Kevin Love’s message for his younger self: ‘Don’t live life in the shadows’
Author: Joey Morona Publication: Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — What would Cavaliers star forward and mental health advocate
Kevin Love tell his younger self if he had the chance?
It’s a question The Child Mind Institute asked him as part of the nonprofit’s
mental health awareness campaign on social media.
“I would probably say don’t be afraid to speak your truth,” Love said in a
video. “I know it’s pretty basic… but for me, for a bit over a year now, I’ve
been able to speak my truth and kind of play all my cards and tell everybody
this is what you get and for me. It’s been speaking with a professional. It’s
been reaching out to my friends in times of need or when I’m having a tough day
or it’s a string of bad days put together. So, I would say speak your truth,
live life out in the open and don’t live life in the shadows.”
Love’s video is one of more than a dozen posted by celebrities participating in
the #MyYoungSelf campaign. The goal, the organization says, is to eliminate the
stigma of mental health issues by showing kids that it’s OK to ask for help. –

How the New York Knicks trading the No. 3 pick would affect the Cleveland
Cavaliers Author: Ben Axelrod Publication: WKYC
As is often the case with such events, the 2019 NBA Draft possesses plenty of
uncertainty.
The top three, however, was supposed to have already been settled.
After the New Orleans Pelicans won the top pick in the draft lottery — and
thus, the right to pick Duke forward Zion Williamson — the Memphis Grizzlies
landed the No. 2 pick, which it’s been widely reported they will use on Murray
State point guard Ja Morant. That would leave the New York Knicks, who landed at
No. 3 in the lottery, to select Duke guard R.J. Barrett — the third of three
prospects in what some consider to be a three-player draft.
But while it may have appeared the top three picks would be set as soon as the
lottery’s ping pong balls were drawn, a new report has thrown a wrench into
draft prognostications. According to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, the Knicks have
explored trading down from the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft. – CLICK HERE to
