Quiet Storm: The Ron Artest Story, a documentary about former NBA player Metta World Peace, premiered Friday night on Showtime.

The film focuses on the importance of mental health among athletes and was released during Mental Health Awareness Month.

In the clip above, Artest discusses how he "learned how to cook crack," which made the concept of hustling drugs an "intriguing" option while growing up in New York City.
