Plot: In 1984 Chicago welcomed Michael Jordon, Oprah was hosting a morning show and mayor Harold Washington was making history. A young man by the name of Ben Wilson was also chasing history - becoming the top high school prospect in basketball, earning praise and titles but just before his senior year a random altercation left him dead and a city reeled in the aftermath. This is his story - and his legacy. -- Chris Kavan

Another 30 for 30 title that packs an emotional punch. Much like Without Bias, this also deals with the death of a young athlete - but this death was a murder - that of high school's top prospect in 1984, Simeon star Ben Wilson. His death sent shockwaves through the city and his legacy lives on in the many players who honor him with the #25. It's a bit of a downer, but still, it will leave an impact.
