Ice is still my favorite all time player. 1h 11m? You must have found every Gervin highlight ever.

[@70sfan]

I tried my best, though I have found more Gervin highlights since I created this video.

[@Flametree1492]

There is no one, not ever, back then or now that could shoot the ball like ice! Layups from 10 or 15 feet out and with either hand, effortlessly, he was grace in motion truly one of a kind!

[@lamontgconley694]

Although he could hit "nothing but net" (anytime he wanted) Gervin's use of the backboard is an aspect to his game that young players should take notes on.

[@russelturner5771]

The bank shot..a lost 🎨. Such an easy shot to master & always reliable.

[@PATMMINC]

He made the game look so easy

[@russelturner5771]

The 😎 to ever grace the hardwood along with the "Dr"

[@robcollins5101]

Ice was AWESOME, scores with ease, dunked it with the best…..and he put the finger in finger role. Basically Unstoppable …….thanks Ice

[@peat381low8]

Over 50%FG from a 2 guard. He laid the foundation for the small market. Ice Man is the man here in San Antonio. He is surely the greatest scorer of San Antonio.

[@70sfan]

It's true, he was their best player until they drafted Admiral. Still 3rd best Spurs player ever.

[@citizenscapital2458]

Finally, full representative work. 10 years old and a fan in 1973 when the Dallas Chaparrals came to San Antonio then changed name to Spurs. In 1974, Gervin came to SA. The greatest scorer in NBA history, period. A shot for every occasion. And don't forget, 52% career FG percentage. That mean 1 out of every 2 shots went in the bucket.

[@BasketballJones48021]

Wow! This is some great stuff. Thanks. Iceman one of the best to ever do it.

[@70sfan]

Indeed, one of the best scorers ever. Thanks for this comment!

[@xtina2189]

Gotta put him in the conversation of the best finishers at the basket.

[@estevatopanchovillacruz9969]

The way ICE shuffles his feet on the dribble is something I hadn't noticed before. I started using this in my pickup games and it's a game changer. Thanks for putting this video together!

[@70sfan]

You're welcome! You're learning the game from the best of the best!

[@DeeNice681]

Lightning quick first step helped him go where he wanted!

[@70sfan]

That combined with his shooting touch made him impossible to stop in late 1970s.

[@TheIcemanthomas]

And long arms too

[@johnnyreed8537]

A scoring machine who could score at will over anyone...

[@paulgeorge9228]

didnt need threes,either

[@smoothoperator7023]

Gervin & Jamal Wilkes- smoothest players ever.

[@jeffboyce2426]

I followed Ice this whole career I went to the Hall of Fame with Ice May 6 1996 he used to call me his shot gun man from New York city and I look like James Silas I know Ice was the greatest scorer in the history of the game

[@kafemin3000]

at 49 going on 50 years old, Ice is the reason why i watch bball to this day.

[@anglevator4775]

my first favorite player! smoothest ever!

[@coolmod7731]

Hey 70sFan this is an absolute awesome video and I'm glad you took the time out to post it. Thanks! This is some of the best footage I've seen on Gervin thus far. I also love the way you broke things down into categories. I noticed you even have some footage from Gervin's last year with the Bulls. Can you get a hold of the game from the 85/86 season when Ice scored 45 points against the Dallas Mavericks? The date of the game is January 27, 1986.

[@70sfan]

For now, I don't have the game against the Mavs, but I will try to find it.

Iceman top 3 nicknames in basketball history

[@70sfan]

What are the other two?

[@BigYARK]

@@70sfan imo it's "Magic" and The Doctor/Dr. J. Iceman is just so dope to me. I think anybody would love to walk on the court having the moniker of "The Iceman". It invokes different emotions and is ironically just cool as can be "Slim Reaper" for KD is hard as hell too

[@lamontgconley694]

Ice (The Iceman) The Doctor The Big O The Dipper Clyde Silk The Human Highlight Film The Glove Magic Mamba The Answer The Rain-man The Mailman The Admiral Clyde the Glide The Klaw The Big Fundamental The Worm Flash The Chief Spider CP3 Hawk Downtown Frederick Brown The Human Eraser Tiny The Splash Brothers...

Are the black and white video from college or is that early ABA action?

[@70sfan]

This is from 1976 ABA game.

[@lilanthony21O_]

Do you think George Gervin playing for chicago was one of the best seasons of his career?

[@70sfan]

Strange question...

[@citizenscapital2458]

No, it wasn't. But he still averaged over 14 pts per game, off the bench. Also had a couple of 40 point games that last season with Chicago. Could have easily averaged 20+ per game.

[@briandavidson1946]

@@citizenscapital2458 averaged 16.2.
