Basketball Junkie with Chris Herren
A basketball star in high school, Chris Herren went on to play at Boston College and then Fresno State. After college, he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets. He then realized a childhood dream and went on to play for the Boston Celtics. His meteoric success concealed a darker side. Chris started abusing alcohol, cocaine, painkillers, and then heroin, and nearly lost everything. Chris will share his harrowing tale and tell how he found a way back to life.
