Painting with fire on chopsticks! A piece to find beauty in ordinary materials, and celebrate all that Singapore is today and in the days to come.

Facebook wanted a mural on their 10 meter long wall in their Singapore office, and requested that it be made of chopsticks as the space is right beside their cafe (which serves amazing food all day - employees are so lucky!). I wanted to explore bamboo chopsticks as a material and experiment with alternative methods to create murals, so instead of painting on the wall, I decided to set it ablaze. 15,000 bamboo chopsticks were glued, torched, then layered again and burnt a few more times to create depth and dimension to the piece.

This piece depicts the story of the Merlion - a mythical creature with the head of a lion and body of a fish, and its significance as Singapore's national icon. The Merlion is the guardian of Singapore and has protected the country from waves, storms and enemies, from its early days as a village to where it is now. The Merlion is seen smiling as it is looking forward to the the future with enthusiasm and hope.

Big thanks to Mond and Jannette of United Make - UDMK for working on this project with me on the design and construction (shown in video), as well as my team Vanessa Bong, Michael Mack and Sam Koh who illustrated, concept developed and managed this project (not shown in video). The amazing Jootz See of Back Alley Creations for shooting and directing this, and FB head chef Tim Wong for being game enough to act in this video (last-minute request! We actually really did take all of his chopsticks). And a massive thank you to Facebook Singapore for having me create this piece - it was so much fun and I loved working with your team, and in your beautiful office!

ps: Notice the little details - like the boats in his mane and the fisherman on his boat with his Facebook browser on, on his laptop (in reference to internet.org!).

ตอนอยู่ก็บ่นเรื่องอึฉี่ไม่เป็นที่เป็นทาง กระโดกกระเดกเพราะมี 3 ขา ขี้ตกใจ โง่ ขี้กลัว เครียดง่าย เป็นหมาที่เอาตัวรอดไม่เป็น ออกจะรำคาญเสียด้วยซ้ำที่มันจะตระหนกตกใจกับอะไรง่ายขนาดนี้
.

แต่คืนวันนั้น เรากำลังเอาหมาทั้ง 8 ตัวเก็บเข้าบ้าน การ์เด้นหมา 3 ขา พิการแต่กำเนิดที่เราช่วยชีวิตมาตั้งแต่ทารกและเลี้ยงมาจนถึงขวบกว่าๆ ก็พินิจพิเคราะห์ด้วยมันสมองที่ไร้ประสบการณ์ของตัวเอง ถอดสายจูงวิ่งออกไปข้างนอกตัวเดียว
.

เราไม่ค่อยตกใจเท่าไหร่ เพราะเหตุการณ์แบบนี้เกิดขึ้นบ่อย และเราชอบที่จะให้การ์เด้นท์ผ่อนคลาย ด้วยการคลายสายจูงแล้วให้วิ่งเล่นหน้าบ้าน เพราะการอยู่ในสายจูงของการ์เด้นนานๆคือความเครียด เขาก็จะกลับเข้าบ้านตามปกติ
.

เราจึงไล่เก็บหมาทุกตัวให้หมด แล้วจึงวิ่งออกไปตามการ์เด้น ในเวลาไม่ถึง 10 นาที แล้วเราก็พบแต่ความว่างเปล่าของถนนตอนตี 1 ที่ไม่มีคน จะมีแต่ก็เพียงรถแท็กซี่ที่นานๆจะวิ่งในหมู่บ้าน
.

เราเริ่มหาตั้งแต่ตี 1 จวนจะถึงเช้า เรียกด้วยเสียงทุกแบบ พยายามฟังเสียงสะบัดหูที่การ์เด้นชอบทำแต่กลับไม่มีเสียงตอบรับใดๆ ทุกตรอกซอกซอยมีเพียงความมืด ไร้เงาของหมากระโดกกระเดกตัวเดิม
.

เวลาผ่านมาวันที่ 3 ป้ายไวนีลขนาดใหญ่ที่ติดไว้ตามหาการ์เด้นก็ไม่มีใครโทรมาแม้แต่คนเดียว เสียงประกาศตามสายก็ไม่มีการตอบรับใดๆ
.

เรามืดแปดด้าน
ความขี้กลัวของการ์เด้นไม่น่ามีใครจับเขาได้
หมู่บ้านเข้าออกได้ทางเดียว แต่ รปภ ก็ไม่เห็น
ไม่มีใครเห็นเบาะแสใดๆ
.

และตอนนี้เราก็กำลังรู้สึกปั่นป่วน หันไปทางไหนก็นึกว่าเป็นการ์เด้น ความกระโดกกระเดกเพราะมี 3 ขา ขี้ตกใจ โง่ ขี้กลัว เครียดง่าย เป็นหมาที่เอาตัวรอดไม่เป็น ยิ่งทำให้เรารู้สึกทรมานในหัวใจ และเป็นห่วงเขาเหลือเกิน
.

เป็นความผิดพลาดของเราเองที่ดูแลได้ไม่รัดกุมพอ
โปรดช่วยแชร์เพื่อตามหาหมา 3 ขา ของพวกเรา

When I was here, I didn't know how to pee shit because I had 3 legs. I was shocked, scared, stressed, easily. It was a dog that I couldn't even bother to panic about anything. How much is this?
.

But that night, we were putting 8 dogs into the garden house, disabled dogs, but the birth that we saved from baby and raised until a year old. It's a little bit of our own inexperienced brain. Take off the leash. Going out alone
.

We are not shocked because this kind of event happens often and we like to relax by loosen the leash and run in front of the house because being in the garden for a long time. He will be back home as usual.
.

So we picked up all the dogs and ran out to the garden in less than 10 minutes. Then we found the emptiness of the road at 1 am that there was no one but it was just a long time to run in Village village
.

We started looking at 1 am. It's almost in the morning. I tried to listen to listen to the ears that garden. But there is no response. Every alley. There is only darkness without the same dog.
.

Time has passed on 3, the large Vineal sign that I have been looking for garden. No one called. No answer.
.

We are dark on eight sides.
Gardens fear no one should catch him
The village can go in and out of one way, but the security guard doesn't see
No one sees a clue.
.

And now we are feeling turbulent. I thought it was a garden because there were 3 legs, scared, scared, easy to be a dog who didn't know how to survive. It makes us feel in our heart and worried about him. So much so much
.

It's my own mistake that I can't take care of it.
Please share to find our 3 legged dog

"วิธีแก้ไขโรคลังเล"

"ตัดสินใจด้วยตัวเองไม่ได้"

"พร้อม3วิธีที่ทำให้คุณ...
Continue Reading"how to fix hesitation disease"

"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 "

一個最喜愛的，
一個最寶貝的，
你們都知道的。

Better Believe Me 一切都是過程
曾被打破的自尊
Believe Me 勇敢去面對的人
會是勝利的認證
經歷失敗挫折的傷痕
一路擁有著彼此的扶持和信任
Better Believe Me, we can make it happen
恨也能轉為愛重生

I'm just living my life
睡在泳池邊躺椅
你看我在幹嘛
最屌的饒舌團體
從歐洲到木柵
照片留在粉絲手裡
人生正在 Changing
This shit's so Amazing
曾經什麼都沒有別跟我說這一餐太貴
我帶著我的家人十位小姐妳先帶位
以前幫人抬轎現在自己座在轎子上
看到上面的風景才知道為何這轎子晃
她問我花多少時間想歌詞我今晚又熬夜
問你睡那麼多要幹嘛死後不也是要睡
我信的不只有是信念
拿自己的命換經驗
說的每句話都靈驗
隨時準備再活一遍
Believe dat

Better Believe Me 一切都是過程
(You know I do, I do)
曾被打破的自尊
Believe Me 勇敢去面對的人
會是勝利的認證
經歷失敗挫折的傷痕
一路擁有著彼此的扶持和信任
(You know I will be there)
Better Believe Me, we can make it happen
恨也能轉為愛重生


靠著自己屬於我們作風
環境將夢想沒收
擅未到達顛峰別想從我的手上奪走
經歷過那挨苦頭日子撐到最後我精力夠
盡力作收勝利的果實讓他們重新定義我

從來都不想被人看不起
再苦的鳥事都不提
只想邁向成功步行
遇到阻力不停努力
才沒有背景炫耀 ㄧ切靠我費力建造
夢想跟現實的煎熬
即使沒吃飽我也不先逃

為了達成夢想能延續
我寧願去打工
顧好生計,這是前提
不餓死再想著追逐夢

航向全世界 沒人玩票我們全職業
現在我才沒時間
別煩我演出完還有他媽的慶功宴

Better Believe Me 一切都是過程
(You know I do, I do)
曾被打破的自尊
Believe me 勇敢去面對的人
會是勝利的認證
經歷失敗挫折的傷痕
一路擁有著彼此的扶持和信任
(You know I will be there)
Better Believe Me, we can make it happen
(You know I do, I do)
恨也能轉為愛重生

Fuckin' wit me fuckin' wit you
At least I ain't frontin' wit you
I love da way you gettin' caught up
and all up in my alley-oop
Mitch, get ready for round two
in our courtyard, we be clownin' a fool
Shut da fuck up, I charge for free throws
Score, now, catch my
Flow, whoa, yes, 台語麻ㄟ通
看今仔日是叨位來玩ㄟ觀眾
And I really gotta wanna get on the microphone
給 Skottie Suyama 來放給你爽
He say my shit is classic
as if I'm doin' some magic
I'll make your fantasies come true
Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, muah~

Better Believe Me 一切都是過程
(You know I do, I do)
曾被打破的自尊
Believe Me 勇敢去面對的人 (Uh huh)
會是勝利的認證
經歷失敗挫折的傷痕
(Okay)
一路擁有著彼此的扶持和信任

Better Believe It, Yeah, we made it happen
(You know I do, I do)
恨也能轉為愛重生

You know you better believe me

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.
