Iverson: “Coach Thompson saved my life”

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Allen Iverson put it simple: “I have no regrets being the guy that I am, a person my family loves, my friends love, my teammates love, my fans love”.

While thanking among others Tupac and Michael Jackson, but above everyone else “(ed.note: Georgetown) coach Thompson who saved my life”, the “Answer” entered the Hall of Fame with a raw and real speach, one of the best ever.

“I’m sitting there and I’m saying, ‘Man, that’s Michael.’ And I’m looking at him. I can’t stop looking at him. I’m looking at his shoes and I’m like, man, he’s got on the Jordans! It was my Mike. It was my idol, my hero.”
