from The Sport of It: Heroes Nobody Expected · host Rich Hamilton

He had the hair. The attitude. The "Image is Everything" Nike campaign. But behind the neon denim and rockstar persona, Andre Agassi hated the sport that made him famous. By 1997, he had fallen to No. 141 in the world, was using crystal meth, and didn't know if he would ever play again. Then something changed. This is the story of a man who had to learn to love the game before he could save his career.
