I love the nice words. He seems like he was a great guy and that he touched a lot of lives, but the hypocrisy from Barkley gets to me. He says that Thompson helped black men become great men and then again called him a black man yet he said in white America everybody is called by their race yet he’s the one doing it 🤔

Dc born and raised. John Thompson one of my favorite coaches of All-time . Came to my school one time and spoke to us , excellent speaker. Got to shake his hand and talk to him, tall man. Didn’t see the Pat Ewing era but the Iverson era was my childhood , had everybody doing his crossover . Hoya Grey all day , definitely had the best shoes and gear.

80’s college basketball was the ACC and The Big East ( you can throw independent DePaul in there too).The Big East was loaded from top to bottom.Georgetown, St.John’s, Syracuse, Villanova.You had Michael Adams at Boston College,Otis Thorpe at Providence, Clyde Vaughn at Pitt, Earl Kelley at UConn.We all know about Ewing, Mullin, Pearl, Pinckney.So many great teams, coaches, players and rivalries.Big Mondays were must see.These were my ball playing years.Couldnt wait to get on the court after watching Georgetown play.Made me step my defense up and wanted to block EVERYTHING like Ewing.John Thompson not only coached great players, but he molded young men into grown men.R.I.P Big John.

God I love this foursome. Seriously, I don’t watch much basketball but I could listen to this group talk all day about any subject. So well spoken. Just a fantastic group.

Who else got their OCD triggered by Kenny being the only one with his towel on his left shoulder?

He was one of the faces of college basketball my entire childhood. He was a good one with a great legacy! When I was a kid as a Kentucky fan, I didn’t want to see Georgetown in March Madness! Rest in Peach Coach!
