That Benji Wilson Story on ESPN

[AKM-95]

I watched this doc last night on ESPN Classic and its probably one of the better 30 for 30 docs that they put out. Dude had tremendous amount of potential and it was a shame how one decision basically ended his life.

 

[Gifted one]

Still hurt by seeing this doc, the best 30 for 30 of all time.

Don't pull out a gun unless you plan on using it is one of the dumbest sayings there is.You already made the mistake of pulling it in the first place why make another one after that ruins your life just because of what your country ass grandad said.The saying that should of been passed down is if you pull a gun think about it.

I just watches this doc again tonight. Shyt is sad brehs

 

[Gifted one]

What could've been brehs I believe he would've went to Illinois had he lived

 

[BeBorn]

'he was the best'-this was a great doc I think they've made some of the best docs I've ever seen.

but in my opinion the best high school player ever will always be Ronnie Fields from faragaut

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

That scene where the girl was in the gym for his wake singing that spiritual almost broke a nikka down

 

[Prado210]

Didn't Ronnie Fields go out the same way?

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Didn't Ronnie Fields go out the same way?

Nah he made it out of Chicago but he never reached the NBA. He's playing overseas now

Really?

He was only 6'3" and Garnett came in and took over his team.

Didn't Ronnie Fields go out the same way?

Nah, Ronnie Fields broke his neck in a car accident at like 2 in the morning or something.

I remember they asked about it and he was like, "What was a 17 year old kid doing out that late at night and all that shyt".

It was a real big story.

Guy had potential, but he was too short to be a big time SG in the league to me and wasn't really a adequate 1 either.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Didn't Ronnie Fields go out the same way?

yeah, except for the fact that he's alive.

An interesting read
Wisch: What If Ben Wilson Had Lived

 

[BrothaZay]

One of the best 30 for 30s ive ever seen, up there as heartbreaking as seeing that little girl with aids cry on the magic johnson doc

That was probably the hardest thing I ever watched.

I still remember that shyt, her face and everything. Like the image just pops in my head. That was the moment I stopped judging people who had the disease.

I remember when I had to go to the clinic because I got burnt(curable) that scene was all that played in my head. That just reminded me to stop doing the bullshyt I was doing.

Is there any word on how the girl is doing, if she is still alive?
