Players from the past decade showed up at Pinnacle High School gym to be part of the first B-Inspired Legacy Game.
But that's not what Friday night inside packed Pinnacle's gym was all about. It was about Brandon Wechsler, that smile that radiated across the north Phoenix campus, his love for others and the courage he showed rallying from countless surgeries.
"It was an extreme honor that Coach invited us," Liberty coach Mark Wood said."We're blessed to be a part of that space. Arizona State basketball coach Bobby Hurley and former Suns player Cedric Ceballos, a longtime family friend, was part of the standing-room only crowd. "He never could walk so they always looked brand new," said Eydie, Brandon's mom, who cared for him growing up."He had a love for Kobe Bryant's, Durant's, LeBron's. All colors. All styles."
After Pinnacle won its second state title in a row in 2019, Wilde made Wechsler an honorary coach for life.
