--------
In this clip, Chris Herren discussed getting into a huge bar fight while at Fresno St. which prompted the local SWAT team to be deployed to arrest him. He talked about the pressure he felt playing at Fresno St. and maintaining his spot in a highly competitive program. Chris also commended Fresno St. for not taking a punitive approach to his drug addiction and actually tried getting him help.
Later, Chris Herren talked about being the subject of a Fox documentary which felt more like a reality show for him after he left rehab and returned to his team at Fresno St. He then recounted speaking with the legendary Mike Wallace for ’60 Minutes’ and what that conversation entailed. Chris also opened up about his decision to return to college after that season citing his desire to win as the main reason.
Herren revealed he nervous about entering the NBA Draft. After going 33rd to the Denver Nuggets, Chris recalled his rookie experience and how he only made $303K on his first deal. He also said that he cried when he was traded away from Denver after establishing a sense of camaraderie with his Nuggets teammates.
Interview by: Coach PR
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.
Man god loves u this shit touched me, keep striving brother soon you'll get over it but search for help
One day at a time
Wow that's crazy
I wish you success
U from Fresh clothes? Man back then it use to be so lit early 2000’s. The world got onto drugs we had already been doing 20 yrs ago. Meth heads were ramped, tar and weed n oxi too. Fresno really births addicts just like Boston and Vegas. We all addicts to something !! Pray and find something else that you can fiend over that’s healthy bruh
“Alcohol has never been my friend”. That’s lowkey a powerful statement
Nick Van axel is a legend 💛💜👑💯🐐
Facts still mad the lakers traded him
What he has been through as a father really tested his manhood!!!!
@@gregoryporter8627 he’s definitely strong , it’s a sad situation
@@gregoryporter8627 that’s my uncle. I was close to his son which is my 1st cousin
He was a beast on the NBA jam video game lol
Shout out to Chris Herren for continuing to fight and stay strong much love...
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
Chris always been cool. Mike can be a loud mouth d*ck sometimes😏
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
Hell yea! Robert pack and van exel were fun to watch
Nice Beautiful experience man ❤ 🎉🎉🎉GOD BLEssS
1-2-3 Cancun!!!
@@aceboogie2021Pac Man was AWESOME
It’s true. I was one of the towels in the locker room.
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
I've always respected people who tell the real story even if it makes them look bad.
Dope ass interview Vlad TV. Awesome job Coach PR you guys meshed and flowed really well throughout this, he has an amazing story.
Coach PR is a great interviewer
@@DropOffDrew wtf were you watching? He’s a stuttering, mumbling mess. Vlad found this bum at a bus station.
My health teacher just made us watch a documentary on his drug addiction a couple weeks ago lol
He came and spoke at my school 11 years ago and i didnt listen. I dropped out months later and Ive been an addict for 8 years. Listen to that shit people tell you. Its not because they think they are smarter than you and have all the answers. Its because they've seen the destruction and know how real and easy it is to get on drugs and how much of a fight it is to win the battle. Dont do drugs. Dont even think about it for a second. It feels real good for a minute but the pain and suffering you put yourself and loved ones through for years is unimaginable. Stay in school and away from drugs. No matter how dumb it sounds, its so real.
@@kupkakexo1798 Amen
@@kupkakexo1798 ❤💯💪
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.
Gosnold?
@@kylefuller4176 yeah bro tommy who works there is my duude
It's incredible to see the recovery he has gone through these past 15 years. Proud of this guy.
I’m from Fresno I watched all his games crazy
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 just saw this and was prayed Vlad wasn't interviewing him
Alimoe (RIP) was supposed to be on Fresno with Chris and Skip but he hocked his plane ticket and dipped on Coach Tark.
Man I hope he's coaching 🏀 today. He's definitely got the look of that old school grizzled East Coast Basketball Coach
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
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.
Herren was no joke! Used to see these legends in my town on the weekends. Fresno was lit back then. Herren was awesome
Great college hooper but never reached his potential for obvious reasons.
As he mentioned, he probably peaked as a basketball player his sophomore year at Fresno.
Either that or after his first year in Denver staying clean but his statistics in the NBA showed that he never really had a chance at being a star and would have had to have been absolutely dialed in just to be a starter in the association.
He was “pigmantally challenged”.
If you haven’t, check out Chris Herron’s 30 for 30 “unguarded”. It’s an amazing biography.
It's getting past the junk and leaving it.
Keep progressing Chris
In JESUS Merciful Name
Seeing Chris in the draft was nuts in the city. Every bar in the city was going nuts
Herren reminded me of Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul Rauf
Lightning quick, dead eye shooter, spark of energy coming off the bench.
If you kno basketball. U kno this guy was a bucket
I show the Chris Herren dvd to my tx groups.? They love it.
solid interviewing. less is more. empathetic and perspicacious
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
Me and the homies went to see Fresno St. play his Jr. and Senior years when they played SDSU here in San Diego!
The Great Alaska ShootOut and The High School Classic✨✨🏀💪🏽✨✨. Was Huge in Alaska.
Great Times in November and Thanksgiving Week❄️👌🏽😎❄️
Awesome job!! Great interview so far
Ngl this the greatest vlad interview in the fucking book and vlad ain’t even interviewing
Its actually not tough being u. The effects of the drugs is telling u that
The parts are longer cuz he lets them talk and not try and cut them off you interviewing that’s what it’s called!
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

Popeye jones. I remember him
Man he forgot T Roberson
Facts. T-Ro was a beast
Terrance Roberson his senior year of high school his Saginaw Bueno Vista team beat my high school Lake Shore in the semi finals but we won that state title the next year are big player was Travis Conlan he went on to play at Michigan with Robert Traylor, Maurice Taylor, Albert White
@fifedog met people in Ohio that was from Sag Nasty legit family to this day. They talk me there a few times. As a New Yorker I played against the best my era. But make no mistake hittas in Saginaw could go. Nice history there. Remember talking with Darwin Ham about Rafer.
@@lordjahmo1941 those are some good memories. That title season we had we went 28-0 we wear beating teams by 40 points every game and in the title game we won on last second shot the score was 39-38 but prolly the most exciting game of the year by far.
@@fifedogg511albert white was a straight dog. One of the first players who marveled me with his talent when he transfered to Mizzou.
worst thing that happened to him was going to the celtics
Vlad should've done this interview himself smh
Vlad isnt a good interviewer but this guy is horrible
Enjoying this video while letting off some big farts
❤
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
