The Origins of "Maiming by Mob"

Some quick background reading on the name:
  • In his first mention in the New York Times, the maiming by mob incident is referenced in an article about Iverson committing to Georgetown. (NYTimes 6/3/94)
  • During his sophomore season, Iverson (and resultingly Georgetown) was the feature of a lengthly article in the Times. It also portrays pure John Thompson.
These links will continue as I continue to read about it. Soon I'll actually dig into the Virginia articles.
