Hundreds of mourners turned out Monday to say their last goodbyes to tragic 14-year-old Aamir “Buddy” Griffin who had big dreams of being an NBA star before he was shot and killed by a stray bullet while playing basketball in Queens.

A black casket bearing the teen’s body arrived by a white horse-drawn carriage to the Greater Allen AME Cathedral in Jamaica ahead of the funeral service.

Aamir “was a happy, energetic young man who had his whole ahead of him,” the boy’s tearful aunt, Desiree Walston, told mourners.

“During his amazingly short, but impactful life, he touched the world with his enormous, infectious bright smile,” she said.

Aamir, a freshman at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, “wanted nothing more than to be greatest and legendary basketball star anyone has ever seen” and “dreamed of one day wearing an NBA jersey, buying his mother a house and luxury car,” Walston said.

Walston said the basketball court is where Aamir “felt most at home.”

“He was born for the court and the court was the place he felt most alive,” Walston said, adding that Aamir “loved the game, but the one thing he loved the most was his mom.”

“She was his best friend Walston said, before addressing Aamir’s mother: “He is still your best friend.”

The teen boy was fatally shot in the neck on Oct. 26 at NYCHA’s Baisley Park Houses basketball court. The bullet that struck Aamir was fired from more than 100 yards away, police have said.

“Aamir was special and touched the lives of so many. So much so that the New York Knicks came together to honor his name by making him an honorary player for their team,” Walston said. “He will forever have his place in the New York Knicks, with a jersey that bears his name.”

On Friday, the New York Knicks tweeted that the team was “deeply saddened” by the news of Aamir’s death.

“Our thoughts are with Buddy’s family at this difficult time,” the tweet read.

Walston spoke of the day Aamir’s life was cut short, saying the boy’s “bright smile became dim and an entire city was shattered.”

Another one of Griffin’s aunt’s, Akiba Griffin, called her nephew “so great.”

“I’m going to make a promise in front of all of you that I’m going to do whatever I can to make sure that this entire community and communities like this all around the world, have places and parks that kids can play…so kids can be safe,” Akiba said.

Ron Naclerio, the head basketball coach at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, also spoke during the service, and told mourners of how Aamir “fashioned his life around school and basketball.”

“Aamir Griffin paid the ultimate price,” Naclerio said. “Life isn’t fair. It certainly wasn’t to Aamir.”

A viewing took place for two hours before the funeral service got underway.

Mourners included Queens Borough President Melinda Katz, a slew of local city sanitation workers and members of the Buffalo Soldiers Motorcycle Club.

Aamir’s grandmother used to ride with the club back in the 1980s, according to one biker, who noted, “We came for the family.”

Just two days after the fatal shooting that ended Aamir’s life, 16-year-old innocent bystander Ashley Amoorgan was shot and wounded outside of the New Dawn Charter High School II in Jamaica.

Investigators have linked both shootings to an ongoing rash of violence between street gangs.

Last week, 16-year-old gangbanger Caolynn Griffin-Bratton was charged with attempted murder in connection to the shooting that injured Amoorgan. Griffin’s family has said he was not related to Griffin-Bratton.

So far, no arrests have been made in connection to the shooting that left Griffin dead.
