Buzzer Beat Column by MVP
Since the beginning of my own articles I can hardly remember. When did you write about the Chicago Bulls love team, so after finishing the NBA draft at Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets on Friday morning ( 24 June) at our home time So I would like to pick up the issue of rookies that have been selected for the first round of the year 2022 of the franchise to convey to the reader. My apologies to the fans of other teams here as well.
The rising star I’m referring to is Dalen Terry, the University of Arizona guard, who was drafted 18th last week. Announced to wear the number 25 shirt for the 2022-23 season with the influence of two people: Benji or Benjamin Wilson, a basketball legend at high school and Steve Kerr, head coach of Golden State War. Riers
Kerr’s story, regardless of the younger generation Or an adult who has been following the NBA for a long time probably already knows that. He was a successful man as a player and a coach. Holding the championship ring together for 9 times, the story of Wilson should be little known. including myself So let’s follow along at the same time.
In the early 1980s, Chicago once had one of the country’s best high school basketball players, Ben Wilson, who attended Simeon High School, a local boarding school. He is known for producing famous basketball players such as Derrick Rose 2011 Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Jabari Parker Draft No. 2 in 2014.
Wilson started out as a Freshman at Simeon High School in 1981. He later became the only sophomore player on the school team. Entering the 3rd streak, he became a starting point among senior generals. led the team to the championship state of Illinois The first in history, with R&B artist R. Kelly and former Orlando Magic superstar Nick Anderson as teammates. and high school sports magazine “ESPN HS” honored him as the country’s best 3rd year player for the 1983-84 season.
shocking events Happened on November 20, 1984 while Wilson was a senior student. He refused to have lunch with his teammates. to talk to boyfriend The couple had one child together and had a problem with the woman not allowing her to see her child.
Wilson and his girlfriend decide to leave school for a place on the street. After a brief argument He accidentally bumped into a teenager. Turned into an argument. Later, the man on the other hand pulled out a gun and fired 2 shots at Wilson in the abdomen. which caused serious injuries And wasted a lot of blood and groin. Those students who heard about the shooting. And surrounded Wilson while being taken to the hospital, but Wilson could not stand the venom of the wound. Died at the age of only 17 years
News of Wilson’s death brought great grief. And to the extreme shock of many, Anderson, a high school friend and former NBA player, compared Benji to L.A. Lakers legend Magic Johnson who can jump ball. Can shoot and have all the abilities including scores, rebounds, assists and defense.
Terry, who grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, was unable to wear the professional number 4 shirt like he did in college. So decided to wear the number 25 like Wilson when he was in Simeon High School and this number is also linked to Kerr, who is a senior from the same university who used to wear number 25 when playing for Arizona Wildcats and was a general. The Bulls’ three-time championship kit 1996-1998.
Terry is currently the latest player. Wearing the number 25 shirt in remembrance of Wilson’s legends at both college and professional levels, from Nick Anderson, Joo Won Howard (University of Michigan), Kendrick Nunn (then Miami Heat) and former Chicago Bulls superstar Derrick Rose returned to wear the number. Since attending Simeon High School after being traded to the New York Knicks
As for the question, assuming Wilson reaches the NBA level, will he be any better than six-time Chicago legend Michael Jordan, it’s too difficult to answer. because it is an event that does not happen Many times, the stars of the university or high school come to die on the professional ring. Or some are famous as fireworks. and enter the Hall of Fame after playing So I only know Wilson is one of the industry’s gems. who passed away prematurely without fans around the world having a chance to see skills that may have developed more than during high school
