-one of the smoothest layups ive ever seen

gervin definitely helped shape the nba

[SuperVegettoReturns]

There will another Iceman coming soon. A different kind of Iceman. A much Tougher Iceman with different Qualities so don't even think about comparing the two . His jumper will be much more Superior than George Gervin . He'll be alot shorter/5'8' & tremendously faster than George Gervin . And may even jump just as high if not, higher!. His drive through the paint will be ridiculous !. Rebounds will be ridiculous as well as handles!. This will be a much more different kind of Iceman, TRUST ME.

It takes true humility , to not take credit for The finger roll. Gervin is a player that has achieved so much by way of his own individuality, that he can give credit to those who he learned from.

At one point in time, Rudy Gay reminded me of George Gervin.

Julius Erviing ,Took Gervin under his wing. Just like Pistol Pete Maravich Did with Erving.

2:14 - This is how I will always remember George Gervin. He was (and is) a class gentleman, and one of the over looked gems of the NBA.
