There is no one, not ever, back then or now that could shoot the ball like ice! Layups from 10 or 15 feet out and with either hand, effortlessly, he was grace in motion truly one of a kind!
Although he could hit "nothing but net" (anytime he wanted) Gervin's use of the backboard is an aspect to his game that young players should take notes on.
The way ICE shuffles his feet on the dribble is something I hadn't noticed before. I started using this in my pickup games and it's a game changer. Thanks for putting this video together!
Over 50%FG from a 2 guard. He laid the foundation for the small market. Ice Man is the man here in San Antonio. He is surely the greatest scorer of San Antonio.
Finally, full representative work. 10 years old and a fan in 1973 when the Dallas Chaparrals came to San Antonio then changed name to Spurs. In 1974, Gervin came to SA. The greatest scorer in NBA history, period. A shot for every occasion. And don't forget, 52% career FG percentage. That mean 1 out of every 2 shots went in the bucket.
Hey 70sFan this is an absolute awesome video and I'm glad you took the time out to post it. Thanks! This is some of the best footage I've seen on Gervin thus far. I also love the way you broke things down into categories. I noticed you even have some footage from Gervin's last year with the Bulls. Can you get a hold of the game from the 85/86 season when Ice scored 45 points against the Dallas Mavericks? The date of the game is January 27, 1986.
I followed Ice this whole career I went to the Hall of Fame with Ice May 6 1996 he used to call me his shot gun man from New York city and I look like James Silas I know Ice was the greatest scorer in the history of the game
@@70sfan imo it's "Magic" and The Doctor/Dr. J. Iceman is just so dope to me. I think anybody would love to walk on the court having the moniker of "The Iceman". It invokes different emotions and is ironically just cool as can be "Slim Reaper" for KD is hard as hell too

No, it wasn't. But he still averaged over 14 pts per game, off the bench. Also had a couple of 40 point games that last season with Chicago. Could have easily averaged 20+ per game.

Ice is still my favorite all time player. 1h 11m? You must have found every Gervin highlight ever.
I tried my best, though I have found more Gervin highlights since I created this video.
Ice was AWESOME, scores with ease, dunked it with the best…..and he put the finger in finger role. Basically Unstoppable …….thanks Ice

The bank shot..a lost 🎨. Such an easy shot to master & always reliable.
Gotta put him in the conversation of the best finishers at the basket.

You're welcome! You're learning the game from the best of the best!
He made the game look so easy
The 😎 to ever grace the hardwood along with the "Dr"
Wow! This is some great stuff. Thanks. Iceman one of the best to ever do it.
Indeed, one of the best scorers ever. Thanks for this comment!
Lightning quick first step helped him go where he wanted!
That combined with his shooting touch made him impossible to stop in late 1970s.
And long arms too

It's true, he was their best player until they drafted Admiral. Still 3rd best Spurs player ever.

Amazing. Lots of effort went into this one. Thank you. God Bless
A scoring machine who could score at will over anyone...

Old man blew right by Jordan. Wow.

For now, I don't have the game against the Mavs, but I will try to find it.
@@70sfan Okay cool thanks my man!
Wow thanks! He was a tad before my time but my dad gave me the 🧊 poster and loved his style

at 49 going on 50 years old, Ice is the reason why i watch bball to this day.
Gervin & Jamal Wilkes- smoothest players ever.
Much Gratitude
Experience is the final period and the most important skill .
Iceman looked like he had the ball on a string..
Great video
There's mj and Kobe but ice is in the conversation also
There is Ice. Kobe & Jordan in the conversation.

Are the black and white video from college or is that early ABA action?
This is from 1976 ABA game.
Do you think George Gervin playing for chicago was one of the best seasons of his career?
Strange question...
No, it wasn't. But he still averaged over 14 pts per game, off the bench. Also had a couple of 40 point games that last season with Chicago. Could have easily averaged 20+ per game.

The second best shooting guard in NBA history JORDAN IS FIRST
Get outta here! Gervin tutored Jordan.

Top 5 SG’s ever in my opinion
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Dwayne Wade
4. Allen Iverson
5. George Gervin don’t @ me
I'd have Gervin over Iverson without thinking twice.
@@70sfan honestly that was a tough one for me too but I went with the slight edge to Ivo
44% shooter at 6 feet over a 51% shooter at 6'9, the backwards thinking 21st century smh
