BASKETBALL LEGEND CHRIS HERREN TO SPEAK IN OCEAN CITY
By Mark Soifer, Public Relations Director
Chris Herren realized his dreams playing for the Boston Celtics only to lose it all to addiction before rising to a new dream. Herren has trained over 200 basketball players including some of the top prospects in New England. Off court, he continues to share his stories of abuse with audiences in hopes of reaching just one person and making a difference in their life. His memoir, “Basketball Junkie” was released last year and a documentary, based on his journey, aired as part of ESPN’s 30 for 30 series.
