My pops took me to see Georgetown at a basketball tournament at Arco Arena back in the day. Wanted me to see Black Excellence

Didn't know about Allen Iverson until that weekend

All that love you see for Georgetown in those pics is residual from the early 80's Ewing squads. They were Black America's team.

Black coach that didn't take no shyt, all black team with a chip on their shoulders, dope unis and gear, dusty mutt mascot

As a kid I cheered for Georgetown and temple because of Thompson and Chaney

Pat is waaaaay bigger than Iverson in terms of college bball influence

Everybody used to rock Georgetown jerseys and jackets. It was one of those teams that people rocked no matter where they from. I had the black joint with kente style accent

I was apart of a youth program that used to get free tickets to Georgetown basketball games at the Capital Center and MCI Center. Got to see AI ball from the nosebleeds

And they heard you got half of Virginia locked down" - Biggie Smalls "The Warning"

Even Kyle from "Above The Rim" went to Georgetown at the end of the movie

ya I forgot...I’m remembering the other players on the team...the success they had w/ that squad more than anything would’ve impacted the early 90s
