Last week, Chris Herren came to talk to the seniors of Stroudsburg High School about drug and alcohol abuse. For Herren, it is a subject that hits close to home.
Once touted as the next best thing and was projected to be a 1st round pick in the NBA Draft, Herren’s addiction got the best of him.
After playing two seasons in the league with the Nuggets and Celtics, Herren went overseas. His addiction continued and cost him his basketball career and almost his life.
