Keyon Dooling - Players Tribune Article

This is a direct copy/pasta from the general board. Thought it was a powerful read on a topic that gets quickly dismissed now days. Plus I remember him fondly from his Orlando days.

Keyon shares his story on Players'Tribune, and it shows you the hidden dark side of the celebrity/money.

That was an incredible article to read. Thank you for sharing this OP. Always liked Keyon when he was with the Magic and I am very happy to hear that he was able to overcome those demons with the help of his doctor, teammates, Boston upper management, and his family. His story is very inspirational for anyone who suffers from mental health. It is no joke to mess with whatsoever.

One helleva read. I'm sorry Keyon when though such a heinous situation. I'm glad he was able to get the help and support he needed to confront his past event so he can be able to reclaim his self back once again. Keep God in the plan! He'll always get you though any situation.

What a fantastic read. He always seemed like a stand up guy. Also, this just goes to show how truly great that Boston organization really is.
