Did anyone else watch this last night? It's about Chris Herren a former top college prospect who could have had a promising NBA career but threw it all away because of a drug addiction. I remember him when he played at Fresno State and he was an unbelieveable point guard/shooting guard. He had a deadly outside shoot, great court awarenesss and the fire inside of him that most coaches love. It's a sad story what happened to him but I'm glad he turned his life around and now using his past demons to help those around him. I have to give his wife tons of credit for sticking by him when his only care in the world was finding his next fix. Highly recommended.

I watched this too, absolutely excellent documentary. Maybe the best sports doc I've seen espn do. Being a huge big east b-ball fan, I remember the hype he was getting as a freshman at BC. Quite a rollercoaster of a story, and living up in Mass., kind of interesting to watch the relation to his hometown Fall River, MA....which is an absolute dump.

I steer clear of Fall River, Taunton and New Bedford.

I've really enjoyed almost all the 30 for 30s. A great concept that yielded some really amazing stuff. A lot of it depressing, but always with a little bit of hope. Like a Clippers season.
