Out of Bounds with Chris Herren

This week coach blu interviews formor NBA Player Chris Herren on his ability to tour the mess of an addiction into the message of the Herren Project helping others  overcome addiction. Herren grew up in Fall River, Mass., a high school basketball phenom and McDonald’s All American who went on to play for Boston College before being kicked out for cocaine use. He went to Fresno State to finish his college career, missing part of a season to get drug treatment, and was eventually the 33rd pick in the 1999 NBA draft, going to the Denver Nuggets. There, he had a team that knew about his struggles and provided a structure that kept him sober. When he went home to Massachusetts during the offseason, his old habits re-emerged and after being traded to his hometown Celtics and suffering an injury, his addiction took over.
