I’m a regular 9 to 5 dude, I work out daily, go to school etc, and when I tore my Achilles playing football on Thanksgiving was the hardest shit I had to mentally deal with, you can’t walk the way you want, you can’t drive, you can’t train the way you want, you need assistance going to the restroom etc. But prayers to her and hopefully she makes a speedy recovery.
Iykyk, likewise it was the worst! I still don't trust mine. Playing basketball ball and went for a rebound and felt like someone kicked me but no one was there! Got up limping and had to drive my manual shift Honda home an hour away. Brutal! I've never felt so helpless those few months.
Ah hell bro, (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ not every rando is cancer good luck buddy.
@@apply_pressure I feel that, I drove myself home and my wife took me to the ER, I ain’t never cried so much in my life 🤣🤦🏾♂️. But those hydros they gave me definitely helped. But it’ll be 2 years this thanksgiving and I actually been running and it doesn’t feel bad at all.
Tore myself up after a high fall at work, you instantly realize whose your friend. The love of a mother and father is 2 of a kind, but the choice of other's in those moments is as obvious as black and white.
I’m glad you persevered. 🫡
I just wanna say Gilbert’s show is my favorite cause I can literally listen to all these guys talk at any given time.
Almost. Mccants gets a little out of this world and almost tries TOO hard to be a contrarian. - which, having one, is generally good for a production, but sometimes it’s SOO much that it gets a little old
@@skaylingop9673And Gil can be a terrible sore loser at times so it balances out😅
Except McCants who only knows the n word
Stop talking nobody cares
@@skaylingop9673 McCants has a limited vocabulary
regular guy here . i broke my ankle last year and when i tell you i cried in front of my mother because of how alone i felt i suffered with depression before that , the depression during that recovery got worse
Man I remember when I fractured my ankle. I felt alone my damn self but 2 months flew by 😂
Depression is REAL. Nobody knows what people are really going through.
I had slipping rib syndrome and Marfan syndrome end my career. By far the worst thing you can go through. When you still have the talent but your body fails you. I appreciate everyone being real about how physical injuries destroy your mental.
You've got a fan in me, keep 'em coming!

@@5harkthegr8somebody over a Gil paying for views and comments , hopefully Gil knows cause you get no money from those views
Hey you're using my girlfriend's picture for your profile. I don't like this
@@chrisa8863 imagine 😂 or are you deadass ? No way this is true 😭
Nothing worst than dealing with a mental injury..
Jennings was brilliant on this segment.
you think some people are happy when you get injured ?????
@@Angelabarbosadominguez-it4fh yes, there are some people who are happy to see others fail because they haven't succeeded themselves, so I totally understood what he meant by that.
@@Angelabarbosadominguez-it4fh Yes, as the panel points out. Do you think the dude behind the starter on the depth chart isnt lowkey happy when the guy preventing him from starting goes down? 99% of these dudes are out to score and get the bag. They dont really care about winning and REALLY dont care about someone preventing them from securing the bag.
@@Kikibrat2 men !!!Thats basically evil😔 so they dont feel alone in their failures
@@Angelabarbosadominguez-it4fh 1000% There may not be a bunch of people actively praying for you to get hurt but there are definitely people that are happy especially in professional sports. Tom Brady may have never accomplished what he did if Bledsoe never got hurt
Nothing worse then being injured as an athlete. I'm not a pro but i consistently try to go the gym and when i get injured for weeks or months, your mind wants to go 100% and you can't and your unable to progress.. it's one of the most frustrating things.
Even worse when you’re not part of a program/team that will restrain you. It’s easier when someone else says you can’t rather than trying to tell yourself everyday. Both scenarios suck though
Cameron can get those back shots 💯🔥
I'm praying she recovers from her ACL.
Me too,Prayers!I as a teenager had some sprain ankles that was a factor of not been a great athlete (City finals 1987/16 years old 800 meter,last place,lol)But I did my best in my junior year of Detroit MacKenzie HS, Class of 1988.
Loved everybody’s honesty in this conversation that was dope
I was hoping Kenyon wasn’t talking about Demar Johnson or Kenny Sat (BX stand up). That’s still one of my favorite college teams ever.
He’s talking about Steve Logan
💯 damn shame they didn't win it all that year
I used to date K-Sat sister in HS ..
Sad News About Cameron Brink Speedy Recovery God Speed
I hope you got that same energy next month
💯
Man, I remember Kenyon and them Cincinatti Bearcat teams. They were insane to watch. Also the uniforms were fire too
Hope lexie was watching
Lexie got jumper but she’s not aggressive enough😛
@@Dipset415I think you are missing his point....lol.
He means he hopes she is watching because her and Cam are teammates
Powerful conversation. 💪🏾💯
This was one of the most insightful conversations had on this show.
I love this show so much…the guys got great personalities and intelligence n I love the realness
Im from Cincy and our heart broke when KMart went down. It still hurts. But I’m happy he had a great career despite the injury.
I was hurt and couldn't walk that was difficult. But, when i becam ineligible two days before the season my sophomore ( transfer issues) i went into a deeeeeep depression and a slump that lead me to the streets and violence. ( Over thr course of time).
Respect to these legends. They’ve been through it.
This really applies to any medical issue outside of sports related injuries. I got diagnosed with cancer last year and it’s hard hearing everyone, doctors included saying “stay positive, you’ll be fine.” And in the back of my mind, I was thinking “yeah ok, I made it this far on bad luck.” I understand it’s really easy to turn negative. Thankfully I’m good now.
And they’re right, you remember everyone who checked in on you and who didn’t give a shit. My coworker was always asking how I was doing and he kept my spirits up. His wife unfortunately got diagnosed with breast cancer and I’ve sent her flowers a couple of times to make sure she is in good spirits because he was there for me.
When does ESPN Fox or any of those talking head shows have this conversation???
Hope it comes never. When narcissistic people cry about depression. They cry over every time they don't get attention. First World problems. And a shame too people with real problems, real illness, no money, that are really alone.
They can't relate! 🤷♂️
To be real I don't think the majority of the public gives a F*** and ESPN is only going to cover what the people care about. We all have our own stuff going on in life, I LOVE sports but also don't need to hear about millionaires feeling depressed. I truly don't care, just do your job like everyone else does in this country.
Most of the popular espn talking heads don't know what it is like to be a professional athlete and have an injury
What injury has SAS ever had? Maybe he can speak on his kneecap injury he had over 30 years ago
Dang that’s really sad
I’m sorry y’all went through injury
I swear Gil hit it right on when I had 2 heart attacks from Covid I got all the love but as time went on and I still was recovering and that love started to fade it got harder
Brandon Jennings was a good take. You see people True colors when your down. It’s like they glad you hurt low key.
This is weird energy
@@johnnguyen6469yea it is. I don’t hope for people demise that is tru Jealousy and envy. It happens to the best.
Coming from a person who had foot surgery 1yr and a half ago they’re spitting nothing but FACTS ‼️‼️
I feel for anyone who’s every broken anything or had career or life threatening injuries. With all the working out and sports, fighting and daredevil stunts I’ve been blessed to only sprain things. I know I would be depressed if I couldn’t use my body to its fullest capacity
Strong Talk, strong talk for real.
Young ones- listen to these stories and experiences. It’s okay to go through hard times and feel depressed. It sucks, but it doesn’t make you weak. These guys and others my age grew up when it was never “okay” to talk about. Check on your friends, coworkers, teammates, or whoever. You need that karma in your life. Just make the world a better place.

Add them to your daily regimen.
It’s crazy how the NBA teams hear Gil knowledge and still no one has offered him a chance to Coach.
What? He probably dont een wanna coach he be a very good gm tho
He said he’d rather be a trainer for a team I think. I wonder if someone offered him that
He's already said he doesn't have the patience or want to coach
@@DreChilly I believe it that’s just a front, especially when the man highlighted how coaching John wall is what reminded him of the love he once had for the game. Which is what he used that to pull himself out of a rough patch.

I feel this podcast😭
Kmart Gil bjennings salute to you brothers the topic y'all talking about is a big deal in America mental illness in America needs to be a top priority fasho 👍👌
Man this the one right here!! Real Shit talk
if you've never been hurt never been in that position, not checking in on you might not be malice based, but young people moving on with their lives. People dont often realize when their words or presence is needed
In light of this being Men's Mental Health Month I pray you all heel from the things you don't talk about. And I would like to wish that young lady a speedy recovery. Your team needs back out there. Peace fellas.
Growing up in St Louis. I use to love to watch Cincinnati use to play SLU University. Those team were legendary. I think one of the first team to have the Jordan brand
I remember moving to St. Louis in '91 as a kid. I was like "What is a Billiken?"😄 4259 W. Cote Brilliante..next to Marshall Elementary School. Northwest Plaza was the SHYT! That was my first drive-by too. 12 years old.. getting shot at by some dudes looking for my cousin. Our dumbasses were laughing instead of running. 🤦🏾♂😄 Back then, I only saw ONE light-skinned girl. Damn Mosquito trucks used to bring the mosquitos out in FULL FORCE. We used to go in the house when they came out spraying that crap.
Tore my meniscus hoopin on my bday, had surgery in January. Besides my fiance, ive always felt alone. Still never took a day off from the gym even on crutches haha. Think the fear and depression is more so being an athlete and knowing you need your health to continue your career
I went through a non sports related setback but a bad car work related car accident 10 years ago and long story short only a few people checked in on me after I had the accident and I had to go to physical therapy, chiropractors and all that shit with no car just relying on public transportation (bus) and I'd hit some of my so called friends at the time and I'd hear crickets. I resented some of them and even stopped to some after that situation but that's a perspective of true life when things are good everyone around wants to have fun and party when shit goes bad only a select few stick around that truly care. So always remember not everyone you think that cares about you actually does especially when shit goes sideways. Life lesson 101....
One thing that happens a lot not just in athletics but especially so there is people kind of shy away from hurt people its like subconsciously its contagious or depressing. You feel for them but looking at them makes it real. Bro gets put ina wheel chair and at first everyone is there but as time goes on people drift away because they don't wanna see that reality because I see you in that chair and realise I'm doing the same thing that got you there.
Its crazy how good of a dude gilbert actually is. Dont let him fool you 😂😂😂
Hard not too when he forces the BS to be what we notice/know him for
Ruptured my Achilles running track in my senior year of college at our conference meet came off the turn in the 400
It ruptured I fell off the track and the next year was misery I didn’t even walk for my graduation. All that work for my senior year gone that shit put me through it
Gilbert may joke around all the time, but he’s an experienced guy who has a lot of wisdom to share
Kenyon is going to make sure you see that watch….
Nice!!!
I hoop 2-3 times a week, just pick-up with a bunch of friends, we’re all basketball enthusiasts. In a recent session my foot slipped as I landed and all my body weight went through my leg when my knee was locked. Took me 2 months of chasing hospital staff (figuratively, I could barely walk 😅) to find out that I tore my ACL and ruptured my meniscus. To even get the surgery required to fix it, I need to do 2 months of rehab just to undo the loss of joint mobility and accompanying muscular atrophy. Then probably another 6-9 months of rehab before I can step on a court again. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, some days I’m good and some days I’m bad. But K-Mart hit the nail on the head: I just keep reminding myself that as long as I treat the rehab with the same sincerity that I treat bball, ima be just fine 💪🏼 all the best to the injured hoopers out there, wishing all of you a speedy recovery
Bob Huggins and the BEARCATS was the TRUTH…..KM’s injury that year jacked me all the way up… I couldn’t even mess with the tourny too tough that year, after he broke his leg:… Dem boys was truly legit!!!!!!
Lol I just want that chair…
Pod gets real,insightful, and makes me laugh. All of the voices on here are cool as hell and I fucks with all y’all. I barely listen to other nba media anymore cuz this podcast just rules
✌️
Tore my achilles may 6th this year hooping, just turned 25 on the 3rd. Had surgery on the 15th, and its just like they said, the first few days people show some concern, then as the weeks go by you just basically get forgotten, and shit i live by myself, so when it gets real quiet at night, it gets LOUD if you know what i mean. them thoughts start to eat away at you. Its like your whole life gets taken away and you start to see who in your life really gives a fuck about you as the "friends" and "lovers" just disappear. but shit this my lowest moment but i'm using it as time to really work on me and become who i want to be. but no lie this the hardest shit i ever had to deal with and im early in my process....battling mental demons but tryna thug it out. just wanna get my life back and get back to ball, come out of this better than before.
1:26 this is the REALEST shit!! You go from being this “star” you get hurt and EVERYONE in your county reaches out and shows love. - which is nice and feels nice, but then when they all inevitably stop, you grown incredibly resentful.
The other hard part is, as an athlete, a lot of your friends are probably athletes as well. MOST of what y’all do is talk about/watch sports and you’re not allowed to do the one thing you want to, so then you start to pull away from the friends that even were there for you.
The REALEST friends are the ones that don’t allow you to pull away and self-isolate. - but there aren’t many of those ones
2 torn achilles, 2 knee reconstructions. When your athletic ability is a big part of your personality, and your body cant do what it used to, your mental state suffers. Check in on your mates.... 💪
Shyt..just getting old with dead knees and not being able to show my son my old "And 1 Mixtape" moves... seeing Youngsters on the court dunking the basketball and I can't do that anymore... That still affects me a lil. 😄
@@mwebster3265 we can show them the moves... we just can't walk for 3 days after... 🤣.
Injury lets you know you’re human and humbles you.
It’s healthy, especially those who feel they’ve been “chosen” which lots of these athletes have been told their whole lives.
As an ex-athlete, my metabolism slowed down outta nowhere and my not recovering from injuries quickly really took a toll on my mental health. Nice to hear from those who went to the highest level of sports keep it 100 especially black men.
P.S. Unless you all are Pan-Africans/RBG's those were the wrong colors for Juneteenth... You can tell these guys aren't truly connected to Black American History and us leaders in the community like they should be. I'll help if you like?
Brinks a hooper. She'll be back better than ever
Man life is real & depression I loved basketball growin up went hard 24/7 n started young.. Family issues ruined me parents cheating moved 11 hrs away up north frm sc so I’m ready to go even more crazy.. Man my mom was so bitter was moving so slick for me not to play.. Dog as good as I was / can be I only got 1 year n hs n barely played my grades was fucked up everything that shit ruined me when I was having away game she a pop up to the school wouldn’t let me go to games shit was hell.. I never n my life through all the drama thought I would go out due to bs like that.. Tried to make 1 more run near end of hs man had a surgery to remove a mass on my hip I was done smh…So always be thankful 2 play that was my only dream n I believed n myself… was really scorching the whole team.. but it be your own ppl who take you out sometimes & u never hear about it both my parents was on bs but my mom hated on what I had influence n and was good at I’m grown now but shit really hurt still hurt a lil cuz I had big plans for myself #facts.
One thing you can’t do is hold something against someone who you feel did something when they were young. Sometimes young ppl don’t fully understand the importance of checking on ppl and relationship maintenance.
Kmart always keeping it real . He speaking the truth
Kenyon martin and demarr johnson at Cincinnati was crazy💪🏽💪🏽💯💯🏀🏀they could have played in the NBA that season😂😂
Kenyon was a monster
@10:08 shoutout to Adam Sandler for checking up on BJ.
They are absolutely right, if your friend dont hit you up or reach out during a low point of your life, that aint your friend.......in college my dad died and one of the guys in my circle never said my condolences or reached out to say sorry for your loss.....I said fuck him......its been 10+ years and its still fuck him.
It definitely sucks tearing an ACL or any injury really but if you really love the game and want to get back that alone should motivate you to work hard and do a good job with rehab in order to get back on that court or field and get back to it. I speak from experience and it's not THAT depressing, it's actually wierdly kinda motivating imo.
Brink is fine asf too. She's going to have a big year next year
Naw women don’t recover from acl rips, there body’s are different
if shes smart she would already have her agent looking for modeling gigs in LA. WNBA is nice, but that shit aint real money. Shes 6'4", thin, and BEAUTIFUL!! She could be making millions in Milan instead of chump change in the WNBA.. 99.999% of the WNBA have to play in the WNBA because they dont have other options, BRINK DOES!!
@@Bornpoeokay so let’s put energy into the air for her to break the mold then instead of larping over the fact that “their bodies are different”
Tf does her being fine have to do with anything?
@@octavius9685 She just looks like any other northern European chick. To each their own but I don't get what y'all mfers be seeing. She look basic as hell to me.
Sucks for Cameron but w some work she’ll be back. When I was younger I was trying to go pro in mountain biking, season hadn’t even started and I had a severe broken wrist doing some stuff I’d done hundreds of times before. Ended up with a dozen screws and cadaver bone. Wrist was never the same. Going into the next season I ruptured my Achilles running. Took a year to recover. So difficult coming back from an Achilles injury… I got mad respect for Kobe being able to play again. It can be done but damn it is hard. Was double hard for people like me cuz at the time I had shitty insurance so I was making $10 an hour having to pay 12k in surgery bills then when I’m close to paying it off now I gotta pay another $15k for the Achilles. After that I got healthy and just rode for pleasure. Even now I’ll see come cool rock feature or jump and I gotta pass it up cuz I can’t afford to miss 6-8 months of time with a wife and kids plus a demanding 9-5. At least she has the best doctors on standby and a great insurance program so she won’t have to worry about having to pay it all back as peace of mind is very important. She’ll be back but it’s going to be work… adversity does make us stronger tho so I got faith she’ll be back stronger.

Maaaan i was hurt when Jennings got hurt. Dawg was cooking.

feeling depressed is real staying depressed is a choice
@@TiburonCapkinda bro . Some peoples brains don’t work like a person who has the ability to flip that switch man . That’s really insensitive . But again some peoples brains are different so I can’t expect u to understand both sides like I do lol . Some people can’t really fight for themselves dawg
@@TiburonCapit sounds harsh to people but it’s real we’re more capable then we think
@@TiburonCapnah
Yup
I swear KMart isn’t lying, you remember who was there, when you’re really going through something, you’ll THINK you really have some REAL ones in your corner, until you find out something different
💯🎯
Whatever happened to the Melo, Jennings, Noah, and Drose Knicks?
6:44 K mart not lying 😂
NOT SPEEDY RECOVERY BUT HEALTHY RECOVERY 🙏
Dang that's a shame =( for her
Kmart been sleeping on Persian cotton for 20 plus years acting tuff😂😂😂😂
K MART to Old to be acting That Tough. He one of my favorite PFs but he startin To give me fake tough guy vibes. him And U.D every chance they get They gotta say how tough they are!
He’s being transparent with how he felt about being injured and his teammate didn’t check on him once.
Cincinnati was the Monstars back then 😂
It'd be fire to have d rose take a seat on the couch
I hope jimmy helps her too
See how it's possible to have an intelligent conversation without trolling, arrogance, and victimizing yourself? But Rashad's blind followers have convinced themselves he's a necessity.
It's all sports buddy, you cant control other people.
@corpyhogan4433 he makes the show, it’s for entertainment and he’s hilarious af. That’s why Keyshawn is awful on undisputed he’s not funny at all, Shannon is
When they actually talk about serious stuff like this he stops the trolling
😂 “Him”. Bruh Kenyon was a god in the state of Ohio. I lived in Columbus and UC Basketball got talked about more the OSU basketball. The best way to describe UC is those mfs were like Thanos. Kenyon getting hurt tore the soul out the state and put the battery in everyone else’s back because there was a chance now.
it kinda feels like they've never had friends. all the surgeries my friend's have ever had, i was checkin in daily, and dont think thats too rare to find. but yall seem like yall never had anyone, even now, that checks in on you, especially during particulary hard times in your lives. and thats euqally as sad.
I remember when I broke my leg in football and it was one guy who would come and check on me… me and him still cool to this day. The rest 🖕🏾
Why would Bill Clinton call Kenyon?🤣
Jimmy Buttler is already on Cameron's door with a massage table, creams and a big smile, ready to go.
Wool socks to bed = most vivid dreams possible🟡
There is no doubt in the world if K Mart didn’t break his leg they would’ve would’ve easily won the NCAA Tournament. That Bearcats team was something to see…
And to confirm what Kenyon said, everything stopped sport wise when he got hurt because he was the best player on the best team.
Think about how Mj23 bounced back from a broken foot ... ? 🤔
Kenyon ain’t the right example for young men lowkey 😂
Who was k mart talking about 🤔
Our bodies were not designed to play sports
First let's go!!
Sorry to burst your little gay bubble but you’re dead wrong like the rest of the first mfs . In my comments rn there’s someone below u … who posted 2 min before you . Bitch
These days like Ken Martin is more emotional than his mama
4:44 - 5:17
Jimmy butler waiting with flowers
i honestly dont expect anyone to check on me. LOL. its always solo dolo no matter what.
I wonder who that team mate of k mart
Bill done deleted a lot of Haitians but he cool tho lol
No diddy to the teammates laying in the bed with kenyon
Idk what family members glad BJ was hurt. Never been in his position or have his family but they didnt like him way before that injury if he found that out. Jealous/competitive friends I can see. They wanted his spot
Entitled family members. Listening to Brandon Jennings who rarely talks on the pod. He made mention he was playing for bill money at an early age. He spoke on how his mom and I think agent screwed him over financially. He’s made comments like just because their are family don’t mean they are looking out for your best interest. Few other statements in various episodes. Leads me to believe a lot of folks in his family had their hand out because he was the cash cow. And when you tell those people no. They can’t handle it.
