A Powerful Memoir of Talent, Tragedy, and Triumph

From NBA Ban to Beacon of Hope: One Man's Second Chance

OUT OF BOUNDS: From Broken NBA Dreams to Redemption by Chris Washburn and Ron ChepesiukA story of extraordinary talent, devastating loss, and ultimate triumph.

Highly promising basketball player Chris Washburn was selected third overall in the 1986 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors. But a chance encounter with famed basketball player Len Bias introduced him to crack cocaine.

Soon, the overwhelming temptations of fame, fortune, and drugs derailed his promising career. And by 1989, after failing his third drug test, Chris was banned from the NBA. His life then spiraled into addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and near-death experiences.

Yet, in 2000, a turning point came when he lost his father. This loss fueled Chris's resolve to change. With incredible strength and determination, he fought back from the depths of addiction.

Today, Chris is a beacon of hope and resilience. He is a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and advocate, inspiring others with his journey of recovery from addiction, and redemption. From speaking to youth groups and drug rehab centers to sharing his powerful story with the NBA, Chris is now making a positive difference in the world.

Co-written with bestselling author Ron Chepesiuk, OUT OF BOUNDS: From Broken NBA Dreams to Redemption describes in dramatic, heart-wrenching detail Chris's remarkable journey, which included finding his birth mother, and proves that it's never too late to rise again.
