John Thompson, a strong black man who taught boys how to become men. In the 80's when a team played Georgetown they knew they were going to have to play great. Or it was game over.. Rest in Power coach Thompson.
He was a father figure to them, not just a coach. Most of those kids had no father figure in their lives. Allen Iverson credited him with saving his life. He saved plenty of lives of misguided youth, gave them tough love, and kept them off the street. Rest in peace
It’s been definitely the worst year of the 21st century - Pandemic thats killed nearly 200K and counting - Numerous police shootings - Terrible wildfires in California - All kinds of celebrities dying pretty young
@@feddi7693 facts without coach Thompson ai would be over seas or he could've been the next earl manigoat or another kid that had game but didn't make it
Georgetown and Michigan were there 2 teams that I wanted to play college basketball for after I graduated in 1998! I loved watching Georgetown play in the NCAA basketball tournament!
