Welcome to the premiere episode of "What's Driving You" with your host, Keyon Dooling!
In this powerful inaugural episode, Keyon sits down with his brothers and fellow NBA veterans, Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles of the legendary "Knuckleheads" podcast. This isn't just a basketball conversation; it's a raw and honest look at the lifelong bond they share, the pressures of NBA stardom, and the personal tragedies they navigated behind the scenes.
Quentin Richardson opens up about losing his mother at a young age and how basketball became his sanctuary. Both he and Darius Miles share their struggles with depression, injuries, and how they coped when the conversation around mental health in sports was nonexistent. They also dive into the origin story of the "Knuckleheads" podcast, the influence of their late friend Chris Bernard, and give crucial advice on financial literacy and perseverance to the next generation of athletes.
This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in the untold stories behind the game, the power of brotherhood, and the real-life challenges that shape a player's journey.
