Great long form piece on SB Nation on an ex-Harlem Globtrotter

[Scoop returns]

Justice Hill does an incredible job and makes us care about a former Globetrotter most of us have never heard of. Can see this eventually becoming a movie.

Thanks for the read Scoop, will give it a read later. Justice did a couple of pieces for me at FanHouse that were really, really good.

Initial reaction- Wagner is a scumbag who played a huge role in wreaking many lives in the city of Detroit. Would he have found redemption if he had never gotten caught?

JB Hill is a pro's pro. Had the pleasure of reading it a few days ago. A must read.

Very good piece, but not the most sympathetic of people to write about. Guy had a college scholarship and blew it, got to travel the world as an athlete and couldn't keep a job after he had to retire. Becomes a major drug dealer, blows the money he earns from that illegal enterprise on shoes and jewelry, and only after a lot of years does he finally reform himself. That is, until we find out he gets himself arrested a few months from now.
