Since coming forward with his own anxiety issues, Kevin Love has become a person at the forefront of a more public discussion of mental health in society.
Wednesday, he went on the social isolation edition of Trevor Noah’s “The Daily Show” and talked about how the isolation and loneliness caused by social distancing can be “devastating” at this time for people battling depression and anxiety.
“I think continuing to create community at this time, that’s a huge thing... speaking of social isolation, it has made navigating this time very, very different,” Love said. (See his full comments in the video above.)
Noah also asked Love about the return of the NBA — Love said he had no idea but thinks this makes it even more open to any team getting the title — and about the Cleveland forward becoming one of the first players to donate money toward a fund to help arena workers who have no job to go to right now.
“I thought it was important to take care of people who had taken care of me so long,” Love said of his donation.
Watch the video above. You get a real sense of how Love is trying to adapt to a new reality, just like the rest of us.
