Michael Carter-Williams talks overcoming depression, highs and lows of NBA career, love of MMA

This week’s guest is a veteran leader on the Orlando Magic: point guard Michael Carter-Williams.
On today's show, MCW discusses the following with fellow Syracuse alum Ariel Helwani:
- His battles with injuries and if he considered hanging it up after
missing all of the 2021-22 season
- What it's like being the oldest member of the youthful Magic
- His MMA fandom and why he likes to train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu
- Battles with mental health issues and how he's overcome them
- What it was like to hire -- and later fire -- his mother as his manager
- Getting drafted in the same class as and playing with perennial MVP
candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo
- And much more!
