NEW: Johnny Manziel says LeBron James tried taking him under his wing when he was suffering from depression that resulted in him trying to take his own life.
Respect.
Manziel discussed his regrets & took ownership for his mistakes he made in college & in the NFL.
Manziel said he wants to apologize to anyone he wronged, specifically his teammates and role models he ignored.
โLeBron would text me every week to come over to the house and watch a game or play poker with the boys and just tried to be there.โ
โI was so depressed for the first time in my life that even my biggest role model and inspiration in my life couldn't get me outta bed to come and hang out with him.โ
โI was dragging everybody that was tied to me through the mud. Now it's regret.โ
โI owe those people apology and hopefully one day down the line I'll be able to have the opportunity as a man to be able to look him in the eye and be able to do that.โ
Why is there time to debate this. One is the best scorer of all time and the other had a great team to win a championship with. Thereโs room for both of them to be spoken of.
Thoughts on GREATNESS. Please stop the dumb race baiting commentary around Caitlin & Angel. Also.. a note to all you fake *** hoopers. Keyboard warriors donโt win 1v1s. Remember that.. #AgeOldProverbFromTheBookOfHoops
