There's a ton of stories and videos about 9/11 and the 10th anniversary. I've been sucked into it big time. The days is still very clear to me and the images I saw on the screen will forever be burned into my head.
The stories and images are horrific. However, over time, stories have developed that put the day and life into perspective.
For those of you from the Greater Boston area, you might remember the story of a young hoops star from the Fall River area who was so good that they spoke of him in the same vein as The Answer, i.e. Allen Iverson. For those of you who don't remember the story or aren't from this area, the legend of Chris Herren is more from the script of Nightmare on Elm Street as opposed to Hoop Dreams.
Chris was projected to have a great college career and make a splash in the pros. He made it to the pros and even played for the Celtics.
However, Chris carried a lot of baggage with him throughout his collegiate, pro and international basketball careers - baggage filled with drug abuse.
