Here’s one of my first front-page stories at WaPo —1993 on Allen Iverson, the top high school basketball star in the nation who was arrested for a racially charged bowling alley brawl. Editor who put this on page one—Bob Woodward. I was a summer intern.https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1993/09/06/a-star-rising-or-falling/f6687526-6714-4bfc-a317-abe92cddda38/ …
Iverson was sentenced to jail, pardoned by Douglas Wilder, first black governor since reconstruction. Iverson landed at Georgetown, John Thompson sent player to French Foreign Legion to get scholarship, Iverson was suspended by NCAA for a day (story I broke). I covered all that.
Here’s one I wrote on Michael Ri, a 7’10” North Korean basketball player training in Ottawa w/Canadian coach, Sudan training partner, sports management company funding it and South Korean girl to translate. He was blocked from NBA by Treasury sanctionshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1997/08/14/n-koreas-tall-order/aaba525f-be39-4a28-9131-fb675f671ccf/ …
