An ESPN Films Iowa 'dream' list

This past Tuesday, ESPN Films aired another outstanding hour-long documentary, this one about former Fresno State basketball player Chris Herren. Herren became a prep star in his native Fall River, Massachusetts and went on to Fresno and a short stint in the NBA, all the while battling drug addiction and nearly self-destructing the world around him.
I have to admit that I was skeptical when the “30 For 30? project was launched in 2009 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ESPN, but this series had hit a home run for viewers from die-hard loyalists to casual sports fans.
