Vintage George Gervin Highlights
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- A compilation of some of George Gervin's NBA highlights while he played for San Antonio (because we will all try to forget that he played for the Bulls at the end of his brilliant career).
Maybe the smoothest scorer in NBA history, and his finger-roll has never been replicated since his retirement.

I was in an airport as a 7 year old with my Dad. A large african american man is standing to the side trying not to get noticed. My dad nudged me and said “ask that man if hes the ice man”. I walked up to him and asked and he smiled, imitates the finger roll and says “yes i am”
cool story
Amazing. The cultural impact this man had goes underappreciated. That Ice Man poster is still the coldest thing I've ever seen in print.
Awesome story!
I love it 💯💯💯💯
Cool ❤
Ice had everything and was so buttery smooth.
Hey thats me up there lol
Indeed it is!
i saw you in the kawhi leanord video and decided to search up who george gervin is.. funny how ur in a random video comment.
Salute OG...Legendary! The Iceman Cometh...while finger rolling...Salute
You colder than me fighting Vegeta with SSJ2 when I was already SSJ3.
Great scorer, but Gervin never won ANYTHING.Not in high school, college or the pros.That`s why Gervin is not a truly great player.
this is my youth
If George & Magic had a kid he'd be named Girven Johnson.
took one of the most difficult shots in basketball & mastered it! to me, Big Dog Robinson was like the Gervin of my era
The Admiral , he didn't have the breadth or variety of shots Gervin had. Robinson was a nice play, but really just a jump shooter with only so so range.
The ice man
His finger roll was the equivalent to Jabbar’s sky hook.
Yep, couldn’t be blocked
His floaters where finger rolls, man this is sick people really think that he can’t come in an NBA today and do this stuff. Are you kidding me? He would ball today moves are moves
The finger roll king
Has anybody else ever perfected the finger roll? Also nobody has tried to perfect Kareem's sky hook.
Dude had 7 to 12 layups a game. He was a smooth kat
Van PastorMan
Wilt??
Van PastorMan
And baylor
Fingarow!
It's amazing how the Iceman is always overlooked in the top players in NBA history. He was one of the smoothest scorers to ever play the game. Dr. J was the Michael Jordan of that era and George Gervin was like the Clyde Drexler of that era!
Dr J had better teammates, especially in Philly, than Iceman ever did.
He was so smooth he made things that should’ve looked difficult look like a routine play. Guys like that, ironically, get overlooked.
I think you mean that the other way around since Iceman and the Dr. J preceded them, and They were Jordan and Drexler's idols.
Iceman was one of the greatest scorer in this time. My favorite player.
Only Wilt and MJ have more scoring titles than Ice....let that sink in for a minute. He still holds the record for most points in a quarter.
@@iess2006 he's tied for 3rd bro what are you on💀
My bad guys....it's my fault since I don't watch today's NBA and it's spoiled "stars"...doesn't take away from Ice's greatness tho.
@@iess2006 spoiled how? Because of inflation and how the dollar works?
@@pierrecausemybladdersempty1678 It's good of u to bring up inflation, but that doesn't even come close to covering the difference in income between eras.
his layups on legendary
"The Iceman" was so awesome. Smooth, no wasted motion, and the bank was always open on a Sunday!
Thanks for posting this video.
lebrons better
@@Albyy75 Of course he is.
Absolutely no wasted motion the whole video...beautiful
Underrated comment
Literally no wasted motion!
Born in 99 but this my favorite old school player I found out about him while using the 80s spurs on 2k15 his jumpshot was wet af 😂
Me with Mark Price 💀
@@supermoneyball420 me with Elgin Baylor
Same bro 99 gang grew up a spurs fan he’s one of the most underrated legends nowadays💯
George Gervin was an amazing player who seemed to score at will and helped lay the foundation for the Spurs' later championships, and who else can finger roll as he did?
I think that with some tweaks the Spurs could have won titles in the Gervin era.
What do you mean who else can finger roll as he did????? he’s got the most basic fundamental layup package
@@mr.anderson1562 I tried doing his finger roll and let me tell ya, it is easy to do but difficult to get his finesse. It looks basic but it ain't.
They had a chance but blew a lead against the bullets but ice to me was the best player during the late 70s and early 80s
@@keithstoute4603 The refs robbed them in that 7th game with a phantom offensive foul on Billy Paultz.
Score at will ?? Mo cheeks exposed him lmao George leaves the ball infront of him to much to get stolen
The Iceman...my fav player of all time. Yes, I said it
I second that damn motion! Growing up everybody in my area was all about Dr J, but i was an Ice Cube! Didnt play a lick of D 🤣- but he was still my favorite player. Im always sending his highlights to youngsters i know.
Bro I’m only 27 so I never seen this dude play but WTF is this layup package he had. Godly lol. This shit looks so slow but he’s smooooth as hell lol. Dude was basically doing like finger roll floaters 🙏🏾
The finger roll was his thing. That, and his use of the bank shot
This is my first time watching Gervin highlights and that tear drop/finger roll is cold COLD!!!👀😮💨🥶✊🏿
he played with a chain on.!!!!!what the..... 😱😱😱😱😱
Tristan Davis trill nigga
+Tristan Davis;The Iceman hailed from the COLDEST hood in Detroit:Van Dyke @East Jefferson,so yes,he liked to rock his jewels even on the court!! Ole boy went to King highschool in southeast Detroit!!
Suprised a rapper didnt flip it "ballin like george gervin" I can see someone like 2 chainz doin that lol.
Norm Nixon did too when he played for the Lakers. That was something the cool cats in the NBA did back then. Even Jordon rocked a chain in his first or second dunk contest
@@leetate1963 And Jordan got it from the old Greyhound himself, Walter Davis of the Suns.
The Iceman...one of the most underated and undermentioned players
Agreed on both
NBA street volume 2 is what got me to become huge Iceman and Dr. J fans. Bought both of their cards off of ebay back in the day because of it.
How old are you thats not true that's hes one of the all time scorers and in the Hall of fame why do folks use the word underrated on RUclips so dang much is it trendy or something
@@anthonytaylor7928 Right on man thanks for sharing your opinion. But im sorry to inform that he is most definitely underrated and is rarely ever brought up or talked at all in sports media. They don't even bring him up when discussing great players from his own team but they frequently acknowledge Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and IceMan was better than 2 out of the 3.
@@one7deep7savage7
I have always said that Iceman never had the support system the other superstars had and the only time he actually had a complete teammate (Jordan), his knees were shot from carrying the Spurs for all those years.
I watched his entire career. There were many games when I thought, 'is he ever going to miss'? No one possesses his touch around the rim. The Ice Man was a killa!
I do.
Here after watching RB the breakthrough
Same
Me,too but this Highlight is trash, George Gervin did a lot more than than basic Lay up drills.
Young players don’t have those skills.
i grew up watching The Iceman in the ABA...now That was something!
George Gervin was an incredible player! He had some kind of magic touch and could make shots in heavy traffic in which you'd wonder how he could get the shot off. And uncanny with those bank shots!
Right! He made his money in the trenches. He averaged 30 a game in the paint in his prime.
It must be really annoying to actually believe you have a block and then the ball just rolls right over your fingers and into the basket lmao..
Iceman
A basketball Artist...the Ice Man has tons of Style..
MAN THANK YOU! this is sooo rare an 17 minute gervin highlight!!
if you accept requests, i'd like to see a bernard king highlight. the guy was also a beast scorer
I'm definitely taking requests. I want to make a Bernard King video eventually, but it will be a while. There's several other players like Alex English that I want to make a video for prior to a King video.
+PockyCandy Bernard King!!!! Pistol Pete, George Mc Ginnis, the DOCTOR, Andrew Toney, SIXERS V. CELTICS ...
PockyCandy Thanks 4 this.The Ice man shucks the Nice man.👍
The father of the FINGER ROLL!!!!
Actually that was Wilt, and then Doc, and maybe some Connie Hawkins in there too. Ice said all this in an interview once. But as he said to Wilt at the Top 50, he perfected it!
@@iess2006 You could have a point I saw Wilt do this in his early years he was also the original 7ft point guard he is the only one big man to have lead the league in assists.
@@dwightlove3704 LOL even Wikipedia says Wilt invented it....hope u enjoy the links, thanks for supporting the Iceman :) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_roll
@@iess2006 I bought his Spurs Jersey trying to get my hands on his Virginia Squires Jersey he played briefly with Dr.J thanks for the info.
@@dwightlove3704 Absolutely, Doc mentored Ice as a rookie at the Squires...they used to stay after practice and play one on one. Too bad there's no video of that!!! Search on the story of how Doc and Pistol almost played together for the Hawks, tragic! Doc tried to leave the ABA for the Hawks and it was blocked.
Fun Fact: The Iceman's grandson, Cash, goes to m school, and his nickname is The Iceman. I actually had no idea that they were related until I searched him up, which is really cool
accounts that upload raw footage without music make the basketball world go round. Invaluable work. Thanks Pocky Candy!
Thank you for watching the video. I should probably make more of these basketball video, but sadly they're much more difficult (and thus is MUCH more time-consuming) to make than football videos.
Easily second greatest shooting guard of all time..26ppg 51%fg 4 scoring titles in 10 nba seasons..blocked more shots in 10 seasons than kobe did in 20..young fans caught up in created hype (kobe 98 all star smh)don't know history of game.
Come on Kobe had 81.
4 50 pt games in a row.
9 40.
16 30+
46 in a half
Career high 55 in a half..
6 60s
Youngest sg to ever be drafted
Most points and assist than ANY 2guard
5 chips
2 scoring titles
5chips
Rookie year slam dunk champ
Best feet work for a guard
I love Ice Man but Kobe has the stats and accolades.
Kobe was the most doubled n tripled teamed player in NBA history.
Averaged 40 for a month 3 diff times!.
He didnt play 20 full seasons due to coming off the bench his 1st 3 seasons and injuries his last 3 seasons.
More like 15 years.
Put some respect on Kobe name.
Ice Man is my 3rd fav sg of all time.
Kobe
MJ
Gervin
T Mac
Wade
Cameron Nebraska tmac was a sf not a sg
He hasn’t won even 1 ring forget 2nd he’s not even top 10
This is a SPECIAL video of a tremendous player. Thanks!
George Gervin -- one of the best. An ABA great before he, David Thompson, Julius Erving, Artis Gilmore and others proved the ABA was as great as the other league.
Better. ABA had soul.
Well said
ABA made up half the NBA All Star team the first year they joined. ABA was loaded with talent.
@bigred2880 Testify!
The nickname says it all "The Iceman" ; also one of the best posters ever, his Nike poster from back in the day; sitting on ice with the two ice basketballs; one in each hand; iconic poster!
3:54 Now, that was Sweet! The right handed dribble, then the left, then to the hole, then the dunk!
1980s NBA. George Gervin and Bernard King were unstoppable.
And two of the most overlooked greats
@@sebclot9478those guys could score with the best of them
The Ice Man.... one of the greatest scorers the NBA has ever seen. Was unstoppable..... King of the Finger Roll...... Was fun to watch from the ABA... to the NBA...
man the league sure did look super physical back then....
The 90s were physical. The late 70s early 80s NBA stylistically was meh
@@jwtt9000 80s were more physical..90s made rule changes and was less physical
Think of this people:The N.B.A didn't have to MODIFY even ONE rule to assist Gervin in scoring!!! To boost Jordan past Detroit however,David Stern OUTLAWED hand-checking,zone defenses and other defensive tactics!! If you are supposedly the greatest of all-time,you don't NEED to have the rules changed to help you win!! Jordan was definitely NOT the G.O.A.T!!
Always surprised me that no modern player mastered the finger roll like Gervin or the sky hook like Jabbar. Unstoppable.
I would say kyrie has pretty much mastered the finger roll and ur right no one has mastered the sky hook
RB Brought me here
Facccctttss
The "Iceman"!! One of the best scorers in the NBA!!!
The Iceman was very underappreciated as he played in the NBA where you could get clothesline or basically mugged during the game! Imagine the iceman playing in today's game! I would had love to see Iceman and Pistol Pete in today's game! All records would be broken!
Great video thank you! Gervin not only was a great scorer but very efficient with a high FG %. He could score in droves without taking a ton of shots. This kind of skill was crafted by many hours shooting alone working on his game. Good stuff!
Can’t believe these folks said harden better than him 🤦🏾♂️
such a privilege to see him at the gym every time I go, He's there at least 3 times a week.
George Gervin plays basketball at your gym?
seb clot lol ya you’re not gonna just say that like it’s normal haha
@@imperialbengal4068 , that's crazy and awesome! What is it like playing with him? I bet he still has that smooth jumper. It's the stories that would excite me the most. He must have some great stories to tell.
Horace Grant used to work out at a gym I went to towards the end of his playing days. This would have been 2002 and 2003. He would never play with us though. He would just work out on machines. That was probably a good thing since nobody that played in our group was bigger than 6-5. He would have squashed us like bug.
Mr. SMOOTH😎 Gervin was
My all-time B-ball idol coming up as a kid in the 70's...The Iceman cometh, The Iceman scoreth.
You definitely had to pick Ice up from about mid-court....Top 3 favorite player of mine. Love watching him play.
People don't realize these highlights was when he was older. George and Dr J was on a team in Virginia that would've ran ANY NBA team out of the gym...Gervin would drop 47 and not even sweat.
You mean back then ?
@@SKAMGOD With the defensive rules today and that team averaging 137 points a game or more, without hand checking etc, they would be a problem even Today. No load management and the newest shoes ...
@@manonanisland2712 you can’t honestly believe that their skill set would translate in today’s game. Today’s athletes are stronger, faster, smarter, and healthier then back then. I love The ice mans game or else I wouldn’t be here. That finger roll was beautiful. These guys really paved the way for what we’re seeing today, no question. But innovation is a real thing and doesn’t just apply to technology. We get better, it’s what we do my good man
@@SKAMGOD You do realize that George Gervin lead the league in scoring 4 times in 5 years starting in 76. That was years after his Virginia Squires days with Dr J, He also played in Spain post NBA and averaged 28 ppg. and he was 38 or 39 years old. I wouldn't dare say that about Football, but these strong, healthier and athletic players of today still can't shoot and the Virginia Squires with Dr and ice would run today's Knicks and Bulls out of the gym for sure. I played well pass my prime against way younger more athletic Guy's I can't count the times I heard don't leave Uncle open, you need to push up on Uncle he can shoot. I watched Danny Green air ball wide open jumpers in the finals, we can both agree it would be interesting at least. Be safe crossover !
@@manonanisland2712 I didnt know that and that’s really impressive. I guess my over all point would be that on average the league is better now. Meaning if you take an average player from back then and an average player from today who do you think would be better?these kids today have so many weapons due to the evolution of the game. There will always be exceptions with greats that stand out, but if the overall competition is lower doesn’t that take away from the comparison of today’s game? I mean does anyone really think Wilt would of drop a 100 today?
he would score so quickly, effortlessly and from anywhere on the court; you would look up and he had 14 points in a quarter shake your head and say.....what/how???
28 PTS at the half on a lot of nights. Singularly, this is why those Spurs teams in Gervin day were so good and won so many games. Teams would come into the 3rd qtr down 15 pts and the Spurs would just put them away.
Fine video but any highlight video of the Ice Man is incomplete if it doesn't include his ABA days.
"He goes the distance and blows it. Rebound to Gervin, he won't blow it."
In today's game that would have been a $50,000 fine, a two week Network suspension, and 3 free throws for Harden. 😭
On all of his layups he’s not even jumping high he just has that perfect touch FINGER ROLL
My top 3 basketball players is George "Ice man" Gervin, Larry B & Paul Pierce
Gervin is too underrated. Him and David Robinson are probably the most underrated in nba history
Dr is not that great
@@johnathanali3075 lol
David Robinson was a great player, but he got dominated by both Arvidas Sabonis and Hakeem Olajuwon, which definitely hurts his all-time rating.
Couple suggestions: Marques Johnson, Sidney Moncrief, Walter Davis. I know Johnson and Davis would be tough but Moncrief could be done!
Dedrick McConnell Sidney Moncrief? Wow, talk about a forgotten man and unjustly so. I'm very surprised he's still not in the HOF.
I could watch Iceman highlights all day...he's one of the few legends I think I would enjoy meeting in person, along with Wilt. Love those colorful monikers...Doctor, Ice, Skywalker, Pistol...70s NBA is so underrated
the most underated scorer.. i like watching his highlights' more than others and im young..so smooth...so effortless..THE ICEY ICE MAN
How in the hell was he a underrated scorer when he led the league in scoring various times during his career also hall of famer and why do folks use the word underrated on RUclips so darn much
Such a beauty to watch him drive to the basket. So smooth and so talented.
Gervin could score 40 on any given night and he could do it in todays NBA
One of my favorite players all-time. One of the greatest to ever come out of Detroit. He terrorized the DPS league when I was growing up. Notice on these highlights he's always torching the Lakers? LOL.
Was there any way this guy couldn't score? He made buckets like nothing, both hands, layups, dunks, floaters before they were called floaters, jumpers, from anywhere on the court... to my mind the most unstopable scoring machine in terms of infinite ways of making a bucket, improvisation and creativity, alongside Jordan and Maravich
It was hard to defend against him, he was so smooth. He was a great scorer.
THE GREATEST PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY!!!!!!!!!
These were the Spurs most exciting teams. Run and Gun
I shook his hand tonight at the Pearl in San Antonio. Be cool Ice!!
3:42 Gervin dunks on Dawkins and C.Jones, 2 7-footers (Dawk was 6’11 close enough lol). I don’t think I’ve seen that before by anyone!
Seen him power dunk on Kareem. It was quick and sudden. Kareem just watched.
In professional basketball 🏀 whether it's NBA, Drew leagues or overseas I am heavily influence and have the desire to be George Gervin when the opportunity presence itself for me to play professional basketball the only film i will study is George Gervin.
If you want to be like Ice, stay in the gym. Gervin stayed in the gym. All those shots you see Ice making, he shots those shots 1000s of time.
Nice 'n' EASY. Pretty much UNSTOPPABLE. And he only weighed about four pounds.
From the neck down I'm Ice from the neck up I'm James Silas and my hair on my head is white like Bob Bass
The Great Rudini you are a smart man, Kobe NEVER shot 50% in a season in 20 years and George shot 51% as an average.
Can you imagine, just IMAGINE, had he played in N.Y. or L.A! My goodness, he would have been even bigger. Not his talent, but his exposure.
I'm from the new York/new jersey area and ice would have been a long around here
King
Derrick Gervin all his shots were 2 inches away from the hoop
Wow all layups 😂😂😂
Notice how the commentators constantly claim he travels...lol
Under the basket, sky hook, dunk, off the dribble, catch and shoot off of scattered picks, finger roll, three point shot, pull up on the fast break- this man could flat out score.
I'm born and raised in New York city I first saw Ice at the Nassau coliseum February 1973 when he played for the Virginia Squires I'm 63 years old and one of the main reasons I never went to jail is to I was t busy
Playing like Ice 🧊 and it's ironic because I look like James Silas and one of my grandsons look like Ice and I was at the Hall of Fame when Ice was inducted to thank him for helping guide me in my life time
The best way to explain Gerorge Gervin is that he was the “Michael Jordan” before Joran hit the league. When he was on you had no chance 1 on 1 so teams would have to double down on him (and many times he’d beat that)! He was one smooth mother with his shot….often making ghe impossible possible. One of my favorites all time (and I’m a Celtics fan from Massachusetts). Like Orr in hockey, when he came to town you didn’t want to miss the game for he’d often do something you never saw before. He really was one of the best!!!
Ice beat the dbl down every night. Pat Riley introduced the triple down at key moments to slow Gervin down. I would say the triple down and Norm Nixion hurt the Spurs most during those Lakers/Spurs playoff series in the early 80s. Even with all the HoFers the Lakers had during the period, the Spurs pretty much handled them. McAdoo, off the bench was a problem as well.
Everyone was Jordan before Jordan lmao. Dr.J, Eligin Baylor, Connie Hawkins, David Thompson, now George I've heard it all blah blah blah blah
@@catcountry0099 , Jordan, an above average talent who tutored under superior ball players then dominated 2 younger generations of boys, with no father at home, hoping to eat corn flakes like Mike one day. A brand guy who made a lot of brand money and commercial endorsements. Just another guy in the room amongst the Legends.
The Legends didn't need Nike to become a Star.

this man so good i thought i was watching the future
George Garvin handled the basket-ball like it was a yo-yo on a string.no one can ever do this again.jan2022.
When basketball was basketball
Man could he drive the lane like nobody's business! Great days at Hemisphere Arena.
He is one of the most underrated players of all time
Yep
How many times was he an all star? How many scoring titles did he have? Maybe he wasn't an NBA champion but he had an hall of fame career how is that underrated ? I swear some folks use that word in the wrong context it's an insult to his career I'm quite he wouldn't like u saying he was underrated
Also hes a hall of famer and was voted one of the fifty best players of all time how is that underrated? Underrated is when ur good at something and don't get recognized for it or receive any accolades this is not the case
@@anthonytaylor7928 He's underrated in the context that his amazing accomplishments, and even his identity aren't known by as many casual basketball fans as they should be.
70s basketball is lost in time...
One of the smoothest if not the smoothest players. That finger role is as unique as Kareems skyhook. That wrist control and knack for scoring was incredible.
damn the 80s had some severely underrated stars outshined by bird and magic. dominique wilkins, george gervin, james worthy just to name a few.
Gervin and dr. J were aba stars in the 70s then turned nba stars when they became part of the nba in the late 70s. They were still stars in the early to mid 80s.
It's not that they were outshined by those guys, it's just those guys were the young studs that came up in the 80s where as Gervin and Erving were the older guys in the 80s.
None of the players u said were underrated all are Hall of famers and we'll known these underrated comments are soo frickin stupid
Gervin was not outshined by either Magic or Bird. During the period, Magic and Bird received more league and endorsement visibility and played in larger TV markets. On the court, Gervin was winning 4 scoring titles. Neither Magic or Bird could guard Gervin. He put lots of buckets on both.
Born in 99 but this my favorite old school player I found out about him while using the 80s spurs on 2k15 his jumpshot was wet af 😂
George Gervin's finger roll was almost as unstoppable as Kareem's sky hook. Also, what needs to be mentioned is that George Gervin was a master of shooting the ball off the backboard or what they use to call the "bank shot". So essentially he had two weapons, the bank shot and the finger roll. At 6 ft 8 inches tall but weighing during his playing days 190 - 200 pounds soak and wet, Gervin played the shooting guard position and was, by the standards of that time, a big shooting guard. His jump shot form was flicked but he would make his jump shots in spite of his terrible form. I believe most of the shots he took were the finger rolls (probably at least 50 percent). I am almost certain of that because that finger roll was unstoppable. I was a kid when Gervin played in the NBA back in the late 70's and early 80's and I collected football and basketball cards back then. I had Gervin's basketball card; his stats were off the charts. Gervin was a superstar and was one of the NBA's leading scorers damn near every year he played. By the way, why aren't ball players of today trying to master the sky hook and the finger roll?
Cuz a finger roll isn’t unstoppable anymore COMMON SENSE clearly he was just a superior athlete in that era everybody’s standing behind the free throw line teams guard 3 pointers now😂😂
@@mr.anderson1562 So basically what you're telling me genius is that guy's taking three point shot is the perfect defense for the finger roll. Logic is taught at some colleges.
jesusneverexisted300 you sound dumb how tf is taking a 3 gon help on defense ? I said all the defenders are behind the free throw line so gervin always gets a running start into his layups/finger roll common sense let’s u know that it wouldn’t work today cuz players today guard you from 3 in which case you wouldn’t get a running start into your layup unless you do an actual move & Shake the defense up gervin doesn’t even do moves or hit 3s he just straight line drives, or put backs & an occasional jump shot
man those finger rolls are a thing of beauty.
This is so much fun to watch. Thank You Pokey Candy!
I always love watching Ice Man play. He was so smooth.
These mfs make Austin Rivers look like Allen Iverson😂😂
Let me be perfectly clear. The Ice Man would avg FORTY today!
In what league ? Cba?🤣 kd and curry aren’t averaging 40 he’s not either 😜
@@Discipleofthelordandjesus Lil homie, the NBA was a different league back then. You can't get a feel for something you don't know.
daddybars no left hands on this video, all my family uses the right and left hands. ASK KAREEM JABBAR!!!!
Derrick Gervin your brother was better than Dr. J. I get into fights arguing this. All the Dr J people have is that he has a ring... But that ring belongs more to Moses Malone and Andrew Toney. Anyway you had a killah game. I remember you too. NBA really didn't understand yall's game. Both of y'all came too early, about 20 years to early. Michael Ray Richardson summed it up nice. George could not be stopped. Also, ICE is one of few that played then that would be a Superstar today. He might even be better in today's game because of no hand checking rule. Peace to you Derrick, and (Gee Should have made it in the NBA).
P.S Dr. J couldn't play in today's game.
ice could not only use both hands he could probably kick the ball in the basket
Lol
No one did that scoring thing better!! You knew Michael was scoring, you knew wilt was scoring, but ICE. He had 40 quietly!!
I do not care what anybody says.... Gervin was more talented and Better than Doctor J.
Yahnamore Zebulun I said the same. It's just that Dr J was more advertising-friendly for sponsors. That's how it works.
@@senecanicholson1090 I been getting into arguments about Ice and Dr J for 20 plus years. But you are the first to make sense out of this lopsided discussion. You are correct Seneca. But to all who reads this "Let this be known" Gervin is one of few that could play in todays NBA. In fact ICE would be a even bigger star. Dr J did not have enough skill to play in todays NBA.
Yahnamore Zebulun, Dr J on record. He agrees. They were and are best friends.
@@yahnamore I disagree about Dr J, who like all the players of earlier eras did not have the benefit of learning from generations before him. Pre-Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, he patterned himself on Connie Hawkins and Elgin Baylor. He'd have better ballhandling skills in today's game IMO. He'd be a longer, more explosive Kawai Leonard though I don't see him as much of a three-point shooter. His defense and rebounding were amazing.
@@williammorrison6311 respect to you William. But how about giving credit where credit is due. Gervin had skills of a guard when no other 6'8 guy did. He was years before his time. Your assumption Hypothetical "WE DONT KNOW" if Doctor J could even acquire ball handling skills, that's a gift. The eye test speaks volumes, Gervins game was a generation beyond Docs.
yo! pep game,I did not realize George Garvin was this cool. looking at these highlights. he was Good very good.I've heard of him, but never really got into him. he could score on anyone. his game is or was, very nice!
One of the greatest scorers of all time alongside David Thompson who's also pretty forgotten.
FINGER ROLL!!!! !!!!
