That Benji Wilson Story on ESPN

[Silkk]

the gf said it was a robbery

who u gonna believe?

you only carry a guy if your going to use it

I wasnt there, and i dont like to speculate

His story sound more believable than a 5'6 nikka tryna roba 6'8 basketball legend. And no way he didnt know who benji was

dont matter who he was, they was lookin for a victim which explains why they were just hanging out with a loaded pistol

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.

So true...we have to stop passing down these lame ass "rules of the streets." How about"don't go anywhere you need a gun","call the police" after all, they are pretty much a hired gun. Let them shoot it out with the people robbing you.

The Two Escobars was , best one by a mile IMO. This one was good too. Interviewing the killers was a nice touch but I thought they could have introduced them a little earlier and focused more on that confrontation. I mean, there was a bus load of people to get words from even if his girl didn't want to speak. I thought they just would have tried to tell the story a little different since they did the Len Bias one already which was similar. I also liked the OJ one and the Reggie Miller/Knicks one

I think they were watching/waiting for him to be separated from his boys to make a move to rob him. Probably had people watching him for days. "Rob a legend and become a legend" type of deal that went bad for everybody, especially Benji. :scustmachine:

you know the Ironic part is and scary thing is, in 1984, one of the Best High School Players in the nation was Tito Horford (Al's Dad) at Marian Christian High in Houston. He was named to that 1984 First Team all american list with Benji

No shucking involved my brotha.

What happened to Benji was a tragedy, but what is sadder is that 30 years later Chicago is even worse.
