Part 2: • Chris Herren Passed on...
--------
In this clip, Chris Herren talked about growing up in Massachusetts and playing basketball in an area obsessed with hoops, specifically high school hoops at Durfee High, where he played. Chris recalled the tough love he received from his father, who dealt with alcoholism, and how his parenting was affected by it. Chris also recalled a moment of his father’s tough love in action after he played poorly in the McDonald’s All-American game.
Chris Herren later discussed the immense pressure he was under coming in at Durfee High, where he was one of a long line of Durfee hoopers, beginning with his grandfather. He opened up about experimenting with drugs early on in high school but said it was just part of the culture at the time. Chris also dished on the current crop of hoopers coming up who have trainers, pointing out that he got better playing in his driveway.

This is by far, hands down, going to be the realest interview and realest person to ever grace the VLADTV channel and I haven’t even started watching it yet. This man went through the flames of hell on a Mary go round. I’ve been there. He made it out and I did as well with help from stories like his. That if he could bounce back and become a sober being, then I knew there was hope for me too. I’m not a firm believer in hope, just faith, but when your in the midst of a black abyss, a pit with no bottom, hope is all you have. Chris if you ever read this brother, tears are actually coming from my eyes as I type this message, thank you

Dude scored like 30 in a Celtics game and hit game winning shot after snorting 2 OC 80s right before tip off. He wasn't even going to play if his dealer didnt show up on time and dude showed up with like 10 minutes to tip off. Obviously not something thats a highlight but shows his the skills he had. Came into a noon game at Fresno St after staying up snorting coke all night and beat a top team in the country

Anyone who wants to watch an inspiring, real, gritty, amazing story you need to check it out. This dude basically made it to the nba and played with the Boston Celtics while being a full time opiate addict. Talks about how he was in warmups at the Garden waiting for his dealer to pull up and drop off the OxyContin. Respect to Vald for getting this man on here m🙏🙏🔥🔥

As a person that used to do wild sh in high school, I feel telling stories of doing drugs while on public platform does more damage than good for kids. Example: I would tell a friend about me doing mushrooms, almost k***ing myself on it, and somewhere-somehow my friend wanted to do mushrooms after this. The more famous you are the more chances the story is taken like that. Because they see him successful and think if he did drugs and succeeded then they "can" That's the one kid that ODs on same thing Chris did. Drug conversations are very tricky with kids. Telling personal stories can really backfire, because then your kid knows what kind of wild sh his dad was on. Being sober is more valuable to you, and you should explain that to a kid, rather than telling him what kind of drugs you did. I got stories, but telling this to my kid just to say it...absolutely not Not that I am ashamed now, I understand my path, but kids, man...be very careful with your childhood stories, because kids relate and try it. Fentanyl is taking kids and adults from this planet, and in this era doing x pills can be lethal from the first pill you take. Because it might have fentanyl in it. Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin, 10 times stronger than morphine. This is real problem. Doing any kind of strong drugs now can take you with 1 try. No more OD and recovery, just straight to the other side, gone physically. End for you.
