"Benji"- A reflective short film

Don't you just love the ESPN 30-for-30 documentaries?

30 for 30: BENJI - The True Story of a Dream Cut Short - DOCUMENTARY - 1/6

Ben "Benji" Wilson was a 17-year old high school star who was one of the most talented basketball players from the Windy City.

It was a great watch - as are most ESPN 30-for-30 films - with interviews given by ESPN's Michael Wilbon, rap stars R. Kelly and Common and former NBA star and member of the Fab Five Juwon Howard. These celebrities were all neighbors of the late Simeon High School star athlete.

We know about the Michael Jordans of the world, but it always is nice to pay homage to these unsung heroes. If you are a basketball fan, you will watch this ESPN films production that is one of the better ones in the documentary series.
