Johnny Manziel: “When I was in Cleveland, LeBron James would text me every week to come over and watch a game or play poker with the boys… I was so depressed that even the biggest role model in my life couldn’t get me out of bed to hang out with him.”

Is there an NBA equivalent to Johnny Manziel?
Amazing interview
I only know this guy because of an old Drake song « Draft Day » so random lol
“your worst days prepare you for your best days”

Johnny Football 🫰😂🫰
shame on you LeGamble
Fuck Manziel
I saw Johnny Manziel absolutely zooted in Cleveland around 2015/16, iirc. Dude could party.
This was a great interview though. You rarely see people take accountability like he did.
Honestly gotta respect the openness
manziel used to date a girl whos sister was dating chandler parsons
Such a sad waste of talent. If he gets help and enters the league in a good state of mind I really think he would’ve have been special. An electric player at times who just had “it”
Poker parties with Lebron weren’t going to change the fact that dude couldn’t make nfl throws
Bet you 20 bucks if LeBron had texted him “let’s go hang out with frat bros and drink cheap liquor” he’d run right out of bed
Waaaah i was so high i couldnt leave my mansion to go to lebrons mansion waaah.
Lived in CS during the Johnny years. Even kicked him out of a bar I worked at because he was 19 lol. Interesting story of a guy. Kinda sad, but definitely not as bad as it could’ve been. Glad to see him getting some clarity on his life
Andrew Bynum
He looks like 30 going on Hitler.
…Wow. People would kill for that chance.
Yeah coke does that to you
Oj mayo maybe
I saw a guy review his college film. He was likely never going to be that good. He got bailed out a lot by A&M’s receivers and often made a lot of bad reads. He didn’t have the legs either in the NFL to outrun guys. In college. god damn was a show. People say that he partied his way out but there is a very good chance that even if he tried, he was either going out ,too, or deep on a bench. He just made bad reads and had a lot of bad habbits he developed in college.
Boo hoo
damn. i know he’s talked openly about how he wasn’t working hard or anything but i didn’t know he was depressed like that. that’s really sad but it’s cool how open he’s being about everything, also common W from Lebron trying to pull him out of it
Quit giving this loser the attention he craves.
As a Bama alum, I don’t think I’ve seen many dudes in college ball as hard as Johnny. Dude was a freak. Goes to show how important mental health is.
If LeFraud was his biggest role model that says everything.
I can’t diagnose anyone with substance abuse issues, but after watching the Netflix doc & being an alcoholic in recovery myself, I feel like he’s using mental health as a scapegoat to his alcoholism, maybe I’m reaching idk
