ESPN 30 for 30 "Benji"

[8pm at msg]

I wish his girlfriend would've spoken on the situation. I feel like something is missing.

 

[DYNAMICS]

Easily one of the better 30 for 30
Sad story but great doc

Great documentary, I was expecting to see that the gf had something to do with the murder, I still think she did. I know that cat ain't living in Chicago after getting released.

this.

not gonna lie, when they were first explaining everything i thought he was shot over her

Great film.

I love how they also let William Moore voice his side of the story.

Not that it matters but by the time it was finished, I firmly believed Moore's side of the story.

Agreed. Wasn't expecting that. (but not that the incident should have warranted pulling the trigger)

Like others are saying, his girlfriend at the time should have gave her side of the story in the doc. She probably feels guilty as hell that he died in the midst of arguing with her. Moore's story is believable because Wilson was heated as a result of his argument with her, so he definitely wasn't thinking right when they bumped into each other.

The incident definitely didn't warrant Benji getting gunned down, but William had that piece for a reason that day. If it wasn't Wilson, it probably would have been someone else.

One of my fav 30 for 30s, along with the Len Bias one. I also think his gf seems a little suspect. Also curious to see how his son Brandon turned out

Avon Barksdale narrating

Hard to believe his gf wasn't involved in the shooting, but Moore's story is believable as well.  Either way, one of the better 30-for-30s in a while...

 

[Nipsey3000]

gave me chills watching it. sad, but def one of the best 30 for 30 movies.

 

[Nike Still Sux]

Chicago politics partially the blame for his passing

 

[secretzofwar]

What a fantastic story.

The sad part is...most of these things are still relevant in Chicago today.

 

[Nike Still Sux]

The twists and turns. To hear both sides of this tragedy. THIS IS THE BEST OUT OF THE WHOLE 30 FOR 30 PERIOD.

 

[Nike Still Sux]

R Kelly singing it's so hard to say goodbye made me tear up

 

[htxmade]

where can i watch now?

 

[jesusshuttlesworth34]

Hahahahah Rod Strickland was smacked in his HS picture.

Hell yeah....Rodney Strickland was fried in that newspaper picture. Not much changed in the NBA for Hot Rod.



Great Doc for sure, one of the best 30 for 30 I've seen. All that talent and potential.....damn shame.

 

[Nike Still Sux]

For anyone who missed it, it comes back on ESPN tomorrow night @ 9pm est and ESPN classic throughout the weekend

 

[jesusshuttlesworth34]

Those folks who turned his funeral/viewing into a circus by pushing their own agendas during their speeches was shameful......

 

[agthekid]

Just got don't watching it and it is instantly one of my fave 30 for 30s

I thought it was kind of eerie is his Girl didn't want to talk about the situation.

 

[sircharles2ol3]

Caught the end of this... had me practically in tears.
