Don't get hurt patting yourself on the back there for all the incredible things that you have "witnessed". 😂 If that's all I had accomplished up to age 64 I'd be extremely disappointed in myself.

@@BD-uw1kqyou will be 🤣

@@BD-uw1kqwhat is wrong with you

@@RetroNBA42 exactly what I was thinking. Sounds like a young person who really hasn’t learned how to act yet?

He played at King High School and went to Eastern Michigan University for college.

@@ronniepratt8710 The school wasn't called King when Ice went there; King was still alive.

Ice was nice!

@@coolmod7731 But he never won anything.

@@1994g0 It's not his fault he never won a ring. Winning a chip all depends on the other teams and how they are constructed in the league at a particular time. That's like Michael Jordan never won a ring in the 1980's because of the Lakers, Celtics, Sixers, Pistons etc... All those teams were dynasties at the time and his Bulls team couldn't compete with those juggernaut teams. That's like Barry Sanders who played football, he never won a ring, but you can't sit up here and say he's not an all time NFL great or considered as arguably the best running back ever because he is. Actually, I would take Barry Sanders over Emmitt Smith (who has three rings) and day of the week! Those Cowboys teams of the 90's had way better players and talent than those Detroit Lions teams Barry played on but that's not his fault. It's really not the actual player himself, but that players team, and how they're built and the competition of the league along with other teams during that era. That ultimately dictates the outcome of a player winning a championship.

@@coolmod7731 But Gervin did not win a championship in college, high school or the Pro leagues. The Ice Man, while a great scorer, just was not a championship player. That excludes him from the All Time Greats circle.

I`m from the east Side of Detroit.I watched George Gervin play from age 15 until he retired. He was a nice person and a great hooper.But he was not so great that he carried his teams to victory in High School like Reggie Harding or Spencer Haywood did.

Lol, he was on contenders. Unfortunately, he and the Spurs just ran into some really good teams, but George made a bunch of conference semis and finals.

@@chocolatetownforever7537 Gervin never made a Championship finals in ABA or NBA. The Spurs in the 70s were ok, but not deep enough to contend

@@douglasbell8408 Contender doesnt just mean a finals appearance, dude lol, and in he was on a very good team in the early 80s as well. NON contenders are teams that are bad to average teams. Its just silly to say a team that makes the final four of either pro or college basketball, ISNT a contender. All im saying.

@@chocolatetownforever7537 Doug Moe's Spurs...41-41 in 79.. Gervin's the only hall of famer on the team

@@douglasbell8408 Thats ONE year lol, so what are you talking about? Im not going back and forth with you, because you obviously will keep arguing your point, regardless of reality or reason. The Spurs made it to the conference semis two times with Gervin. The made the conference finals three times with Gervin. To say he was never on a contender, as you stated in your ORIGINAL post, is just assinine, and incorrect. Have a great day, Douglas. If it makes you feel better, and stop replying with incorrect logic then YOU WIN lol. I dont know what else to tell you.

True facts right here. Walton got 40% of the vote to Gervins 33%. Walton hadn't played enough games to even be on the leaderboards for stats. He WAS playing at a level deserving of it, while also coming in 2nd the year before to Kareem. I think it was an MVP award given for the prior seasons playoffs and the ~60 games he played that year. I don't think Walton deserved it due to missing so many games.

@@edwells4769, ironically, that may have been Walton's best season. Gervin went on to have several more successful years. However, that 77-78 year was an extremely strong year for Gervin. At 33% of the MVP votes, there were many others who thought Gervin was the MVP during that 77-78 year........the year the Iceman cometh. Gervin, Doc & Mo Malone were the 3 ABA players who came in an took the NBA by storm.
