30 for 30: Benji

[ehizzy3]

anyone watch it tonight? It was one of the best 30 for 30s I've seen. It's about the killing of Ben Wilson the number 1 hs bball prospect in the nation, who grew up in the inner city of chicago.

It was really well done, and tragic.


also, he reminded me A LOT of KD

Played like KD but looked like Batum.

When he was killed the footage of how his HS handled it and the funeral was tough to watch.

Have it on DVR. Will catch it late one night this week.

I actually remember him being shot, but it was long before it would be a huge interwebs deal.

D-Rose went to the same HS and wore #25 to honor Benji.

IIRC, every year Simeon's best player wears that number to honor Benji.
