Since late last year, former NBA player Kyle Singler has been posting concerning videos on Instagram. In an early video, Singler said that he fears for his life every day, sparking concern among the NBA community.

In response, a number of players with ties to Singler such as Kevin Love wished him well while offering a helping hand.

Additionally, the NBA Players Association reached out to Kyle Singler’s family back in November, in an attempt to get the vet some help. Since then, it appears as though little has changed for Singler, who continues to post videos from his house.

In a series of posts on Thursday, Kyle Singler issued a message to members of the media. In them, he said that he wants to get a story out about how parents can negatively impact their kids through mental, physical and spiritual abuse.

“Calling out to all media sources that, again, want to get a story out by parents that negatively affect their kid. Parents that take advantage and abuse their children physically, mentally, spiritually. I’m one of them. Any news source that wants a f**king story, come here. I will give you a story, bar f**king none.”

While Singler’s video cuts out at the end, it appears as though it picks up in another video posted separately where the NBA vet goes on to say that his child is being used against him.

“Nobody wants to be helpful” – Kyle Singler doesn’t want the help of medication or therapy

As previously mentioned, late last year, Kyle Singler’s posts on social media created such a stir that the NBA Players Association got involved and reached out to his family.

After seeing how the NBA community, and in particular, former Mavericks majority owner Mark Cuban, rallied around NBA vet Delonte West, fans hoped that Singler could also get some help.

Since then, however, there’s been no real word on the situation, with no further updates beyond the fact that Singler continues to post on social media.

In a post this week, however, Kyle Singler indicated that people in his life want him to attend therapy and take medication. However, he has no intentions of doing so.

“I have people in my life that are threatening me to again, just jerk- continuing to jerk me around until I get on medication, I get a therapist, I go to therapy, psychology, you name it. And nobody, again, wants to be helpful in listening to somebody tell them, ‘Hey, I don’t want to do that. That’s not really help.’”

The video then abruptly cuts out like many of the others posted on his page.

While he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to take medication or go to therapy, so far, it’s unclear what kind of help Singler is looking for.

In a previous video posted earlier in the week, he indicated that he wanted to open a first-of-its-kind Yoga studio, saying that it would take the effort of more people than just him to pull it off. Meanwhile, the fans and the NBA community can only wonder what they can do to help Singler.
