2: Basketball player JOHN LUCAS was the number one draft pick for the NBA in 1976, before his career went downhill as a result of drug use. He conquered his drug addiction and started a recovery program for other drug-addicted athletes. He coached the San Antonio Spurs to the playoffs twice, and is now the head coach, general manager, and vice president of the Philadelphia 76ers. LUCAS has just written a memoir, "Winning a Day at a Time" (Hazelden).
