I remember reading that story...
John Thompson feared no man alive breh. Invited the DC Kingpin to his office just to tell him to stay the fukk away.
FACTS....this nikka used to bark on them CaCs that was screaming Gorilla @ Ewing back in 85
..to the point that he was ready to knuckle up with half the Cave Beasts in the arena....
there was no bytch in this nikka's genes...like at ALL
I guess he believed in Alonzo that much...you got to respect the man for it...
