Chris Herren on Being Teammates w/ Rafer Alston, Nick Van Exel Covering His Gambling Debt (Part 4) 

I'll never forget when Chris came to my high school 11 years ago and told his story about addiction and all the money and fame and family he lost . I never thought sitting there listening to him that day that I'd be an addict today. I wish i would've gotten the help back then i needed to have the tools to be sober today. Im so proud of this man and i pray that I'll get it too.

“Alcohol has never been my friend”. That’s lowkey a powerful statement

Nick Van axel is a legend 💛💜👑💯🐐

Shout out to Chris Herren for continuing to fight and stay strong much love...

His grant saved my life. Ty Chris

Nick Van Exel is my uncle. I remember as a kid when they use to come to Dallas to play the Mavericks and me and Nick Van exels son who is my cousin would go in the locker room with this Denver Nuggets Roster. Antonio, him , Robert Pack. Those were the good days

It’s great to see Chris still doing his thing. I remember seeing his documentary when it came out. Lost more friends and family than I can count at this point. Started with Oxy, then it was heroin, and now fentanyl is killing everybody. Spent my 20’s watching my favorite artists pass and my best friends. To all of those in need of help, please go find that before you end up dying. I know that you think you have some special connection with drugs and you can shoot dope all day or drink lean or pop another pill but I swear you’re gonna stop breathing. Then everyone you loved is absolutely broken for the rest of their life. This isn’t some shame game but the reality of someone who has lived the life and ran with the best. But, they’re gone too because no one is supposed to feel that bad. Shame doesn’t work, guilt tripping, talking, etc. This is me saying love those people and encourage and if you’re someone wanting to do the deal, then find what works for you. This dude is a great example of someone still doing the deal. Thank you Chris for being an inspiration to someone like myself and others. I hope you and your family stay blessed. Everybody take care of yourself and don’t forget that the world is a weird place, so keep it weird and find your own lane. The best kind of people are the honest ones, just remember that in the future when you think about doing some sketchy shit. ✌️

I was a few years behind Chris in HS. We grew up in the same neighborhood. This kid helps so many city kids to this day. Whole city has been proud of this man for so long. It's awesome seeing him on this platform. His brother and pops are great guys. Love seeing a home boy do good in life

I've always respected people who tell the real story even if it makes them look bad.

MAJOR props to Pres for making sure Chris knows his mom sees him sober even in the afterlife. That was a great human response. Oftentimes journalists handle uncomfortable silences by just moving on

Dope ass interview Vlad TV. Awesome job Coach PR you guys meshed and flowed really well throughout this, he has an amazing story.

My health teacher just made us watch a documentary on his drug addiction a couple weeks ago lol

i remember being 16 and he came and spoke at my high school i was blazed outta my mind thinking that will never be me and i ended up addicted to opiates for 7-8 years. this shit doesn’t care who, what, or the color of your skin it will suck you in like no other. i actually got clean at the same place he did 2 almost 3 years ago he always gives back to them.

Awesome job!! Great interview so far

It's incredible to see the recovery he has gone through these past 15 years. Proud of this guy.

I just saw this and was prayed Vlad wasn't interviewing him

Westfresno in the hse..use to watch Chris at Fresno state at the old school Selland Arena...

your only as happy as ur unhappiest child.....damn that's deep... any parent can relate to that

I’m from Fresno I watched all his games crazy

I had a basketball video game back in the 90s that when you look at the season stats it was a player from Denver tha was averaging like 25 a game and they had him as a white player on team full of ballers and his name was Chris herren. I always thought it was a made up player. Now I know.

solid interviewing. less is more. empathetic and perspicacious

If you haven’t, check out Chris Herron’s 30 for 30 “unguarded”. It’s an amazing biography.

I show the Chris Herren dvd to my tx groups.? They love it.

Man I hope he's coaching 🏀 today. He's definitely got the look of that old school grizzled East Coast Basketball Coach

Alimoe (RIP) was supposed to be on Fresno with Chris and Skip but he hocked his plane ticket and dipped on Coach Tark.

We use to watch our legends as kids in the NoShow. Chris, Demetrius, Jeffries, Rafe! They were our big homies… use to speak with rafe in hair affair then go out and do his moves in my high school games! Thank all these guys for showing love. Shout out Javance Coleman and Deshaun Stevenson also!! DShaun, Rafer, Bruce, Jeffries we have true ballers/addicts/ hustlers inn my town. Unfortunately rafe son got himself a major case rn! The streets are hot in Fresno

It's getting past the junk and leaving it. Keep progressing Chris In JESUS Merciful Name

The Great Alaska ShootOut and The High School Classic✨✨🏀💪🏽✨✨. Was Huge in Alaska. Great Times in November and Thanksgiving Week❄️👌🏽😎❄️

If you kno basketball. U kno this guy was a bucket

Seeing Chris in the draft was nuts in the city. Every bar in the city was going nuts

Me and the homies went to see Fresno St. play his Jr. and Senior years when they played SDSU here in San Diego!

I work at a male jail and 3/4 of the guys are in for drug abuse or drug distribution. I would love to have Chris Herren speak to these guys about his recovery.

I've watched everybody he said plus some I've been watching since my boy Carl Ray Harris was there..

Hazing rookies such as making them pay for dinners for example is more of an NFL thing from what I have heard/read and it's pretty much 1round picks

The parts are longer cuz he lets them talk and not try and cut them off you interviewing that’s what it’s called!

Its actually not tough being u. The effects of the drugs is telling u that

Popeye jones. I remember him

He had everybody Ja goofy ass needs. Instead it’s a team full of busters assisting him in failing in hopes they can shine. It’s a dirty game

Ngl this the greatest vlad interview in the fucking book and vlad ain’t even interviewing

❤

Man he forgot T Roberson

Enjoying this video while letting off some big farts

worst thing that happened to him was going to the celtics

Vlad should've done this interview himself smh

Thought it said chris Hansen, nvm

I always hated Mike Wallace after this. Wallace did some smile to your face and stab you in the back BS
