NBA All-Star. Grieving son. Survivor.
In Episode 9 of Health Is Wealth, Dr. Myron Rolle sits down with five-time NBA All-Star John Wall for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about health, identity, and healing from the inside out.
John opens up about the darkest season of his life—losing his mother to breast cancer, suffering a near-career-ending Achilles injury, battling infection, and nearly losing the ability to walk.
But beyond the physical pain, it was the emotional toll that reshaped him: the grief, the fear, the pressure to keep going when everything was falling apart. Through it all, John stayed grounded by one mission—to honor his mother’s legacy by using his voice to advocate for others.
Topics include:
- His mother’s breast cancer battle and passing
- The Achilles injury that nearly ended his career
- Facing the possibility of amputation and losing mobility
- Mental health, masculinity, and asking for help
- Fatherhood, legacy, and giving back through the John Wall Foundation
- Why early detection and cancer screening save lives
