People don't realize how hard of a shot the jelly is. It's only for the advanced ballers

Ain't nobody shoot the jelly super-well or consistently in the nba today. It's that hard.

I do lol. Played D1

[@AnkrahJordanAnkrah]

Doing reverse finger roll floaters while jumping that high in the air insane.

[@johnprentice1527]

Not only the finger roll, but so smooth, so graceful. Really fun to watch play.

[@pjuggle]

Thank you for posting he was one of my favorite players as a kid. I had an Iceman Poster in my room growing up. Everyone wanted to be the Iceman #44.

[@daxterclark5092]

So did i

[@thirteen26]

I forgot who but I remember watching an NBA legend say he had a George Gervin Iceman poster in his room growing up. That poster of him sitting on a frozen throne (intentional warcraft 3 reference lol) while holding two ice basketballs was legendary

[@rtpmedic66]

Ice, Hawk, Pearl, DT and Doc...folks, this is when basketball was being played.

[@master-kq3nw]

King of finger roll iceman

[@DaveStarks-ku2jd]

Let's not forget his deadly one handed jump shot

[@Chrisicola]

A shame there was so little highlights of his games back then as very few were even broadcast back then.

[@williewinston1498]

The finger roll at 1:37 is the coldest move i seen in my ENTIRE LIFE. To this DAY. And im 43 years old smh..💯 straight 🔥. I can't find that roll anywhere at regular speed tho smh...

[@citizenscapital2458]

I've seen it a regular speed, with audio. Quite chilling. Total silence, except for the uooooos and awwwwwwws. LA crowd totally appreciated what they were seeing in the moment. As a Spurs fan dating back to 1973, I was there in 1974 when Gervin arrived. As such, it was not the first time to witness that particular shot. Gervin usually execute 3 or 4 such shots per game. He really made it look routine from night to night. 52% career fg percentage. This means that for every 2 shots taken over a 12 year career, Gervin got 1 bucket.......think about that!!!! So he was not just taking shots, he was a shot maker who played with finesse but played physically @ 6'8" 180 lbs while playing in the hand check era. Gervin punished his opponents.

[@icyboy771z]

I used to have that move in my repertoire driving baseline and then reversing the ball like that.

My all time favorite player. The Ice Man 👍🏾

[@littlebytes8128]

I like how the ice man credits the OGs before him. Miss this kind of stuff.

[@christianmathisenjr1800]

Cool mix. Good music choice and nice editing. Keep up the good work. Fun to watch.

[@cheesemouse7774]

#1 and he is from my home town city, Detroit, Michigan. The home of all the best "ballers"! Only in the D baby!

[@jamaalhorton2343]

I might have to agree and I’m from East Saint Louis . Everyone from Detroit seemed to be 6’7 and cold

The Nasty LA Finger Roll Baby At 1:37

[@ronlastimosa5877]

Doing high loopers, way ahead of his time

[@TataShvaler]

As a Center in HS I obviously looked up to the big guys out there and practiced Kareem's sky hook to that level that it became automatic. The second move I've practiced for years was the Iceman's finger roll. To this day I still can't do it. The finger roll is the smoothest, most elegant yet toughest move to learn. I clearly failed but it looks amazing when Gervin did it.

[@nvmby7871]

I literally had this guys layup package in 2k , it felt so underrated I didn’t know he was an older player like that

[@gregoryharris4674]

That one against the Lakers just filthy

[@grabowskilane]

Fanga Roll!😂😂😂

[@ScottKilmartin]

So so good mate, thanks for cutting this up. Loved Ice Man as a kid.

[@KobashifanSam]

Hes like "nuh uh, i dont need to dunk! Check out this smooth move instead!" Makes it look way too easy to slip that past defenders

[@Ryenobal]

Gervin was definitely the master of the finger roll. Clyde Drexler had one of the best finger rolls as well. James Worthy was pretty good too, but didn’t have that extra flip of the wrist.

[@bobbythespaceghost51]

Amazing!!!!

[@southerncomfort1339]

Looking at highlights of the players of the late 60s n 70s makes it Very Hard to watch the players of today!!!

[@citizenscapital2458]

Gervin was 70s, 80s

[@southerncomfort1339]

I know that but I'm 60yld I remember the players of the late 60's

[@joroniljosol5902]

Finger roll is very hard

[@jamaalhorton2343]

When I used to play we called the finger roll “ the Gerv”

[@bobdavis3357]

Wilt had the ugly big fingerroll. But Ice could make a fine shot from 3 point range and soft off the glass. Ice was a class act.

[@bsjeffrey]

watched a clip where he finger rolled the ball off the upper left corner area of the glass and in. this was in a game.

[@HeathOverledger]

Ice Man!

[@davidharris8082]

The smoothest shot in basketball He knows how to FINGER -ROLL 🏀

[@beenizz5102]

The fact that wilt as admitted by the kind of the finger roll and all time one on one player iceman was the first to put the finger roll on the map is insane given all the other things he’s the goat at and dominated with and introduced to the game and doing that at a center position influencing forwards and guards Goat by far

[@TheManOfTheHourEveryHour]

He'd average 40ppg off finger rolls alone today.

[@GavvMikeson-rv7rq]

No announcement could declare the media among the beginning.4 hours .today.. well flip the net.

[@michaelfowler5760]

Fanga role...

[@coolmod7731]

It's called a FINGER ROLL. Get it??? People on here talking this Jelly S*** kill me... That's like someone re-naming the hook shot calling it the Arch or something. These young Uncle travelling Matt & carrying basketball fools of today, don't know the true history and meaning of the slightest basketball terms.

[@bobbykilroy860]

This kind of like the jelly before the jelly

[@coolmod7731]

Naw the Jelly is kinda like the finger roll, since the finger roll came first.
