This dude was the real deal. When he played for Tarkanian, crowds harrassed him and he was a stone cold killer. Can't believe he was waiting for his drugs outside of the Boston Garden in his warm ups.
He's only 3 years clean. He needs more time before he can be a legit coach. God forbid he get's paid and get's that itch. BTW, his wife is smoking hot---real cute girlComment -
this coming from a gamblerOriginally posted by InTheDrink no such thing as addiction, reallyComment -
That story standing outside Boston Garden in his uniform waiting for his drug dealer is unreal
This is a must watchComment -

I'm sure it is, but what might be a dump to you or me could be a special place to Chris Herren because that's his home. Even with his falling into drugs, he's currently doing a fantastic job of representing it with pride. More power to him. Seem's like a good dude trying to battle his deamons.Comment -
those 30's for 30 are awesomeComment -
guy went outside to smoke a cigarette and walked straight to the liquor store. can't imagine being that out of control.Comment -

yeah because no one gambles for recreationOriginally posted by SportsMushroom
read why there's no such thing as addiction and stick around this board and you will reinforce my point
funny how guys can clean up when their talent is irrelevant.....herren is a scumbag....fukk him...he couldnt handle the pressure of being a star....period.....and now that he's not a supertalent he's clean...fuk that guyComment -
just an awesome piece. jj, u live in trenton? thats where I'm at. not the hood part but suburbs if u wanna it that.Originally posted by VegasInsiderComment -
great documentaryComment -
FYI for those who never heard of the guy keep in mind this was made for tv documentary
Ratings and DVD/blu ray sales should be fantasticComment -
good piece..he looks like he can still play in europe. hate to say it but relapse is very likely unless he cuts all ties to his hometown and lifelong friends.Comment -
Heather one of a kind girl to love him for who he was regardless of how he acted and his past etc.Comment -
It's the same with most cities in southern new England.Originally posted by jjgold
Ever heard of central falls? Yeah.... its probably just as bad as camden. Woonsocket? Olneyville? New Bedford?Comment -
From what I've personally heard about.Chris....its actually worse then they described.Originally posted by InTheDrinkComment -
great documentary thoroughly enjoyed itComment -
Sad fuking story. Drugs can fuk you up, and pressure doesn't help either.Comment -
you can tell when they are interviewing his mother and the pain in her eyes and just how beat down she was from this that it was worse than they described. just like he said...a nightmareOriginally posted by BrianLavertyComment -
99.9% of Fall River guys are schmucks.
This is the one guy who had talent, and his "boys" pulled him back down. They told him that he was no different.
And he fell for it. Don't feel bad for this guy.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
not sure if anyone is feeling bad for him but at least he is clean and spreading his story, he could reach some ppl n help turn their lives aroundComment
