I didn’t go the recovery or 12 step route. But once the pills led to H, and the H led to fent, by the time it hit me I had lost and hurt everyone. Watching Chris, Brandon Novak, sprinkled in with some David goggins...I’m extremely fortunate to say I’m at 412 days sober. Love❤ and strength if you’re going through this vicious cycle.

He came to my school and told his story when I was a freshman. Stand up dude.

Don’t let his modesty fool you . He was incredible player . I loved that reality show about the Fresno state team . He was just so good . Handle, marksmen shooter etc . But he is an even better of a spokesman for recovery. ❤️🙏💯

I admire this man!! 15 years sober is an incredible accomplishment sir!! And believe me, I know how difficult it is to fight that urge every single day. It never goes away!!

This dude could straight up hoop, remember him back in the day. If you think I'm lying watch highlight clips of Chris.

I've met Chris a few times he's amazing person he's done alot for the community in Massachusetts good man right there

If you ever played ball in new England. you know this man a legend

It’s nice to see an interview of someone who’s not completely full of bs This dude is so consumed w emotion telling his story that you can literally see on his face and in his tone how full of regrets he is.

I remember him talking to us in New Bedford high school, 20 minutes away from his apartment in Fall River, I NOW live in Fall River 😅 this man is a local hero fr fr EVERYONE knows him for spreading the good word even if he wasn’t in the best position himself 🙏 solid dude

That’s deep when he said change his kids memory salute Chris your a true success story and a amazing story teller

His story is remarkable. Keep fighting the good fight!

Dude played at tha gahden dope sick. Tragically legendary. Fall River is like a small Providence, them & New Bedford for all intense purposes are a county.

I always wondered what happened to this guy. I'm glad to see he's thriving

Fre$No stand Up!! One of the dopest PG’s ever

I remember him. I hate the Celtics but its great to see him doing well and turning it all around.

What an excellent storyteller

Putting on for my city never thought I’d see this day I still wish he left and made it big would’ve put us on the map

Wow damn smh that's crazy honesty is everything

I was in Dedham house of corrections seen this documentary about him it’s was dope Boston in the house

This one was dope

If you haven’t seen his Espn special you gotta watch.

Coach PR be doing his HW, respect

Keep ur head up Chris, don't be hard on yourself.....GOd BLess bro

It takes an opioid addict to spot an addict. Small pupils, slightly shiny glaze to eyes. You notice the withdrawal symptoms more. You can tell when an addict is high they have “euphoria” behaviours. Some people Clean, some people jabber, it’s hard to explicitly see. Even benzo addiction shows signs and slurring. I was a opiate addict from 14-28, still on methadone

This man was a dog with the ball back in the day iykyk fall river is a hard town to get out of drugs everywhere

Childhood friend proud of you brother

This man been thru some shit but made it out at the end to be able and tell his story....Salute to you my guy and he can ball 🏀 as well

He came to my high school when I was a kid I laughed and said I'll never be like him I was nodding off in assembly I been through a lot since then but now I'm sober

Vlad on a legendary run

I know him n his wife n the family absolutely amazing people...funny can take a joke n give 1 awesome guy n my respect is beyond for chris but also his wife shes the rock cool cool people

Dude was so ill. To play professionally and be that addicted to multiple different hard drugs. There won’t ever be another one like this one. It’s just impossible to stay on hard drugs and make it at the same time. So damn talented.

Good interview

He played with Rafer alston at Fresno st he was a beast

As a Boston native this a w interview

People who haven't been there fail to understand, as a heroin addict you aren't getting "high" . You are a mess when you don't have it, you take your opiates and it gets you to "normal" you're not really high, the coach would only be able to see the chaos or you "not" having your fix

They say weed ain’t addictive. But I remember leaving my kids too to go meet my dude for a 3.5. Fellas if u got kids and a good woman in ya life don’t f it up! The new beginning is right around the corner

I’ve done all that. Stole from family, friends, strangers, stores. I used to get high and smoke all my moms cigarettes. I’d fall asleep on the couch with lit smokes still burning. I remember setting my mattress on fire more than a couple times. Only to wake up, walk to the local bar/gas stations and dig thru public ash treys. People would stare at me and call me out or chase me down but I didn’t care. I’d grab a fist full and run off back to the house to smoke them or roll the butts into new cigs. I’d eat sweets all night nodding out literally eating my Parents out of house and home.. that was 3 years ago but it feels like a lifetime. I’ve accomplished so much since then and it’s very strange looking back on those times. I don’t even smoke anymore lol…

Official interview

I watched that documentary I know his story real well, dude was beast used to ball out while being on opiate during NBA games

Chris was nice on the court too!

Dope story dude need a movie on prime t.v

Fallriver 💪🏼 whooop!!! We finally made it lmao for our druggies

bro was a beast on them thangs . imagine ....

Him and Courtney were unreal together

There is nothing as stressful as being opiate pill addict and run out of pills..talk about frantic. Its despair,stress etc.. never want to go thru that shit again.

Fall River Mass he good man

He was real nice o remember him at Fresno with Rafer and Roberson they had talent was all messed up though

I wore a sweater like that to F45.

Addiction is a disease, and it doesn’t matter who you are or how successful you are, it can affect anyone, im also in recovery and to give ppl an idea of how strong addiction is, you lit view drugs as a basic need to survive, similar to how normal ppl view food, water, oxygen, shelter etc, until u get clean and the drugs out of your system, is when that changes, but you still have to deal with the issues that got you there,

Here before the fake tk kirkland

Waiting for The Onion headline: "Man who was never an alcoholic or drug addict gets no credit."

When youre in the drug addiction life you NEED that drug or you’re not getting out of bed.

Being sober isn’t so bad.. I’ve realized that more the older I get

Wow.

I know his friends and family We're roughly the same age and from Fall River Read both books Watched the espn doc countless interviews and speeches... His stories don't change BUT new ones seem to pop up that someone like me should've really heard by now I just heard another one I don't believe it's revealed anywhere in the book, doc or anywhere else that says he was living in a bad area in Fallriver while playing in Boston In fact, many times he outlines husslin from the practice facilities to Fallriver then back to his house/condo somewhere in a suburbs near Boston (Waltham?) He says he told his wife he was staying late to get in more practice/training Maybe the drugs messed up his memory a little? And this memory was revealed much later But this one isn't a small detail Can you imagine one of the Celtics today living in a second floor tenement in the South end FR? ( Not a particularly nice area if you don't know) That wouldn't just be a massive red flag but it'd probably become a news story I don't live in a shitty area and if a professional athlete lived in my neighborhood it'd be a huge deal

Stop interrupting him, bro 😂

UNGUARDED ..

John Lucas is a great dude.

we was the star at frenso state not rafer Alston

I think they fixed the NCAA tourny game...someone should ask him

Poland seems like it would be the easiest to find heroin it’s next to Germany

Where Vlad at 🤦🏾‍♂️

Imagine if Chris Herron was on the right road during his career. He could he been a superstar. sad no one could have taken him under their wing...

This interviewer is killing me..stop trying to complete his sentences

How does one get high at halftime?

Don’t do drugs, kids.

the problem with Coach's interviews is he clearly doesn't know how to just shut up and let the guest finish their statements 🤦🏿‍♂️. He literally just says what's in his head when it pops in there regardless of if the interviewee is still talking or trying to finish answering what he just asked them 5 seconds ago 🤦🏿‍♂️.....like bro, do you actually play these back and study to improve?? Foolishness smh 😒

Why would he live so far? Fall rivah at least an hour from the boston garden

he does have documentary!!

We use to watch docs on him in school and I'm 40

He super modest, but Chris Herren was a 🪣🪣🪣🪣🪣

Not hearing vlad gets boring

Shout out to Fall River lol

He only played 25 games for Boston lol

Fall River is the worse lmao

wow. interviewer was just a dude they picked up at the train station in a pinch?

I hate how bro keep interrupting. Let him finish a thought fam.

This guy was more turnt before than these rappers

Damn dawg...The Celtics spread the BS evenly, Reggie Lewis literally stayed in harbor point housing projects above my old gf....

This dude looks like he was in the mob....like an associate, or knock around guy
