I went to school in Fresno and played high school ball there during Chris Herren's time with the Bulldogs. He was already a legend before he got there. Maybe notorious was also the word because everyone knew he was still partying. But it's crazy everyone always pulled for him. Once and a while the TH-cam gods will suggest a channel or video with Chris Herren talking about his drug addiction and overcoming it. I always finish the video even though I know his story from the beginning. It's really cool af that he's become a star and hero but not in the game of basketball but in the game of life and that's the most important game. "If you were a kid, would you look up to you". Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Keep up the good fight man. Go Dogs!

I can relate to your story for so many reasons. For 1 I lost my twin brother to a hit and run accident when I was still in my addiction and thanks to the Lord I’m 5 years and 2 days sober. You see my sobriety date is on July 17 2017 my mom’s birthday is on July 19 which is today and I can honestly say that my mom has her son back thank you 😊 for your story.

@Patrick Reilly That makes no sense. You are trying way too hard.

Chris had the talent to be an NBA Hall of Fame Player. He was that good and he truly lost everything but his wife & 3 kids to Heroin.
He speaks from his heart and is an excellent speaker.

It's incredible how good of a dedicated woman this man had. He put her through the worst hell ever and they still made it as far as I know. I love this guy's story and I envy his outcome.
