    I had his poster on my wall when I was a teenager. I couldn't WAIT to get it. That's all basketball heads talked about back then was "GEORGE The Iceman GERVIN!".... "GEORGE GERVIN!" and we were 6ixe'rs fans HEAVY - Doc was our MAN! Grover Washington Jr the musician made a song for Doc called Let It Flow. That's how bad Doc was and we loved all of our people that come from here but we weren't any fools when we saw talented players and George Gervin was DEFINITELY THAT! We had cable so we would catch the ESPN, TNT, WOR in Chicago and New York games being played so plus HBO showing other exclusive shows. I'll never forget this exciting time in the NBA when he, Doc, Moses Malone, Michael Ray Richardson and Kareem all played. Wow!

    The man they call the Iceman but I think he's one of the smoothest players in NBA history and the man who invented the finger roll

    My late father (may he RIP) who was a big Sonics fan back then, from time to time he would tell me stories how difficult Jobn Brisker was as a player and the time Bill Russell got rid of him.

    Idi Amin Dada would feed his enemies to crocodiles. He slaughtered members of his own family. He was a psychopath. If this guy crossed paths with Amin over in Uganda , I dont think he knew who he was dealing with. It wouldnt end well

    Finger rolls were insane. When he was on every shot fell. I know Magic and Bird are Credited with making the NBA big and the Mike huge but what is almost always overlooked is the ABA merger. Wide open ball. The Dr,Ice,Moses,Thompson.Subtract these players and the merger and .......

    I saw Free, Dawkins and Dr J play against the Bulls in Chicago. Sloan, Love, Van Lear and Walker were on the Bulls. What a group of players. Dr. J flying dunk from the free throw line. Sloans and Van Lears defense. Loves outside shooting. Great game. 🤘🃏🇺🇸🎸🏀

    A TESTAMENT to Artis's strength in the paint is his NBA record .599% field goal percentage over 18 seasons. He is the most underrated center in NBA history. And his left handed hook shot was hard to stop. Also, when he got the drop on you for a dunk, it was automatic 2 points.

    The coldest layup bag of all time. Even to this day. NOBODY comes close. The glass was his 304 and we don't have to speak about the finger roll.
