Some people may wonder if they like to run a new record or make their New Personal Best. It's better in 1 minutes. Why do they take it to the Olympic competition or nothing?
2
I'm one of those kind. They keep chasing their own PB. At the beginning of the year, I aimed for myself this year for only three targets. One - One marathon sub4, two - Half run sub1: 50 hours. And three - finished four marathons
3
Last year, I did the best full marathon time at 4:09 hours. At Moscow, half-time. If I remember correctly, it should be 1:52 hours. At the Bangkok marathon, I set my dream for myself. And 4 marathons a year. I calculate to myself for fun. I collect 25 more years and I will complete 100 marathons when I was 65 years old. Actually, it's a plan. Forcing myself to exercise (now I run for three jobs. The end of the year will post another one)
4
With power of stars or luck, I don't know. I finished the Tokyo marathon for 3:58 hours. (without knowing if I can do it again) and go run halfway in Laguna Phuket. Ends in 1:50 hours. The scraps for a second. I'm glad but I'm curious that I will do it under 1:50 hours. Can I? I encourage myself that I have to have Silaguna. There are plenty of hills. If I encounter a simple field, I should have a chance.
5
Laguna work. I feel like my body is better than last year. So I went to half a lotus work. I was confident that I could manage my goal and... As I have told, the clock doesn't wake up! Running the wrong way to become DNF without coins.
6
It's okay to fail. Put it there is always a new stadium. This August has landed a half-day job in Bangkok. Mother's day and a released event in CentralWorld. I don't dare to aim for anything anymore. My target is very easy... Just wake up. Go for a run
7
I like the route. Today is a familiar route from the Sirikit Convention Center. Running out of Sukhumvit through Nana Ploenchit Chidlom, Siam Mahanong, Chulalongkorn, Chulalongkorn, Chulalongkhum, turn around. Passing through this convention center two rounds is a familiar way and... no bridge!!
8
Of course, the plateau is inviting you to think about running. Good time. I did my homework and plan with myself to start with Pace 5'20 ′′ until the fifth kilometer. If I can't, I will adjust to 5'10 ′′ until the ten th kilometer. Then If the power is left, then speed up to Pace 5, but then don't be slow to 5'10 ′′ if you want to, it ends below 1:50 hours.
9
The horror of the running field is the distance on the sign. It never matches our watch and it's always ′′ long ′′ and ′′ far ′′ and ′′ far ′′. The fourth kilogram has been found. The fourth kilogram of the sign has been found on the fourth kilogram. The fourth kilogram has arrived in the fourth The computation plan always keep this going.
10
Released myself. I tried to hit a good runner. Went to see the clock. Many times I was shocked because the number told Pace 4'30 / 4'40 ′′ When I saw it, I tried to warn myself that ′′ don't be fizzy I tried to knock it Go as planned, but the first five kilograms of PCE is at 5'10 ′′ It's faster than the plan. Finish ten kilograms at 52 minutes. I think in my heart that I don't ask for much. Just keep Pace Let's keep it going. It's okay.
11
I have arrived at the convention center again. Half way over. Heart is starting to beat faster. Outgoing muscles. I know that I can't speed up and knock this page to the end. I thought I might be able to follow the target. It's very hot but I know that I can't stop. Brutal is the distance in the sign. Worried because it's behind the clock. It's almost a kilogram. That's what it takes
12
During the 11th kilometer, there was a young man running from behind and said ′′ Brother Ae, running very stable I turned to laugh and said thank you. But in my heart, I thought that ′′ you are going to die, I started panting But this one is like an angel. I His (real) steady running to CentralWorld split has helped make my running so much better. Big tall, big, spicy, and handsome. But I didn't run after her for these reasons.
13
Meanwhile, if Pase starts to fall to 5'30 ′′ I tried to speed up until some kilograms ended at 4'53 ′′ but when I arrived, the merit was crowned (15th kilogram), the speed fell to 5'30 ′′ I know. I thought I couldn't speed up anymore. And if I speed up, I would risk to crack in the last kilogram. Then I console myself. ′′ I will record the last two kilograms
14
Finally, the most fun of marathon or half-time is to adjust the plan according to the physical condition on the day of the race. It has to be modified. When, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, where, it's planned
15
I'm Tui Pace 5'30 ′′ all the time on Rama 5'30 road. I haven't finished today's goal. Because the tag says distance continues to hurt all the time. I try to calculate the distance by the watch. I think if it's not there, if I have I'm excited.
16
There is one sentence I wrote in the book ′′ Teacher in Cookie Shop ′′ that we don't win because we don't want to win enough I asked myself if I ended up in the book ′′ but not below 1:50 Watch it. Will it be a pity? Because today is considered a good run. Will I look back? If the last kilogram, I could do it more.
17
That minute I stopped looking at the clock, stopped looking at the sign, said the distance and listened to the heart, ran with it. The heart couldn't run too hard. But if I could, I would try to speed up.
18
When I accelerate, I'm tired. I breathe harder. Muscle moans heavily. As soon as I turn to the convention center, I'm not sure how many meters I have left. I just know that ′′ this minute I have to measure!" I use the power Run as fast as you can. Speed change from Pace 5'41 ′′ in the 20th kilo to only 3'51 ′′ in the last kilogram.
19
I look at the clock. There are 2 minutes left until it's 1:50 hours. How is it? Suddenly, the running distance becomes close to the clock again, but there is no time to think about anything. Chop one leg!
20
The finish line is there! I saw the Gun Time numbers shown 1:49 hours ago. The power comes from nowhere. I have passed the person in front of me and finished the finish. Gun Time 1:49:26 hours. Chip Time 1:49:17 hours
21
It's done! Finally made it!
22
I'm watching my average page 5'05 ′′ in a half-marathon for amateur runners like us. It's shocking speed. I know from today's run that I still need to train more patience, train fast. Up but today's work is enough to slap your shoulder and tell it ′′ you did a good job ′′
23
While I was riding home, I kept asking myself ′′ Do you think that I'm crazy for ten base numbers Why do I have to run for less than 1:50 hours? As well, I continue to ask myself that the next goal is under 1:45 hours. Is it already? 1:50 hours. With 1:49 hours. Is it so different?
24
I answered myself a minute for a long run. It's a ′′ not easy ′′ time to get rid of it. Every minute is valuable. Just stop drinking water once. Time can move twenty seconds. Every minute it's caused by practice running faster. How to drink water fast. How to eat gel? It's easy to get one minute. It takes months.
25
That's why ′′ one minute ′′ in the field runs precious and intense. That's why runners know it's ′′ one minute ′′ that's why they're ′′ one minute ′′ that's like a diamond.
26
We try to get rid of this ′′ one minute ′′ to see the ′′ best us ′′ or Personal Best (PB) asking who we compete with -- No, but we want to find and see. It's more beautiful to yourself.
27
I'm so glad that I run faster today than before. ′′ One minute If you ask me ′′ what do I do I can't answer what I want to do, but I only know that one minute I drop will lead to another minute. Dropping further, this all leads to nothing but a good feeling to discover the hidden potential in us, which we never know where the limit is.
28
It's not just about running in life and work. Sometimes we are better at anything. It takes time to practice, dream, purify through a lot of experiences. But when we are a little better, we will feel good about ourselves and want to be good at it. Up ′′ a little bit more one minute at a time no difference.
29
Little by little moves. Sometimes people can't see and don't focus on it. But for that person, you know that she or he is moving toward the ′′ best self ′′ and that's why I like personal best or good personal record. The best.
30
A little bit of success always leads to more success. But more importantly, success is a great result from training. It's like a nurturing machine. Our efforts, discipline, diligence, blossoms into self-esteem. We always feel ′′ worthwhile and I want to practice. The most important thing is that it makes me want to wake up and do what I like and believe. When life is like this, it's a powerful and empty life.
This is the power of ′′ one minute ′′
′′ One minute ′′ that answers us that there is still a better us hidden.
Just had to pull that person out
Continuous commitment, discipline, enjoy what you do. Appreciate the progress, no matter how important it is - no need to compare to anyone. Head down, do it for Personal Best.
The result of hard work smells good like flowers :)

Audition Audition Audition 演員徵選
“Let’s Play Theatre" is looking for actors to be in our upcoming school touring production~ “Romeo and Juliet” (abridged) similar to the video. Actors play multiple roles but with Chinese narration/explanation.
Who are we looking for?
ARC/APRC/Taiwanese ID holders. Native speakers (or near-native) speakers of English with theater acting experience or a strong passion to learn acting for the stage.
How much do we pay?
Our standard payment: NT$1500 per show for new actors (the first 3 shows) and then NT$2000 starting from the 4th show. (The show is 2 hours but it takes 2 hours to set up, 1 hour to pack, plus transportation time. So it usually means the whole day. For rehearsals, there’s a symbolic NT$100 per rehearsal. Seriously, don’t do it for the money. (Having said that, for highly skilled actors there’s still some room for negotiation)
How many times do we rehearse?
For a new production such as this one, we’ll need 10~15 rehearsals. Each rehearsal is 3 hours. Actors are also expected to learn their lines in their own time. It’s a big commitment. Once the casting is made, we'll agree on a rehearsal schedule. So if your schedule is packed already between now and 15th Feb, do not apply.
Where do we rehearse.
8min walk from Dinxi MRT station
When are the shows?
2/15 (Wed) Taoyuan
3/10 (Fri) Taoyuan
5/19 (Fri) Hsinchu
With more shows to be confirmed.
(For our last production, we did over 20 shows all around Taiwan)
Please send in your CV to [email protected]
Be sure to include your name and contact phone number and we'll get in touch with you to arrange for an audition.
What to prepare for the audition?
Perform one of the following monologues. (The casting is gender-blind and color-blind. Feel free to try out for Juliet if you’re a guy and Romeo if you’re a girl)
1. Romeo’s monologue
Romeo:
Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
(taking JULIET’s hand)
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
2. Juliet’s monologue
JULIET:
O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?...
…
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title.
Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
3. Prince:
PRINCE
Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Profaners of this neighbor-stainèd steel!—
Will they not hear?—What, ho! You men, you beasts,
That quench the fire of your pernicious rage
With purple fountains issuing from your veins,
On pain of torture, from those bloody hands
Throw your mistempered weapons to the ground,
And hear the sentence of your movèd prince.
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,
By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,
Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets
If ever you disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
For this time, all the rest depart away.

For those who were there at McDonough Gymnasium on August 4, 1994, few will forget the arrival of a 6-0 freshman guard who needed no introduction. The rumors of Allen Iverson's arrival to the Kenner Summer League were true, and by game's end, Iverson had scored 40 points. By the Sunday afternoon final, before an overflow crowd inside the gym and a crowd of those outside who could not get in, Iverson finished a combined 99 point effort in three days against some of the best collegiate talent in the city. This, of course, from a player that had not played organized basketball in over a year.
The Allen Iverson years had begun.
A brief profile can't do justice to tell the story of one of the greatest pure athletes ever to attend Georgetown, a man without peer in his talent over two years at the collegiate level. Just a year before his Kenner debut, few would have imagined Allen Iverson ever playing college basketball.
Iverson was not only a 31 point a game guard for Bethel HS, but a football player of tremendous skill. As a quarterback and defensive back his sophomore season, he produced nearly 1,600 yards offense and 13 INT's. By his junior year, he accounted for 2,204 yards, 21 touchdowns by rush or interception, and 14 touchdown passes. In a region which has produced NFL quarterbacks such as Michael Vick and Aaron Brooks, there are those who will still say "Bubbachuck" Iverson was better than both of them. Schools such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Duke, and three dozen other top programs across two sports were vying for perhaps the greatest two-sport star the Tidewater had ever produced.
When he led Bethel to the state title, someone asked what it was like to win the title. "I'm going to get one in basketball now," which he did. In late February, 1993, en route to the state title he had promised, Iverson was one of a large group of Bethel teammates at a Hampton bowling alley when a fight broke out between students from rival schools trading racial insults. Three people were hurt in the aftermath. Despite conflicting testimony from eyewitnesses and no clear evidence linking him to the crime, Iverson was one of four black students arrested.
Racial tensions were heightened when the prosecutors passed on a misdemeanor assault charge and charged Iverson with three counts of felony "maiming by mob", which carried a 20 year prison sentence. Despite video evidence which did not place Iverson in the crowd at the time of the fight, he was convicted in a racially charged case.
The 20 year sentence was later reduced to five, and Iverson was granted clemency by Gov. Douglas Wilder three months later, sending Iverson to a detention program at an alternative high school. (The original charges were thrown out by the Virginia court of appeals in 1995.)
In the spring of 1994, with Iverson still in detention, his mother approached John Thompson with a plea to help her son get to college and start a new chapter of his life. Though Thompson had passed on a number of troubled players in the past, he offered Iverson a scholarship in April of that season, contingent upon his completion of high school and his legal release, which was granted 48 hours before his Kenner debut.
By his debut in a Georgetown uniform in November 1994, Iverson had been the subject of intense national media attention. In the Hoyas' annual exhibition with Fort Hood, Iverson scored 36 points, five assists, and three steals in 23 minutes. Local columnists were in awe.
"Hang his number up in the rafters," wrote Tom Knott of the Washington Times. "He's better than most of the point guards in the NBA right now."
"I saw Lew Alcindor, Austin Carr, Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Albert King, Ralph Sampson and Patrick Ewing play in high school," said the Post's Thomas Boswell. "Now, I have two memories on my first impression top shelf. The man who became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Allen Iverson."
Iverson opened the 1994-95 season in Memphis, TN in a 97-79 loss to defending NCAA champion Arkansas, scoring 19 points. Six days later, he scored 31 in a nationally televised game with DePaul, followed by 30 four days later against Providence, leading the team in scoring 22 times that season. His only game under double figures for the season (and his career) was a game where he played only ten minutes in a loss at Villanova, a game Georgetown coach John Thompson threatened to forfeit when a group of Villanova students paraded through the Spectrum in black and white-striped prison garb, with a sign comparing Iverson to O.J. Simpson.
"You accept certain ribbing, but there is a line," Thompson said after the game. "I can condone any Christian university sitting and watching that happen...If that happens [again], I going to walk. It that simple." Such fan behavior was not seen thereafter.
Later in the season, with President Bill Clinton in attendance, Iverson scored 26 as the Hoyas routed Villanova, 77-52. He followed it up with 21 to beat Syracuse, 28 versus St. John's, 31 in a Big East tournament opener with Miami (a game that saw Iverson outscore the entire Hurricane team at the end of the first half), and 27 versus Connecticut in the semis. In the NCAA regional, he scored 24 in the loss, but held Jeff McInnis to 1 for 8 shooting. By season's end, Allen Iverson had been named Big East Player of the Week nine times, Rookie of the Year, a second team all-conference selection, and honorable mention All-America recipient. Having led the Hoyas in points and steals en route to the school's first NCAA regional appearance since 1989, Iverson was already a star. By 1996, he would become nothing less than a sensation.
The leaser of a talented team that featured four future NBA stars, Allen Iverson dominated the 1995-96 season as no Hoya has done before or since. Adept at the crossover dribble that became his NBA trademark, lightning quick to the basket, and able to score on opponents at will, Iverson was largely unstoppable. Even more impressive was an effort to improve his shooting touch, for despite averaging 20.4 points as a freshman in 1994-95 (2nd all time for a Georgetown rookie), Iverson only shot 39 percent from the field, 23 percent from three, and 19 percent from three in Big East play. For his sophomore season, his field shooting increased to 48 percent, his three point mark to 36 percent. The results were striking.
In the pre-season NIT versus Temple, Iverson shot 50 percent for 24 points and a career high 10 rebounds. After a 23 point effort against Georgia Tech, he scored a career high 40 against Arizona, one of two 40+ point games that season. In Big East play, Iverson could ring up points with ease, such as the game where he scored 21 points in only 20 minutes against Rutgers.
In the final three months of the season, Iverson led the team in 21 of the team's 25 games: 40 against Seton Hall, 39 against St. John's, 34 against Providence. He scored 30 in a wild win over Memphis, and followed it up two nights later with 26 in an upset of #3 Connecticut. For the game, Iverson totalled 26 points, 8 steals, and 6 assists, including a soaring dunk past Ray Allen and the Huskies. It was the highest ranked team any Georgetown team had defeated since 1988. His best performance of the season might have been a 37 point, 8 rebound, and three steal effort against #6 ranked Villanova, playing only 27 minutes. The 106-68 win represents the sixth largest margin of victory and the largest margin ever by a Georgetown team against a top 10 opponent.
Iverson was capable of an off game; unfortunately, two came at particularly inopportune times for the Hoyas' hopes for a national title. Entering the 1996 Big East Final with a #1 seed on the line, Iverson shot 4 for 15 and the Hoyas lost by one, 76-75. As a result of the loss, Georgetown was seeded #2 behind top ranked UMass, and in the regional final between the two teams Iverson struggled with a 6 for 21 effort in the loss. For the season, though, his statistics were astonishing: his 926 points broke the then-record by 124 points. He set new single season marks in field goals, field goal attempts, three pointers, three point attempts, steals, minutes, and scoring average (25.0), the latter of which ranked 7th in the nation that season. The Big East's defensive player of the year, he was named a consensus All-American amidst numerous other awards.
If he could somehow have stayed four years, Iverson undoubtedly would have shredded the Georgetown record books. But whatever hopes existed for Iverson to resist the lure of the NBA were short lived, particularly with the news that one of his sisters had fallen ill. Seeing the opportunity to take care of his family's medical needs, Iverson announced for the NBA draft soon after the end of his sophomore season, becoming the first Georgetown player in the Thompson era to do so. The compact that had bound so many great Hoya players to a four year commitment--from Ewing to Williams, Mourning to Mutombo--had now been broken.
The first pick in the 1996 NBA draft, Iverson signed a $3.9 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and a ten year, $50 million deal with Reebok. His effort on the court is well known and respected, but for all the media portrayals of Iverson as the anti-hero, an icon of a "Hip Hop Nation" that ran counter to the NBA's carefully constructed marketing image, or as a symbol of all that is allegedly wrong in professional basketball, he remains remarkably well-grounded.
Married for six years and the father of two, Iverson is fiercely loyal to his teammates and to his childhood friends. He considered it an honor to play for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 when other NBA stars passed on the offer, and maintains a number of charity events to benefit his local community. In comparison to his NBA career, his years at Georgetown were largely free of the intense media and personal scrutiny, providing at least two years where he could grow as a person as well as a basketball player.
His arrival and exit at Georgetown is still a source of debate in some circles, but his performance on the court is not. Allen Iverson found a home, even briefly, at the Hilltop, and remains one of its brightest stars. "In my heart, I know I'm a basketball player," Iverson said following his 2006 NBA trade, "being that I know I can play with the best of them."
From that first Kenner League game on 1994, no one has doubted it since.

The 20 year sentence was later reduced to five, and Iverson was granted clemency by Gov. Douglas Wilder three months later, sending Iverson to a detention program at an alternative high school. (The original charges were thrown out by the Virginia court of appeals in 1995.)
In the spring of 1994, with Iverson still in detention, his mother approached John Thompson with a plea to help her son get to college and start a new chapter of his life. Though Thompson had passed on a number of troubled players in the past, he offered Iverson a scholarship in April of that season, contingent upon his completion of high school and his legal release, which was granted 48 hours before his Kenner debut.
By his debut in a Georgetown uniform in November 1994, Iverson had been the subject of intense national media attention. In the Hoyas' annual exhibition with Fort Hood, Iverson scored 36 points, five assists, and three steals in 23 minutes. Local columnists were in awe.
"Hang his number up in the rafters," wrote Tom Knott of the Washington Times. "He's better than most of the point guards in the NBA right now."
"I saw Lew Alcindor, Austin Carr, Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Albert King, Ralph Sampson and Patrick Ewing play in high school," said the Post's Thomas Boswell. "Now, I have two memories on my first impression top shelf. The man who became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Allen Iverson."
Iverson opened the 1994-95 season in Memphis, TN in a 97-79 loss to defending NCAA champion Arkansas, scoring 19 points. Six days later, he scored 31 in a nationally televised game with DePaul, followed by 30 four days later against Providence, leading the team in scoring 22 times that season. His only game under double figures for the season (and his career) was a game where he played only ten minutes in a loss at Villanova, a game Georgetown coach John Thompson threatened to forfeit when a group of Villanova students paraded through the Spectrum in black and white-striped prison garb, with a sign comparing Iverson to O.J. Simpson.
"You accept certain ribbing, but there is a line," Thompson said after the game. "I can condone any Christian university sitting and watching that happen...If that happens [again], I going to walk. It that simple." Such fan behavior was not seen thereafter.
Later in the season, with President Bill Clinton in attendance, Iverson scored 26 as the Hoyas routed Villanova, 77-52. He followed it up with 21 to beat Syracuse, 28 versus St. John's, 31 in a Big East tournament opener with Miami (a game that saw Iverson outscore the entire Hurricane team at the end of the first half), and 27 versus Connecticut in the semis. In the NCAA regional, he scored 24 in the loss, but held Jeff McInnis to 1 for 8 shooting. By season's end, Allen Iverson had been named Big East Player of the Week nine times, Rookie of the Year, a second team all-conference selection, and honorable mention All-America recipient. Having led the Hoyas in points and steals en route to the school's first NCAA regional appearance since 1989, Iverson was already a star. By 1996, he would become nothing less than a sensation.
The leaser of a talented team that featured four future NBA stars, Allen Iverson dominated the 1995-96 season as no Hoya has done before or since. Adept at the crossover dribble that became his NBA trademark, lightning quick to the basket, and able to score on opponents at will, Iverson was largely unstoppable. Even more impressive was an effort to improve his shooting touch, for despite averaging 20.4 points as a freshman in 1994-95 (2nd all time for a Georgetown rookie), Iverson only shot 39 percent from the field, 23 percent from three, and 19 percent from three in Big East play. For his sophomore season, his field shooting increased to 48 percent, his three point mark to 36 percent. The results were striking.
In the pre-season NIT versus Temple, Iverson shot 50 percent for 24 points and a career high 10 rebounds. After a 23 point effort against Georgia Tech, he scored a career high 40 against Arizona, one of two 40+ point games that season. In Big East play, Iverson could ring up points with ease, such as the game where he scored 21 points in only 20 minutes against Rutgers.
In the final three months of the season, Iverson led the team in 21 of the team's 25 games: 40 against Seton Hall, 39 against St. John's, 34 against Providence. He scored 30 in a wild win over Memphis, and followed it up two nights later with 26 in an upset of #3 Connecticut. For the game, Iverson totalled 26 points, 8 steals, and 6 assists, including a soaring dunk past Ray Allen and the Huskies. It was the highest ranked team any Georgetown team had defeated since 1988. His best performance of the season might have been a 37 point, 8 rebound, and three steal effort against #6 ranked Villanova, playing only 27 minutes. The 106-68 win represents the sixth largest margin of victory and the largest margin ever by a Georgetown team against a top 10 opponent.
Iverson was capable of an off game; unfortunately, two came at particularly inopportune times for the Hoyas' hopes for a national title. Entering the 1996 Big East Final with a #1 seed on the line, Iverson shot 4 for 15 and the Hoyas lost by one, 76-75. As a result of the loss, Georgetown was seeded #2 behind top ranked UMass, and in the regional final between the two teams Iverson struggled with a 6 for 21 effort in the loss. For the season, though, his statistics were astonishing: his 926 points broke the then-record by 124 points. He set new single season marks in field goals, field goal attempts, three pointers, three point attempts, steals, minutes, and scoring average (25.0), the latter of which ranked 7th in the nation that season. The Big East's defensive player of the year, he was named a consensus All-American amidst numerous other awards.
If he could somehow have stayed four years, Iverson undoubtedly would have shredded the Georgetown record books. But whatever hopes existed for Iverson to resist the lure of the NBA were short lived, particularly with the news that one of his sisters had fallen ill. Seeing the opportunity to take care of his family's medical needs, Iverson announced for the NBA draft soon after the end of his sophomore season, becoming the first Georgetown player in the Thompson era to do so. The compact that had bound so many great Hoya players to a four year commitment--from Ewing to Williams, Mourning to Mutombo--had now been broken.
The first pick in the 1996 NBA draft, Iverson signed a $3.9 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and a ten year, $50 million deal with Reebok. His effort on the court is well known and respected, but for all the media portrayals of Iverson as the anti-hero, an icon of a "Hip Hop Nation" that ran counter to the NBA's carefully constructed marketing image, or as a symbol of all that is allegedly wrong in professional basketball, he remains remarkably well-grounded.
Married for six years and the father of two, Iverson is fiercely loyal to his teammates and to his childhood friends. He considered it an honor to play for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004 when other NBA stars passed on the offer, and maintains a number of charity events to benefit his local community. In comparison to his NBA career, his years at Georgetown were largely free of the intense media and personal scrutiny, providing at least two years where he could grow as a person as well as a basketball player.
His arrival and exit at Georgetown is still a source of debate in some circles, but his performance on the court is not. Allen Iverson found a home, even briefly, at the Hilltop, and remains one of its brightest stars. "In my heart, I know I'm a basketball player," Iverson said following his 2006 NBA trade, "being that I know I can play with the best of them."
From that first Kenner League game on 1994, no one has doubted it since.
