RIP..The whole reason I became a Georgetown fan as a kid..I'm watching old GTown games & 1:16:39 is why everybody loved him

Coach Thompson's private funeral is today. They just said on the news that there are a ton of NBA players in the church, and that Patric Ewing will be a pallbearer.

Growing up in NYC in the 80s EVERYBODY had Georgetown Starter jackets

I remember watching the Hoyas on TV and thinking they were an All Black college

It literally blew my mind when I found out it wasn't an all Black school

Big John was a treasure

When I say nothing topped Big East basketball back in the day, I mean that shít 100%

My favorite college basketball rivalry was Georgetown vs Syracuse. And don't let it be on a Saturday or Sunday on CBS

John Thompson was a major factor in my love for Big East hoops
