Washington Times - Last month, a Prince George’s County Circuit Court judge sentenced Page to 10 years in jail after he pleaded guilty to second-degree assault. Page had been out of jail less than a month on unrelated charges when three Prince George’s County Sheriff’s deputies were summoned to a Forestville apartment at 1:03 a.m. on Feb. 8.
“The suspect jumped out of bed, pulled the victim’s hair tearing it from the scalp,” the statement of probable cause read. “He then dragged her to the bathroom, throwing her into the tub and running hot water on her while punching the victim repeatedly in the face.”
The statement continued: “The suspect then ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife and stabbed the victim on her right hand and right thigh. The victim then ran outside as the suspect chased her with the knife and stated he was going to kill her.”
But trouble of every variety has been Page’s companion since he starred at McKinley Tech High School, from the laundry list of charges covering everything from cocaine to theft to the unlawful use of a livestock vehicle to the gunshot two days before Thanksgiving in 2003 that took his right eye.
Over the last three and a half years, Page has been charged with 33 crimes in Maryland and the District. He’s been found guilty of (or pleaded guilty to) six of them, including two second-degree assaults, a fourth-degree sexual offense, unlawful entry, fourth-degree burglary and possession of marijuana.
Georgetown fans might remember Victor Page from back in the Iverson days as the high scoring guard who was a bigger gunner than Aaron Hernandez on PCP. Well, much like AI, looks like life in his late 30’s are not treating Victor all that well. After leaving Georgetown early only to be undrafted and spending years in the CBA, he’s decided to pursue other ventures, you know, normal post basketball moves, like losing a fucking eye in a Thanksgiving gun fight. While Iverson has testified in his child support hearings that he’s so broke that he doesn’t even have enough money to buy a fucking cheeseburger, and Victor is swabbing the prison decks like fucking Blackbeard’s Cabin Boy, where the fuck is John Thompson?
Back in the mid-90’s after the Georgetown program had
struggled to make Final Four runs even with Who Wants to Sex Mutombo and Alonzo
Mourning, so Thompson decided to follow Bob Huggins’ lead at Cincinnati and
brought in troubled kids with incredible talent, but after spending 2 years at
Hilltop, they fucking bolted to the League. Now I know Big John and AI continued
to have a relationship, of course he would - he’s one of the greatest players
in the past 25 years. If Big John loves all his kids the same, where the fuck was he when Victor Page was sleeping on the street? Could it be that the
whole Father/Mentor thing he preached was just a bunch of bullshit to, oh I don’t
know, win fucking basketball games? Now I know that John Thompson has done a
lot of good, and I’m sure along the way he’s tried to help Victor Page, but
seriously, how the fuck can you turn your back on one of your players like
this? What kind of Coach/Mentor has two of his kids end up like Iverson and
Victor Page? Both flat out broke, one in prison and the other likely headed
that way. Honestly, both these guys will be lucky to be alive in 10 years and
who will likely be front and center talking about how he did everything he did
to help them? John Fucking Thompson.
