“I want to thank Coach Thompson,” Iverson said while fighting back tears. His voice trembled and he stuttered, but continued: “For saving my life. For giving me the opportunity. I was recruited by every school in the country for football and basketball. And an incident happened in high school and all that was taken away. No other teams, no other schools were recruiting me anymore. My mom went to Georgetown and begged him to give me a chance. And he did.” #AllenIverson #TheAnswer #CoachJohnThompson #CoachThompson #JohnThompson #Georgetown #GeorgetownUniversity #NFLHallOfFame #4evahaka2 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfAjMrAN-2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6erqb85x9ew0
