GU - Allen Iverson Hoyas #3 Ivory Thermal

“I play every game like it’s my last game.”

Flashback to the beginnings, 1994. Georgetown University.

People couldn’t believe their eyes.

Allen Iverson came along at a time when the game of basketball needed an infusion of attitude, which is what “Virginia Slim” had. He was attitude personified, a pillar of self-expression who arrived to DC like a movement. The pulse of the playgrounds from Hampton. The kid with the deadly crossover. The zero fakin’, ankle-breakin’, defender-shakin’ revolutionary who locked down the game’s best, and captured the spirit of basketball every time he took the court.

In short, if basketball needed a makeover, Iverson was “The Answer.”
