Fall River's Chris Herren
Just finished reading the always enjoyable Bill Reynolds account of former 90s Mass. schoolboy basketball star Chris Herren's life as a junkie. Good stuff and well worth the read.
Herren was one of the very first athletes to get inked up back in the early 90s. That is what I remember most about him: he introduced, or at least helped introduce, tattoos to basketball. A great looking, muscular, sexy guy who had a bad boy rep, he was admired nationwide for his style and looks, and jocks soon followed the tattoo trend.
Now every NBA player has a bunch of tattoos, if not being entirely covered (Followers!!), and it all started with Mass.' own Chrissie Herren, who was quite the baller back in the day.
