It was quite a moving experience for me to watch ESPN’s “Unguarded: The Story of Chris Herren”. Chris worked for us in 2007 when he was close to or at his lowest point. Despite the challenges he was facing at that time, I grew very fond of Chris and his wife, Heather.
Unguarded, which will air a number of times in the future, is powerful and full of hope. It also does a wonderful job of acknowledging the many people who care greatly about Chris, including author Bill Reynolds. Bill’s brilliant book, “Basketball Junkie”, which he co-wrote with Chris, was published in 2011 and led to the ESPN production.
Everyone here at the Institute for International Sport is rooting hard for Chris.
