This EPSN “30 for 30: Benji” Documentary is Fu**king Great (Video) Posted by Nathan S. on 10/30/12 | Filed under Videos, Sports

The best documentaries take you into a world you previously didn't know existed, and no one's delivered more consistently great documentaries than ESPN's "30 for 30" series. Case in point, their new "Benji" documentary I watched last night and thought was so good I'd be doing RefinedHype Nation a disservice if I didn't post.

Apparently Benjamin Wilson is a legend in Chicago, but for those (like myself) who had somehow completely missed the story, Watson was the number one high school basketball player in the country, a prospect already being compared to Jordan, when he was shot and killed during his senior year. Just a really powerful story of how deeply sports, and tragedy, can affect a community.

Oh, and guess who else was on his high school basketball team. Nick Anderson and R. Kelly. Yeah, that R. Kelly. The world is a strange, strange place. Block out an hour of your day and watch this, trust me, it'll be worth it.
