John Thompson has passed away
- Thread starter ALonelyDad
- Start date
Rayful Edmond was an avid fan of the Georgetown Hoyas, and frequently sat courtside with his entourage at the Capital Centre for home games. At the height of his empire, he became very friendly with several Hoyas players. When Georgetown University basketball coach (and D.C. native) John Thompson confirmed what was happening, he sent word through his sources to have Edmond meet him at his office at McDonough Gymnasium.
When Edmond arrived, Thompson was initially cordial, and informed Edmond that he needed to cease all contacts with his players,[5]specifically John Turner and Alonzo Mourning, both of whom had befriended Edmond.[6]However, Thompson's parting words to Edmond were that Edmond would face serious consequences if he did not stay away from his players.[7] It is believed that Thompson is the only person to stand up to Edmond without consequence,[8] initially causing some shock and surprise that there was no reprisal against Thompson for it.
RIP to the GOAT

I still remember the KG interview where he broke down like it was yesterday. The impact this man had on our favorite players was palpable.
I was today years old when I found out he played for the Celtics
