James Allen+FollowGeorge “The Iceman” Gervin on Today’s NBA: “I’d Score None”One of the greatest scorers in NBA history, George Gervin, was asked how many points he’d average in today’s game. His answer? “None, ’cause I couldn’t play it. These guys are just so much better than them guys. I had my turn, now it’s these guys’ turn — let ’em enjoy it, like I enjoyed it when I had my turn.” The humility is striking coming from a man who once dropped 33 PPG in a season and was famous for the silky finger roll. #GeorgeGervin #NBAHistory #Iceman #NBADebate #ScoringGreats #NBA #Sports 7831Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowIceman Schools Today’s Iso-Ball EraGeorge “Iceman” Gervin isn’t shy about calling out today’s NBA stars for over-dribbling. He says holding the rock for 5-8 seconds is a “travesty” and misses the beauty of constant movement. Back in his day, Gervin relied on a killer first step, not endless crossovers, to break down defenders. His career 51% shooting and 26,595 points back up his old-school philosophy: move the ball, make a quick decision, and keep everyone involved. Is the modern iso-heavy game losing its way? #Sports #Basketball #GeorgeGervin10Share
guerrajohn+FollowWhen MJ Ended the Iceman EraDid you know "His Airness" dropping 63 on the Celtics in '86 didn't just break records—it pushed "Iceman" Gervin toward retirement? Gervin, a four-time scoring champ, admitted in his memoir that watching young MJ torch Boston made him realize his time was up. It was a true passing of the torch moment, with Gervin gracefully stepping aside as the Bulls' new superstar took over the league. That game wasn’t just legendary for the points, but for signaling a new NBA era. #NBAHistory #MichaelJordan #GeorgeGervin #Bulls #Celtics #PassingTheTorch #Sports190Share
