Legendary Basketball Hall of Fame Coach John Thompson passed away surrounded by family at his Arlington, Virginia home on August 30th, 2020. In 1984, with the assistance of NBA legend Patrick Ewing, Coach Thompson became the first Black coach to lead an NCAA Division I basketball team to the national championship beating the Houston Cougars in the finals.
During his tenure with the Georgetown Hoyas (1972-1999), Thompson lead his team to a 596-239 (.714) winning record. Thompson who was a Washington D.C. native was also a two-time NBA champion playing for the Boston Celtics alongside Bill Russell from 1964-1966. In 1988 at the Seoul Olympics, Thompson served as the head coach for the Unites States Men’s basketball team.
Under Thompson’s instruction, retired NBA player and 2016 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Allen Iverson would go on to set the Georgetown University record for highest career scoring average (22.9 points per game). In 2017, Patrick Ewing took over as head coach for the Hoyas. However, it’s obvious that no one will ever make the same mark in Georgetown that Coach John Thompson made. Rest well to a true sports legend!

Hey friends! Despite what everybody says, I know Rihanna still loves her Chrissy Poo and vice versa. After I saw a post about Rihanna and Drake’s abrupt split earlier this week in the IBTimes and then Chris Brown trying to lure Rih-Rih back in with gifts, I had to make a gallery. So, in honor of #TBT and #FlashBackFriday, I’ve compiled a whole bunch of pictures of #Chrihanna (Chris Brown and Rihanna) and their long-standing on again/off again epic relationship.
