Got the feeling someone is gonna be cutting a shitload of onions in my house when I watch that one.

cant watch at work, what is it about?

It played at Sundance (like The Two Escobars did) and got rave reviews.

"Best yet" would be saying something.

He was #1 in the country - Lebron before Lebron was born. Then he was murdered on the streets of Chicago.

I agree. Just saying it has potential. It's got a Hoop Dreams feel to it.

Another sad story.

My favorite was The Two Escobars. I'm not even a big soccer fan, I just found that story fascinating because it dealt with so much more than a sport. It sounds like Benji is going to be a lot like that one.
And Pony Excess was entertaining, but I pretty much knew that whole story.

I hate the sad ones. 
But I always watch them because the stories are so compelling.

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. His highlights are amazing for a player, especially one at his time. Very sad that he never got to showcase them.
Also, a little thread hijack, but a Kickstarter project was started awhile back for a Ronnie Fields documentary. Well, it easily hit it's mark and then some, and should be coming out sometime soon:

Ronnie was regarded as one of the best dunkers and athletes of his time, playing at the same high school as Kevin Garnett. A car accident left him with a broken neck and detoured his career

The best that never was had me tearing up.

Same here and I find it hard for another episode to top it, but I have high hopes for this one.
The part that got me was when current-day Marcus was watching his old highlights and you could just tell he wanted to break down

I watched this one once and not again. The part where he talks about his mom & the trailer . . . I think Benji will have a similar affect. It's always difficult to watch the unmet potential of youth no matter what the reason
