    Pretty cool thing Royce is doing. And for those not saying he earned that money, you can argue that athletes don't deserve as much as they make.

    More money to the teachers and police please. Less to the entertainment business.

    White has issues. He doesn't seem to be very good at dealing with those issues. I'd have reservations about going to a mental health clinic founded by a guy who seems unable to deal with his own mental health issues? If he's unsuccessfully able to cope, why should I trust that his clinic would be able to help me?

    People who lead rehab groups are often former addicts who've conquered their demons and put their lives on better paths. You wouldn't go to a rehab meeting led by somebody currently using. So why would you go to a clinic founded by a guy who's still messed up?

    Personally I would trust them more than the guy who has no idea what it is like to have such an illness. Its a scary issue that many people have, and White should be commended for this. He seemed to cope pretty well in college. The Rockets didn't give him enough time to do so in Houston, which is a much different environment than the one he played in at college. And for those that aren't too familiar with him, it took a good deal of time for him to adjust there as well(Iowa st). Guy may be crazy, but he can't help it. Now that he is doing good you distrust the idea of attending his mental illness center? Reality check, you don't seem to have a mental illness.

    Why do we have to give him props? The place hasn't opened yet and it hasn't turned a profit. I bet it never happens.

    The apostrophe in "Mind's" pretty much sums up all that is Royce White.

    Say what you want about him as a Rocket but that was really cool that he is opening up a free mental health clinic. I have a couple friends who are severely depressed/ bi polar and it's pretty damn sad how badly mental health is overlooked in this country. I'm out here in Cali and the Homeless & Mental Illness are overlooked and both out here almost go hand in hand. Congrats and Thank you to Mr. Royce White
