    I was just 9 years old when Ben Wilson got killed, and i could remember it like yesterday... you could have sworn the President got killed, it was a sad time in the City for at least 15 years you would hear his name ehco in the streets. Ben Wilson heart will forever beat in Chicago... never to be forgotten.

    I went to Paul Robeson and Ben used to come watch our games he was the tallest person In building but he was very kool.

    30 for 30 on ESPN brought me here. This 46 year old white dude soaked the pillow watching that documentary... Every Chicago HS should spend 90 minutes a year showing that special to let kids know to stay on track. Watching the documentary all I was thinking is Ben was KG and KD before KG and KD

    the sky was certainly the limit looking at his skill set along with his size, grace, and body control.

    I remember this like it was yesterday I was a freshman the whole school was sick..SMH
  • I was a freshman in H.S when the tragedy went down. I can remember it was solemn in the classrooms. The new school year had just begun i believe. After all these decades, still, what a senseless....pitiful thing to have happened.
