Since starting Play 4 Prevention, Bottari has educated himself and others on the issues facing today’s youth. His message supersedes a decorated playing career that includes the Padres’ first state championship. On his way to spreading the word and proving doubters wrong on the field, Bottari stopped by to get us caught up on life, the Serra experience and hoping to save a life with our conversation.

Bill Herenda Breaks Down the NBA Finals and the Silencing of Drake

"It'll certainly give Durant a clear vision of what he'd be leaving behind, if he indeed does leave. Because this is rarefied air, right? Five straight Finals and it would be four (titles) in five years and three-peat. And even for Leonard, to say, 'Hey, this is working. We've gotten to the Finals'....I think winning has an effect on decision-making. I don't think there's any question about that. You know what you have here."

"I had the moment of 'Oh, God. I'm gonna die.' Then my brain went like this, "God, I'm gonna die. I'm not gonna die like this. I had my hand on my three dogs who were totally calm in the passengers seat and I said, 'Please God, don't like me die like this.' It was harrowing.

A look at the NBA post season and life in Hollywood with Bill Herenda

"Because I have a vast amount of experience in sales as well, and I think the rejection is something you have to deal with in a very positive way. It's like you may have done a fine job but maybe you're just not the best fit. It's about the recognition of auditioning, I think it may have been Bryan Cranston I saw talk about this or Al Pacino...where they talk about,'That's your five minutes. That's your work for today. You do get to act today and it just happens to be in the audition. And to embrace that I think is very important."
