Neuf fois All-Star, quatre fois meilleur marqueur de la ligue, George Gervin avait un incroyable talent offensif et semblait flotter sur le terrain et marquer sans difficulté, ni émotion. D’où son surnom de « Iceman«. Souvent comparé à Kevin Durant pour sa facilité et ses longs segments, il n’a malheureusement jamais remporté de titre et a quitté la NBA en 1986, après une dernière campagne chez les Bulls. Ensuite, il a joué en Europe avant de devenir accro à la drogue et de devoir faire plusieurs passages en cure de désintoxication.

Velvety smooth in every aspect, whether in speech, movement, or scoring prowess on the game’s largest stage, George “Iceman” Gervin effortlessly gave the world “cool” without really trying to “Fonzie” up the package. Gervin captured four scoring titles and helped build the foundation for San Antonio’s reputation for winning around the NBA. But Gervin didn’t invent the finger roll, his trademark shot that’s widely synonymous with the former Spurs star. Nope, Gervin admits to imitating former teammate Julius “Dr. J” Erving as well as Connie Hawkins and Wilt Chamberlain to develop his own unique finger roll, which captivated audiences and simultaneously frustrated opponents stretching high to block the trademark shot. When players such as Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West exited the game, it was Gervin who was in the vanguard of the NBA’s next batch of superstars. There’s a reason West once told reporters in 1982 that Gervin was “the one player I would pay to see.”
