*Special Guest Celebrity Author, Speaker, & Former NBA Star Luther Wright
A first-round NBA draft pick for the Utah Jazz, he was a rookie on a team with basketball legends Karl Malone and John Stockton. He had money, women, cars, and a luxurious bachelor pad overlooking Salt Lake City. But within a year, ravaged by drugs and unable to cope with life as an NBA star, he was homeless, broke and addicted to crack cocaine. Luther will share his inspiring and uplifting journey to recovery, and his book called "A Perfect Fit".
