The elegance, the ability to float and hang. The sharp shooter . He was Poetry. Thanks for this one, BTM

Saw Gervin go for over 50 against the Lakers and he never took the same shot or made the same move twice!

Gervin was a badass for sure

That finger roll tho!

When MJ speaks you know Gervin was underrated

There was Never anyone like the Great Ice Man, George Gervin. No One.

Man, he was smooth, and deadly from deep

One of the most underrated players ever!

The finger rolls of Gervin and Drexler were insane

ONE of a kind, Ice🏀

One of the greatest scoring days in basketball history was David Thompson versus George Gervin for the NBA scoring title

George Gervin definitely a top 10 player

Very elegant and lethal scorer.

George Iceman Gervin greatest Spurs ever my favorite player

As we used to say them finger rolls were just absolutely nasty.

At times, "Ice" was UNSTOPPABLE!!

Thanks for this clip. One of the greats that’s often overlooked under appreciated and not spoken of enough

Very underrated! Along with Alex English!

Best nickname ever!

He was so much fun to watch…. One of the GOATS…. Ice Man!!!! He was deadly cold!!!

I had the opportunity to watch him in person when he was in High School. They’re all from the neighborhood and we know them all. We support them.

I had that bada*s ICEMAN poster on my wall back in '82. The one with him palming the two ice basketballs. Before MJ, Gervin was the Man!

Lucky to be a San Antonio native and graced with the Ice Man’s presence.

I am 58 yrs old. I grew up watching the best era in the history of the NBA. This man was a huge part of it, MR. GEORGE"THE ICEMAN"GERVIN!!!❤

One of the players I truly miss. We would do try to do the finger roll like him in the school yard all the time..

Im 57 and from Detroit where Gervin is from as well. My jr high math teacher was an old coach of Ice. 1 summer he took the whole class to see Ice play in a closed gym game against some pros and streetball legends of Detroit. Mannnn Ice put on a show! Usually in games like this the small guards show out. But Ice is 6'7 and put on a million moves. Dunks, sweet ass reverse layups, pump fake shots, finger rolls from anywhere, turn around jumpers etc...

The Iceman had a feel for the game and touch that was truly special. Great video!

A different breed of man .

People talk about how the league was hanging on by a thread before Magic and Larry; well....The Iceman (along with Dr J) was that thread. Absolute LEGEND! 🙌🏻

One of the many names we called out growing up playing basketball .

I remember when Ice and David Thompson had a race for the scoring title Thompson scored like 70 points and later that night Ice scored like 65 to win the title /

Kudos to you for finding our Spurs ABA guy. So much fun to watch here in the 70s. Ask him and Robert Parrish what they think of Michael Jordan.

High praise from Jerry West

Dr. J keeps it smooth no matter what age. That guy is amazing!

Greatness flowed from him

Growing up in San Antonio in the 80s, the Iceman was IT! My hero, watching him play is like art, jazz, a thing of beauty. Coolest, smoothest man in basketball.

I SAW HIM LIVE..MY US ARMY DAYS…EARLY 70 S…SAN ANTONIO TEXAS…AWESOME SMOOTH SILKY SMOOTH PLAYING….I WAS 19…NOW 68 STILL REMEMBER THIS TIME…

I vividly recall George Gervin when he played for the Virginia Squires. But he was unstoppable when he was in his prime with San Antonio. My two favorite teams at that time were the Lakers and Washington Bullets. He destroyed them! I thought, is this guy ever gonna miss? Even when he missed, he barely missed! Love me some Ice Man Gervin! What a tremendous player!

He was incredible. He even is even a member of the X Men and flew with Maverick in Top Gun. Legend. Thanks SD.

the original ICE man

I got to see George Gervin in Atlanta vs the Hawks! Probably one of the smoothest players I’ve seen on the courts! The finger roll is & was legendary! No one has done it better!

Kids have no concept of how unique and effortlessly smooth the Iceman was. One of a kind, never to be duplicated.

I saw Gervin play against the Mavs in the 1980s. There is only one Iceman!

Wow! I never saw his highlights. Looked him up 👀👀 Led league in scoring 4 years with nice shooting % 🎉🎉

"Ice" Nike poster was on my wall as a youth. He was an amazing scorer and so smooth. I remember George girvin and David Thompson going to the last game for the scoring title and they both lit it up. That is a long gone day for the league, unfortunately.

Finally, my Uncle used to say ( The Ice Man was the best player in the NBA.) He diffently one of the best shooters in NBA history.

My dad and uncle took their younger brother my younger brother and me to see the Virginia Squires regularly. The Iceman was special!

Excellent video! Thanks for reminding us about the great George "Iceman" Gervin.

This was badass I really liked this video, thanks!

Minus the finger roll, Victor Wembanyama's game reminds you of George Gervin.

Magic said Iceman was the best pickup basketball player who ever lived

Ice, Dr. J, and Larry Kenon was all that back then with the Virgina Squires. Many people didn't know that these 3 ABA Greats played on the same team.

Thank You for a great video! You helped me relive my young teenage years yelling "finger roll off the glass!" in the school yard.

School is in session. Time to learn more about another Legend from the past.

Great video!❤

Thanks for doing GG!!! The Bulls were my lifelong team (from the outer Chicago area) and the Spurs were my "West" team beginning in 1990 when The Admiral was drafted. GG is one of those 'forgotten' players. Shawn (sp), inlight of Brunson's new NYN playoff game scoring record, maybe we can get a Bernard King episode, or maybe Oscar Robertson (he was a BAAAD Man) or Dr. J, another 'forgotten' juggernaut. For those who never saw Dr. J, he was smooth, cool, and strong/showtime on the court, like 'Coffee Black' from 'Semi-Pro', but too cool to be goofy. Keep up the great work!

This man is like DEADSHOT bro. Sean....keep this heat coming. Beautiful peace on the Iceman bro...content stay 🔥 my gus🤌🏾👌🏾🤙🏾

Growing up watching late night basketball I have to favorite players, Dr. J. and the Iceman. I spent so many nights watching the late games. Great memories.

He 🥶

My man, Travis Grant of Kentucky State University, hung 69 on Ice in college. He inducted Travis into the College Basketball HOF and told the story.

One of the few mythical magical players in NBA history. It's almost like it never really happened. His style was way too effortless to be real.

Show Bob Love!! Mic'2024 😊!!

Yes Indeed . Was Bless to see him play.

Yeah I love going back watching him play on here. I didn’t grow up with him. He had already retired years before I began watching basketball but the first time I saw his clips I was amazed with how smooth he was. He wasn’t fast nor was he slow he was like water just moving freely through rocks, stones and boulders and he shot the ball so gracefully with ease. It was like the ball to the basket was like an extension of his body. Definitely one of my favorite players.

Super video! What a player! I just subscribed. Your channel is fun!

Glad to see he's still alive. They were talking about him in the past tense.

Sean I have been listening to you for years, I have really enjoyed every video you have produced, and today I realized I was not subscribed...forgive me..!! I should have subscribed 5 or 6 years ago... I ask God to bless and protect you and your family and of course your channel... thankyou for being so good at what you do...

George Gervin was DEFINITELY a once-in-a-lifetime, one-of-a-kind player!!! I’m a diehard Boston Celtics fan and the first poster I’d get if they still made it wouldn’t be of Bob Cousy or Bill Russell or John Havlicek or Dave Cowens or Larry Bird or Kevin McHale or Robert Parish. It would be of the “Iceman” sitting all in white on that block of ice dribbling those two white basketball. You wanna talk cool? You don’t ge no cooler than “Ice!"

Thank you Mr. David. I saw George Gervin play in Rome Italy against Banco di Roma in the early 80's. It was the end of his career but it was still great to see him. He was still very imaginative. All the other players clearly revered him. The Roman crowds seemed pleased and excited. I grew up on the streets of New York and I remember starting to shoot the finger roll, like the big kids and young men who played in tournaments. I played in The Rucker Tournament three summers with three different teams.

Love the iceman.

That "FINGER ROLL" was so good it was ridiculous and did it dam near anywhere on the court.. George "ICEMAN" Gervin #44... (LEGEND)

Watch him play against my Lakers and would be on the edge of my seat the whole time back in the day. He was the truth and for sure should be in MANY of these greatest ever conversations thats for sure.

Gervin had style and finesse for sure. He let the game come to him then pick it all apart. Smooth moves 👍🏾

This video got a like EVEN before I watched it, for the INTRO alone!!!!! **OLD SKOOL** music, players doing their thing, that STARKS DUNK that I have on VHS (or did have...) love these videos

I was blessed to see the Ice Man play and see he was even better than people say he absolutely was unguardable i saw him dismantle my Lakers...hats off to one of the greatest basketball player I've ever seen...

The Iceman is better than anybody playing now he was unbelievable

Hearing my brother and brother in law ( Bubbles Hawkins R.I.P) get mentioned is an indescribable feeling!!!

Truthfully I never wattched George Geriving but I heard on his talents and skill through NBA talk show. He was so smooth moving and shooting very different from another superstars, his fingers roll was amazing

Growing up in Denver during the 70's, I saw ABA era George Gervin many times. If he played today, he would have developed a more reliable 3 point shot and simply excelled in today's game. Gervin was such a fluid scorer that he'd probably average 35-40 ppg. Gervin's game was tailor made for today's NBA.

4 time scoring champ

Met Him in Person, Friendly and Classy Guy-full of Life. I'm Glad, He was a Spurs player.

Thank you The Ice Man one of the most overlooked players that played. A long with Jamal Wilkes both overlooked and the least talked about. Finally no whose the goat conversation. The acknowledgement of greatness and also Hall of Famers.

I got to be his ball boy in Tulsa when he was training to make his comeback. Unfortunately he got injured. He was training with Otis Birdsong, Henry Bibby, and Wes Matthews senior. Really cool experience as a kid.

Saw him play 1978 or 79. He was huge and had an incredible wing span. One of the greatest

That finger roll was so unique that no one has been able to duplicate it into a signature shot yet❤

Went to a bar in the San Antonio airport called Gervins. Many folks had no idea who he was even with his posters all over. The lady who runs it saw I ‘knew so she came over and told me she got him to sign 2 basketballs for auction. The first one sold for $25. She took the other off the auction.

Am glad I had the pleasure to enjoy his career as a kid and teenager 🏀🏀

I had that poster too as a kid!

If the dude played in New York, Boston, LA....his name would be on everyone's lips as one of the greatest scoring guards ever, not just those of us who saw him and play and those younger fans who know their NBA history. Scored about as easily as you and I breathe!

One of the Greatest every he was really unreal 🏀🙏🏾

Smooth

WOW! Most likely, he is one of Michael Jordan's inspiration! I just learned about him now. OMG, he is really good!

From 8th grade thru highschool, I idolized the Iceman! Watching #44 was like watching him in slowmo. THen in 85' when I graduated I saw a special player enter the league from North Carolina and I was like "UH OH" This when everyone was all about Dominic Wilkins

Before his time for sure🙏

I remember seeing Ice when I was a kid. He would come out in his shooting shirt/warm up with the word “ICE” on the back. Not his last name like his teammates but, “ICE”. He would get the quietest 50 points I ever saw.

One of the greatest ever a goat
