Under the NBA's anti-drug rules, there are some instances in which a player who comes forward voluntarily to request help with a substance-abuse issue is not penalized as harshly as a player who randomly tests positive and is thereby forced to enter the treatment program. The NBA never discloses who is in its drug treatment program.

Ok going to HUGELY disagree with that. While your point is logical, a person that doesn't think that life is worth living is not capable of a logical thought process.

Personally I think you guys are being asses. Depression isn't a joke.

I have suffered depression and still feel it at times (crazy mother, father in prison, in family legal custody battles, drugs taking over peoples live close to me)... I guess I got blinded by his "success" that I forgot the stars have issues to.

My bad if I offended anyone.
