In 1984, 17-year-old Ben Wilson was America's most talented basketball prospect, not only in Chicago playing for Simeon High School, but the whole world was waiting his prophecy to be fulfilled. Sadly the world would never see this great talent rise to the top after a senseless killing. He is remembered by many, including Derrick Rose who played for Simeon HS years later. Who now wears the same #25 to honor the fallen Chicago hero.
