"can't decide by myself"

" Ready 3 ways to make you
I'm the one who decided "

Now now.
Graduating
About to find a new job
Making a decision that

I will choose to work full time. I get high salary.

Or.....

I will choose to work, sell, no salary to get skills to do business.

What should I choose?

A
Here's a popular question.
No matter the whole inbox
Or live talk

When I find this question
I won't choose.
And won't answer that
What's better than anything

The mood is like
Should I buy a Japanese or European car?

Or...

I will choose a white car.
Or
Good Black?

" I believe no one can pay back

B
And.....
It must be crazy how people can pay back.
Who knows someone's heart better than him?
If you answer, it's just an opinion.

Like I replied....

White is good, handsome brother.
It's clean when it's clean.
But it's easy.
It's raining. I need to wash it.
Because it will be red and yellow stain.
Make the car a doctor.

Or

Black is also cool.
New wash time
Or the more glass coating, I ride.
But get over it
Just put your hands on the dust
Or clean cloth to wipe
Cat hair marks!

The question is....
If I could answer the question.
That's all I can do.
Promotion from car salesman
Become a cell in how to

" can you imagine?"

C C E C E E E
Honestly.
Most of the time I won't answer.
But I'll ask everyone

" what is the goal?"

Why am I asking this?

Because.....

Back to the car story.

I told you.
If a customer asks me
Should I choose white or black?

I'll tell you...

" let me see which color is stock?
I will be able to cheer for the colors that I have "
So I can sell.
And I will get money "
Frankly, is this okay?

" therefore
You will only get his opinion.
Which doesn't help you much "
Apart from temporary comfort

D
But if you ask...

Hey a!

I intend to...
Give my wife a car.
I will pick up my kid.
Most of them can't drive in the alley. Main Road.
Drive back less than 10 kilograms a day. That's all.
There's another big car anyway

I can imagine that's all.
No need for top model. No need to be a lot of system.
The Air Conditioner is not cold yet.
It's down.
So take the eco car enough

And then and and and and and
Or like me now old accord
Since I worked almost 7-8 years old.
Another 300 kg run. I will complete 200,000 km.

Start fixing tens of thousands at a time.
Of course age
It's time to buy a new one

I came to think.
Let's be honest.
Since I have a business.
Out of full time job
Plus do expert biz
Frankly, life is at home.
Some days I don't get a car stud.

Taking mom to travel. Eating is not far from home.
Going back for a few kilograms

If you go far, use it to fly.
Then rent a car
Actually use any car

F
Now now.
I'm starting to know a clear lifestyle
What do you want to do?

Assemble with the clear goals of life.
I plan to be 35
"there are plenty of people left"

So I'm very clear
And the highlight that everyone sees is
"I'm a very serious person"
"if you don't want to do anything, you won't do it"
"but if you want something, it must be the best"

"even if anyone disagrees, I will do it"
Not going around.

G G
So....

1. Current car goals
Just taking mom to eat around the house
Driving around Bangkok.
Far away from khao yai, chanthaburi, hua hin.
That's it.
Go further, fly and rent a car.
Meeting appointment. Now I use online.

2. Life goals. Age 35
I have to have a lot of use.
No more thinking about work
Thinking about passion

Thinking about family anyway
And Society continues
Create a society of going continuously.
Work according to happiness enough
Whatever you want. Enough!
Be like this for the rest of my life

H
So I calculated
Very little use of my car
And the biggest goal is
Retirement goal. Rich at 35
Which I can say cuddle wor for sure.
If I have continuous discipline

Of course today
Even though I don't drive much
I want to repay happiness
Give yourself some by leaving benz BMW
About 5 million

And when I get it, I'll be so happy.
And....
I'm going to be proud of it for 6 MONTHS-1 years
Then it will be indifferent

i
After that, the mood is gone.
And I have to pay back for a month for hundred thousand.
Warranty 60,000 per year
Not including checking range

And of course it will make me
Retire slow down
Of course I am clear
So in the building period
Common sense easily
I should cut the car I want
Temporary response to the mood
These go out

Use it just necessary
It's the same Japanese car.
Might lower the size again
From accord is a bunch
Be City car guys

Civic City altis hrv anything
If I don't think I will take mom to take the family.
Go to other provinces
Might as well drive eco car

%
So so
Willing to reduce happiness a little bit temporarily
Reduce big face, extravagant daddy
To reach the real goal faster

"surrender to jump higher"
" because if you stand tight legs, how can I jump up?"

I took this model from a successful man.
And used it all the time

Don't know
So so
Every problem, I can answer by myself.
Because my goal is very clear

Back at the question
Do you know why so many people can't choose?
Can't decide
And keep asking for confidence from others.

Because....
Actually...
" the goal is not clear!"

Or not even at all
Only day by day
Month per month
Year per year

But...
I can't answer the next 10
What will he be?

L's
When I was in my early 20 s.
I said to myself
Next 10 years before 30
I will earn 4-500,000 per month.
I pin the flag.

Which is now too much

It's not that I'm coming to show off.
Everybody knows I'm not that kind of person

But I would say
If people have goals
Let's be clear.
Even if I don't know how?

But if you move forward...
The way will come.
And most importantly.
This is clarity.
It will help us reach it

M L M L
It keeps telling me from the beginning
" when I want to be
Business owner something
I got 4-500,000 "

It also ordered me to go find knowledge.
I found a good book.
Told me to go to work for sale
Because I will...
Gained entrepreneurship skills

So, of course.
I'm fighting against all my friends
That keeps asking me
Why don't you follow the line of work?
Why do you go to work for sale?

N n n t
When I was working on selling Japanese cars.
At that time, income was included in every way.
2 million per year.
I said I was leaving
Going to be in Europe car

Everybody tell me crazy
Why start building a new customer base?
Old customers are tight.
I will get money here for cuddle days.

But I'm out because
The main goal is before 30
I have to be a business owner

So so
I need time
Sure.
I do what most people
I don't understand when I look at it.
Well, I lost half the income.

The O O O O O O
But that gives me time to go to business.
And...
9 months later
My big goal is accomplished
Income over set
I also left the sales job.

So so
On the way
I barely consulted anyone

If on the way
There are crossroads to choose from.

I'll put my big goal on it
"business owner 4-500,000"
And I'll know right away.
That's.....

"which way is good for me"

" which way makes me achieve my main goal

Starting with me, clear to myself.
What is my goal
Don't know what to do?
But I will!

P
So so
I told you today.
I'm not a salesman how to
I can't recommend anyone.

What should I choose?
Or which way is better
How can I know your heart ^_

But I solved this problem.
I will give all brothers and sisters for sure.
If you really do it

You can do it like me
The problem is....

Most of the people.
Like.......

1. Choose the path before goal

Would he think that he should go to do an uncle?
Or....
Let's go do this job?

Like you are
Ask yourself...
I'm going...

That Road?

Or...

This line is good?

The question is

" your goal is to stay on the road forever?"

Almost everyone will answer, not!

I will always ask.
I have seen it since I graduated.
Pay attention. Choose each other but the road.
Choose a career as the main point.
But never really told where to go?

So where are you going?
So I can choose the right road.
So I can choose the right career.

Many people are confused!

Can't answer

That's it.
Most people so
Still on the road next

Because he chose a career before the goal.

So so
These questions will never happen
If.....

1. You have clear life goals
And you can answer the next 10 years
Who will you be?
(answer in mind, no need to announce)

2. You make it clear enough
I don't know the way. It's
(when I was 20, I said this.
Own a business, earn 4-500,000 every month.
But that day, I don't know what to do)

3. Time you find choices in life
Each time you have to choose.
Between one.
With the.
Another one.

You will not hesitate or listen to anyone's word.
Even who doesn't understand
Or someone broke your wings

But I will look at that
My main goal first
I think it's way 2
Which leads to my goal
Let's talk about it
Without Consulting anyone

(I told you on top
That all the way
A lot of people don't understand.
My decision.
But I'm clear)

3 ways to make me....

"got a real goal"

"the one who decided"

" and no need to consult.
Ask someone a question often "

「世界為我開啟，讓你帶我遊歷」
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

世界上的語言有兩種——「無聲與有聲」。
無聲的語言，需要開啟心眼，用心感受傳遞，
有聲的語言，需要開啟想像，大膽努力練習。

做為一位外景主持人，我相信除了流暢的口條，更重要的是，用心去閱讀體會那藏在深邃眼裡、銀白髮髻、交織掌紋間的無聲語言。八年，兩千九百多個日子裡，我搜集了如繁星點點的故事與感動，閃閃亮晶晶地在我心中的小宇宙。默願著有那麼一天，我一定要站上世界的舞台，與大家分享這些亮光，分享台灣的美好。

我很感恩雖然沒有大紅大紫，但一路上滿滿是貴人與奇蹟。今年我接下了一個新節目，我將帶著五大洲12位外國朋友來認識台灣與客家文化，此時，有聲語言變得十二萬分重要，曾經短暫擔任過國小英文老師的我，用英語來表達並不陌生，但是要更精進絕對需要更有系統的學習，謝謝 TutorABC 為我開啟了新的學習大門，透過線上課程，我可以隨時隨地進入學習的情境中。

於是這天我來到美麗的北海岸邊，開始我的第一堂英文課，熱愛大自然的我，也能藉此忙裡偷閒，更重要的是，終於有這機會我能帶外國朋友看看台灣的美了！

Teacher Madison住在英國劍橋，透過螢幕鏡頭，我看見她教學的熱情與喜悅，我也藉著簡單的英文語句，跟她說此時我在這太平洋的寶島上，那海有多藍，那陽光的味緒多和煦，那礫石的觸感有多親膚，那男女老少有多熱情。

我選擇戶外活動的課程單元，課前TutorABC會先提供課程內容，讓我可以提早預習。上課過程中，Madison先帶我認識每個單字的解釋，再藉由生活經驗的分享，引導我自在地用英語來表達，最後的學習評鑑也順利地將我的學習進度完整紀錄！

我們說說笑笑，也用英文交換彼此眼前的美好景物，有幾度我眼眶紅紅，也許是橘紅夕陽映眼的關係吧，當她說起受教育的過程中，她一直都知道太平洋上有一個美麗的寶島，叫作「Formosa Taiwan」，而她也一直期待著有天能夠來台灣旅行，我們靜默了幾秒，同聲說——
So glad to meet you here today through
TutorABC！

﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

學習新的語言可以是一件很快樂的事，只要我們願意將多餘的思慮放一旁，找到童年時跟著大人牙牙學語的純真與熱情。TutorABC幫我們找回那份對於語言學習的動力，但是首先要打開你的心，用心感受，大膽學習吧！

“You opened my door to the world, and accompanied me on this global journey”


There are two kinds of languages; one is conveyed by sound while the other one is utterly silent. The “silent” language is perceived by an observant and open heart. On the other hand, a language with sound requires a wild imagination and relentless training.

As an outdoor TV host, I believe that what matters, besides speaking eloquently, is to read between the lines and to be aware of the stories in our elder’s eyes, silver hair buns, and intertwined fingerprints. During the past 8 years of my career, I collected a plethora of anecdotes, and they are just like sparkling stars in my little universe. I hope someday I can stand in front of a big crowd and show everyone these stars, which represent the gifts of Taiwan.

I am eternally grateful for those heroes and miracles along the way, even if I didn’t make it big. This year, I am hosting a new TV program. I will introduce Taiwanese and Hakka culture to twelve foreign friends from five continents. Because of this, my language skills are crucial to the success of the program. I am familiar with communicating in English since I have been an elementary school English teacher. However, in order to reach a higher level of proficiency, I need to learn in a more systematic and organized way. Thanks to TutorABC, I found a new gateway to learning, and through their online courses, I can always start learning regardless of time and space.

So, one day I came to the gorgeous northern coast, and started my first English class. As a nature lover, I can also release my stress from work. Not to mention, I finally had the chance to introduce my foreign friends to the beauty of Taiwan and its natural scenery.

Ms. Madison, my teacher, lives in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Via the camera of her computer screen, I saw her joy and enthusiasm in teaching English. With a few simple English sentences and phrases, I described the sight of this gifted island on the Pacific Ocean: the azure sea, the blazing sun, the textured rocks, and the elated people.

I chose the course related to outdoor activities. Before class, TutorABC will provide me with course material for previewing. During class, Ms. Madison will introduce the definition of the words, and encourage me to use those words to share my stories and experiences. Before the class ends, a learning assessment will be conducted to record my current progress.

We chatted, laughed, and used English to share the breathtaking view in front of us. Occasionally, my eyes were slightly red, probably due to the orange sunset that projected onto my eyes. Ms. Madison talked about her school years, and how she always knew that there is a beautiful island named “Formosa Taiwan” on the Pacific Ocean. She always looked forward to visiting Taiwan. After a few seconds of silence, we said to each other simultaneously, “So glad to meet you here today through TutorABC!”

Learning a new language can be very joyful and rewarding, if we are willing to forget all the excessive concerns and recollect the pure enthusiasm of learning our mother tongue from adults when we were still children. TutorABC can help us find back that motivation for learning language, but first, we ask you to open your mind, observe with your heart, and learn without fear!

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.

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.

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.

In their first playoff game in eight years, the Philadelphia 76ers showed the poise of postseason veterans down the stretch.

NBA scoring champion Allen Iverson scored 30 points in his first playoff game and the play of 7-footer Matt Geiger in the fourth quarter lifted Philadelphia to a 104-90 victory over the Orlando Magic in the opener of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

"I am still excited about this game," Iverson said. "I feel like I could still play another 48 minutes. The crowd was against us and it was just great playing in that kind of atmosphere. This was my first one, and I would love to play in a lot more."

"Allen told me he got 15 minutes of sleep last night, that was 15 more than I expected," said 76ers coach Larry Brown, who took his record sixth different organization to the playoffs. "It was a big thing for him to finally get here."

The game was tied at 78-78 with eight minutes left when the 76ers went on a 23-8 run over the next seven minutes to put away the game. Geiger scored 10 of his playoff career-high 23 points in that span. He also finished with a postseason-high 10 rebounds.

"I think their big guys focused on Allen a lot," Geiger said. "I got to some key spots and my teammates found me. I am feeling good about my shot right now."

Geiger, who was signed as a free agent to a six-year, $48 million contract before the season, averaged 13.5 points in 50 games during the regular season.

With Orlando's defense scrambling to double-team Iverson whenever he drove, the 76ers took advantage and grabbed 24 offensive rebounds. As a result, Philadelphia held a huge 57-36 edge on the boards.

"When you get beat by 21 rebounds in a game you are going to have a major uphill battle to stay in the game," Magic coach Chuck Daly said.

While Orlando forwards Horace Grant, Bo Outlaw and Derek Strong and centers Ike Austin and Michael Doleac converged on Iverson when he often beat his primary defender off the dribble, George Lynch was able to snake inside and grab seven offensive rebounds, many of which he converted into easy follow shots. He finished with playoff career highs 15 points and 12 rebounds.

"We try and think of ourselves as a physical team and try and rebound," Lynch said. "Today, I took it upon myself to grab every offensive rebound."

Penny Hardaway, playing with a torn ligament in his right wrist, led the Magic with 19 points but just three in the second half. Hardaway appeared reluctant to shoot from the outside because of the injury and was just 4-of-13 from the field.

Orlando's potent three-guard alignment of Hardaway, Nick Anderson and Darrell Armstrong combined to shoot just 16-of-49. Anderson and Armstrong each scored 18 points, but Anderson was 6-of-22 from the field and converted just 2-of-12 3-pointers. Armstrong hit four 3-pointers, but also had seven turnovers.

"They played well, they played their hearts out," Armstrong said. "They crashed the boards, they did everything they had to do. Give them credit, they played harder than we did."

Game Two of the best-of-five series is Tuesday night at Orlando. The Magic's 21-4 home record was the best in the East during the regular season.

Daly, known for instituting a special defensive strategy against Michael Jordan which became known as the "Jordan Rules" while coaching the Detroit Pistons to back-to-back NBA titles in 1989 and 1990, made special contingencies for Iverson.

During the regular season, Iverson averaged 22.7 points in three games against the Magic, but shot just 37 percent from the field.

Today, Daly again used a multitude of defenders against Iverson, who made 12-of-29 shots. Along with Orlando's three guards, forwards Matt Harpring and Outlaw also took turns on Iverson. But none could stop Iverson from effectively driving to the basket, which caused Orlando's interior defenders to scramble out of position, leaving the Sixers free to crash the boards.

"We've done about everything," Daly said. "I think no matter what you do he is going to get 25 points. We don't have the quickness to double him. We have to run at him with Derek Strong, Ike Austin and Michael Doleac."

"I really don't think anybody can guard me," Iverson said. "I am not being conceited. I just believe in my God-given ability. I don't think anybody can guard me one-on-one."

Despite being pounded on the boards and shooting poorly, Orlando hung tough through most of the second half and even took a 76-75 lead on a follow shot by rookie Michael Doleac with 9:18 left.

Tyrone Hill rebounded Iverson's miss and converted a follow shot while being fouled. He added the free throw to give the 76ers a two-point lead but Orlando tied it on Anderson's lane hook.

Just 5-of-17 in the second half, Iverson gave the Sixers the lead for good when he faked Armstrong with a stutter-step and hit a 15-footer Geiger hit an inside basket with 6:54 left to increase the lead to 82-78.

Armstrong hit his fourth 3-pointer to pull Orlando within 82-81. After Iverson converted 1-of-2 free throws, the Magic turned the ball over twice. Lynch hit two free throws and Theo Ratliff had one to open an 86-81 lead for the Sixers.

After an illegal defense call, Armstrong hit a free throw but Hardaway missed a layup. Eric Snow set up Geiger with a perfect alley-oop pass for a dunk to give Philadelphia an 88-82 lead with just under five minutes left.

Orlando's Derek Strong and Isaac Austin hit jumpers but Geiger responded with jumpers of his own each time. The Sixers scored the next nine points to put away the game. After Ratliff hit a pair of free throws with 2:50 left, Iverson found Snow for a fast-break layup that opened a 96-86 lead with 1:56 to go.

Iverson celebrated by chest-bumping Lynch while most of the stunned sellout crowd of 15,267 filed out. Geiger hit four free throws and Snow added three in the final 86 seconds.

Iverson and Lynch combined for 20 points to help Philadelphia build a 31-22 lead after one period. Iverson hit a runner in the lane and a jumper and rookie Larry Hughes converted a follow shot and a dunk as the Sixers closed the quarter with a 9-2 run.

"We played so hard in the first quarter that I thought that might have set the tone," Brown said.

Orlando cut the deficit to 50-47 at halftime thanks to its foul shooting. Hardaway was 10-of-12 from the line in the second quarter and the Magic were 23-of-31 from the line in the first half.

Anderson drilled a 3-pointer to open the second half, tying the game. Orlando took a 57-56 lead on a 3-pointer by Armstrong with 8:54 left in the third quarter but Philadelphia scored the next six points on a tip by Ratliff, a pair of free throws by Lynch after he was fouled on an offensive rebound and two free throws by Snow.

Orlando responded with a 7-2 run and tied the game at 64-64 on a three-point play by Doleac with just under three minutes left in the third quarter.
