental health and wellness to try to tackle this illness, which the Houston Rockets assistant coach John Lucas, said it's “an epidemic” in the league.
