David Stern (Commissioner that changed the marketing of basketball worldwide), Kobe (One of the Greatest most Iconic Players Ever), Chadwick Boseman (Will go down as a young icon in acting), And now John Thompson (Legend and Trail Blazing Coach). 2020 has taken many amazing from us.

I've always enjoyed watching him Coach. He had his team under control. He was a mentor, a parent and a true friend to his team and they had great respect for him. Well done Coach Thompson! ,🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

John Thompson helped catapult players like Allen Iverson, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning and most notably, Patrick Ewing

John Thompson is one of the biggest reasons I was a huge College Basketball Fan in the 80s. I will never forget that final 4 game between John Thompson and Dean Smith. John Thompson's Team had Patrick Ewing and Sleepy Floyd where as Dean Smith had James Worthy, Sam Perkins and Michael Jordan. That championship game went down to the last minute.

Be careful what you wish for.. The same thing was said about 2019

@normanli7085 3 года назад

I think we should have seen it coming. I would be sure that 2021 (we should go back to pronouncing it by thousand so 2,021 and not like 20/21 although it makes perfect sense now just this one time where the last 2 digits of the current and next year make so much sense) will be a great recovery year just like 2002 was a great recovery year from 9/11. And because it's the 21st century, well only have this year one time with many things that make sense.

@Overton Jones well look at you trying to spoil the class of 2021's celebrations already smh

I grew up watching John Thompson's teams in Big East battles against Pitt. I had the utmost respect for Coach Thompson. Rest In Peace Coach

@ld4974 3 года назад

Was Pitt good back then? When I think of the classic Big East battles, Pitt does not come to mind.

@buckeyes71077 3 года назад

@@ld4974 Pitt was average. They weren't terrible or great but they had good players back then like Jerome Lane, Charles Smith, Sean Miller and the recently departed Demetreus Gore.

You’ll never see another conference like the big East from 1892-1987. Georgetown was the beast of all those powerhouse teams.
