George Thompson attended Erasmus HS in Brooklyn and later would play for Marquette where he held a single-season scoring record. A three-year letter winner (1967-69), George Thompson was the all-time scoring leader in Marquette basketball history with 1,773 points for 40 years.

Thompson was drafted by the Minnesota Pipers in the second round of the 1969 ABA draft and chose to sign with them over the Celtics, who selected him with the 66th overall pick (fifth round) of the 1969 NBA draft. Minnesota relocated to Pittsburgh before Thompson's rookie season. Thompson was also a first-round draft choice of the Memphis Tams in the 1972 ABA dispersal draft, following the dissolution of the Florida and Pittsburgh franchises. He would end his professional career back in Milwaukee with the Bucks. Thompson would later become a regular basketball analyst for MU basketball on television and radio for 27 years.
