Former NBA player issues a wake-up call at Hatboro-Horsham
By Mike Prince
Back on June 4, 2008, former basketball star Chris Herren
overdosed on heroin, drove into a utility pole and was declared dead for 30
seconds by paramedics. It was, for lack
of a better term, his wake-up call.
It wasn’t the last time the former Massachusetts high school
All-American and second-round NBA Draft pick used drugs, but it was the
beginning of his road to rehabilitation.
Now, roughly 4½ years later, Herren, who is more than 1,600
days sober, continues to tell his story, hoping he can make a difference in people’s
lives by helping them to avoid the same mistakes he made for 14 years of his
life.
