It’s quite refreshing to see players not rush to the 3 point line.
Also refreshing to see players allowed to wear personal necklaces.
It's also quite refreshing to see players not covered in tramp stamps (tattoos) like they are today. No pink shoes, all colors are team colors! 🙂
When I first got into the game I loved watching these two on NBA tv they were the coolest old school players of their day.
I watched all of these games on CBS as a youngster.
Dr. J and the Iceman. Two of the best ever.
No
@@lukazebeljan8914 ...Yes!
dont forget Doug Collins, Darryl Dawkins, Bobby Jones and Caldwel Jones!
Yeah but how was the best between the two?
Gervin hardly ranks with the "best ever."
The Ice Man versus Dr. J! NBA vintage at its finest. Interestingly, both players were teammates with the ABA's Virginia basketball team in 1972'73 season.
DR. J was Ice Man's mentor when they played in Virginia
So cool..DR.J was my idle and Ice Man added to this Legend..great stuff..
Dr J and the Iceman would play 1 on 1 after practice was over.... Dr J took him under his wing
These Brothers were show stoppers the Money was worth it🏀🏀Top players ever👍🏀
I've got this entire game on VHS videotape. The recorder I used to make it was the size of a large piece of luggage & cost a whopping $721 when I bought it! I was 17 yrs old at the time & a senior in high school. Speak about bringing back some memories...
A Beta was a little cheaper 🤣. You must have bought that thing when they first came out. I had to wait til like 1982 when the price went down
2 of the smoothes cats to ever lace up
Gervin was fascinating. At the height of 6'8, he was something like 190 pounds and yet he played like a much larger man. With his frame you would expect him to rely far more on quickness like a Reggie Miller or a Rip Hamilton. Yet he was very Durant/ Kobe like in terms of where he caught the ball and how he got off his shot... fascinating.
norrisb1981 Imagine if Ice had played in a major market like Dr J. Erving was a known commodity having played in NY in ABA. Gervin was unsung and would have been HUGE in a media market.
when did Reggie miller beat anyone off the dribble, hardly ever, iceman had the entire package. he had a nice sweet jumpshot.he wasn't fast but had a quick first step. Dr j got alot of attention for being a high flyer with no jump shot. ice man was better and here he shows it.
Iceman was better than Erving only if you don't understand anything about basketball.......
@@kevinaraujo4945 Ice was a one of the very best pure scorers AND shooters ever. Erving was a decent defender who had a respectable mid range bank shot, though not a great shooter. Each was a killer on the break.
@@kevinaraujo4945 Dr J had a very very good mid range jumper. Look at his career f/g. Not possible in that era to just dunk and drive
See how it was a gentleman's sport back then. handshakes all around, before they go to war.
They still do that today. Greetings changed a bit, but it’s not like there is zero sportsmanship.
80's were the favorite time period of the earth
I'm lookin at the sneaks Converse All Stars(Dr Js) Nike Blazers Adidas Pro Model superstars and Ponys. I had em all in high school...
Much Gratitude
Much Appreciation.
i LOVED BACK IN THE DAY! sEE THE HATS AND PIPES!
Damn I am old I was at that game 🤗 #ladybirdwasinthehouse at in SA when the famous Riverwalk was 2 blocks long😘
I wss actually at this game as well. Just got of boot camp and one of the perks was servicemen wete given some free tickets to attend.
@@andreford3197 Thanks for your service sir!!🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
Bobby Jones just elected to HOF. One of the best 6th men and role players ever. You can tell he deserved it by just watching him in these highlights.
Top 5 defensive players all time as eell.
Bobby Jones was hardly a "role player."
This was the LAST year you could wear necklaces... CLASSIC!!! Darryl Dawkins has on a ton on for this game...
I forgot Chuck Daly was an assistant coach for the Sixers.
Back when the NBA was fun to watch
Damnn. You old
but Right.
I thank God I grew up when these blood & guts guys played. They loved the game these guys woulda played for free. Magic said it in his prime he would play in the NBA for free. These spoiled soft dudes we have in the league now most are pathetic and act like divas...
I agree 100%. I watch old games for fun instead. Game was more flowing, more beautiful then especially the Showtime era. Now it seems so scripted

Ice was the greatest offensive player in Spur history. I'm sorry the team didn't win any championships back then.
Yes, the most beautiful basketball player ever. Just elegant. Art on the hardwood court.
One thing he could do was finger-tip roll. Lol
And maybe, maybe score in a variety of ways like no other. Perhaps Jordan and Baylor are close. Maybe Bird, not many others.

Bill Russell commentated #goat
People forget Gerving and Erving were teammates AT same time with Virginia squires in ABA
Joey Crawford out there damn he's old
RIP Sandy Grossman: 4/2/14.
This is the final season of the Spurs in the Eastern Conference.
Check out Mike Bibby’s Dad running the point for the Sixers. Not to mention, Doug Collins coming off the bench.
They both started the year before. Cheeks took over for Henry Bibby. Doug Collins was like Anthony Davis. The number 1 overall pick in the draft. Stayed hurt. This was his last full season
this is 4-5 years before the goat arrives..
great highlights
3:53 DrJ clears out of a Gervin dunk...didn’t want to get posterized. How would that have looked???
George Gervin would stay after high school and help the janitor do his work, so he could shoot till midnight.
Paid off!
Back in the day the 76ers had the best one on one basketball player of his day - yet he was able to play a team concept of picking, rolling, and moving w/o the basketball or going into the pivot and getting position. the passing from player to player was quick, decisive, and on time.
I predict tonight (Monday Nov 17, 2014) the Spurs will score 134 points and the tanking 76ers might score 80
Gervin was like that as well as Adrian Dantley. They score off the dribble and move without the ball off picks/screens.
If Spurs had gotten A-Train in 78 or so, they would have been legit. Had no defense at this time.
James Silas was really the biggest star
Iceman needed help in 1980. The only one doing anything for the Spurs then.
The 76 merger restricted the Spurs from drafting players till the 1979 draft and making limited deals due to indemnity checks to the NBA. James Silas knees went out before the merger and had only good year. So, when Doug Moe became coach, he put less time on practice and defense due to these limitations and used George for matchup exploitation. I believe those circumstances helped George as a player from 76-79 because he could display his game. But by 79, I believe those circumstances contributed to his drug use. Things got better when The Spurs were able to draft and Stan Albeck became coach. But those three years shortened his career because they couldn't develop younger players like today's Spurs can. Give George the younger players that Steph Curry has? To me, the merger really happened after the 1979 season due to the restrictions and George was the last ABA superstar.
Yes, they were smoking pipes at HemisFair. Every game was a smoke house in those days. I saw Dr. J play the Spurs in 1984. Smokers all over the place.
I know the guy that used to grow the smoke for George Gervin and James Silas.
I find it hard to believe that "The Iceman" had 11 rebounds.
9:24 - Phil Donahue was a coach!
Doug Collins rulez!!!
DR.J was far more smoother than Micheal Jordan.because the moves that Jordan did came from Julius Earvin
I remember watching this game at not yet 10 yrs old. CBS for the NBA and NBC for college basketball. And ESPN also had some NBA back then.
Wow. The team regional realignment. Spurs to the West. Chicago and Milwaukee to the East announced during this game.
Houston also went to the west and Detroit went to the east. They did that bc Dallas was coming into the league by itself the next season. It was supposed to be Dallas and Minnesota in 1980-81. Forgot what happened to Minnesota but they came in the league with Orlando in 1989
Great
Boy, that cameraman is just STALKING that woman at 0: 13: 27.
#creeperalert
Smoove as ice
I think the Lakers won the title that year.
21:39 Bill Russell lmao
I don't understand how they compare back then with todays basketball)the game have turn into water down showmanship three's entertainment.
ske
Ice Man!!
This even has a late 20s Joe Crawford refereeing!
At 3:55 the iceman give and go and finished it off with a dunk
That dunk reminds me a lot of Kevin Durant.
@@lukazebeljan8914 As I get older, the more I appreciate George Gervin's greatness.
Both legends and MUCH LOVE to Ice....one of the top underrated players in NBA history. Shout out to Bobby Jones who along with Havlicek set the standard for the 6th man.
I loved Bobby Jones, but no sixth man EVER was on the level of John Havlicek. The closest was Michael Cooper.
Pirouette 😄only the Doc did those moves like ballad
j stine ...*ballet.
Thats DEFENSE
The first MJ and the first KD.
Stop it.
Q: Is this supposed to be the first season in the NBA with the 3-point line? 1979-80? Sorry, I almost forgot: The Hemisfair Arena: still marked with ABA 3-point lines. Awesome!
Yes, as the title says.
Though Jordan emulated from Dr J and Gervin, he still moved differently in terms of finesse and artistry.
Jordan more herky jerky. Doc fluid.
Gervin let himself go through the years
Phil Donahue coached in the NBA?
Ice and Artis never could get to the finals so they are forgotten.
Bwhahahaaha..."He looks like Phil Donahue"
Holly Crap!!!!....Two NBA Eastern Conference teams with the top two records in the league. What a mental mind screw. In todays game it's an anomaly to have an east team among the top 5 overall records in the league, unless you're the Cleveland Cavs.
Am I the only one who noticed how Philly coach Cunningham whistled every time his team scored a basket? I found that to be VERY irritating.
Contrary to belief they were the closest of friends earlier in their career while in the ABA they would play 1on 1 with each other way after practice or game was over.
Damn, this is a different basketball, i like this, back when NBA didn't have bullshit rules. Anyway, i would love to watch these players against nowadays ones, it feels like nowadays ones would win
Rodrigo N. These guys would kill today's players.
BS
Bill thought Brent was talking about the sleeves of the jersey. Not that long. Yeah jersey sleeves are not that long all right
Lol
The Sixer's will win this. The doctor can play street ball, but the Sixer's had a good team this year.. and it was heavy against Boston all year.
The old games were much more fun contrast despite a horrible back condition Larry Bird would kill to play all the time Michael Jordan would play with a collasped lung whil LeBron aka LeBitch James needs 3 weeks off after 1 game
great defense from both teams.....
Kirk Jackson 134-118 is NOT good D!!
@@raypratt3611 no just two good offensive teams. The players back then could score, not like the player today that can't hit a jump shots. Just lucky ass 3 pointer on a good nite.
like the LeBron vs Kawhi of their time....
Without the drama
You'll need some Grenadine for a Sunrise.
Would you prefer a Salty Dog?
I don't care for Gin. Absolute Citron or Grey Goose will be fine. Make it a Screwdriver in a tall glass, please.
The lady will have a Stoly Cosmopolitan Martini, shaken & chilled, please.
Jack, Jim, Maker's Mark, or Weller on the rocks, with a soda and lime chaser, if you got it.
Top Shelf Margarita, hold the salt. Patron or 1800 would be great.
Thanks.
Love.
Remember the 92 WC?
RELLIM REEB! 👽👾
lol.
LMFAO.
I saw Dawkins with a gold chain and a few others, nowadays does the NBA let the players wear jewelry?
No
Nah they stopped in the mid 80s.
It would be kind of cool if they still can wear jewellery.
Iceman > Dr. J
