The Ice man AKA George Gervin

 April 18, 2021 

The Ice Man George Gervin is one of the greatest NBA players to ever live. He ended his NBA career averaging 26.1 points a game, with his 13-year career he was a 9-time all-star and a 4-time Scoring Champ career but stats are not the only thing that made the Iceman so special on the court. the great Magic johnson once said the iceman was the greatest scorer that he had ever seen on the court and one of the great ones on one player of all time. The iceman made it seem so easy when he was flying in the air to the rim while also having one of the best midranges in his day and maybe of all time. The reason why he got the name Iceman was because of how smooth he was on the court where it seems hard for others it seems to come to him with ease.

For some reason, he is forgotten over the years when people start to talk who is the greatest of all time or who is a top 10 player of all time. I never understood why tho he had everything he could score and defend he is one of those players who could of played in any era and would not have a problem being one of the top players in that time. Now people look around and think that just cause someone doesn't pull out the most flashy of dunks and who can't shoot from the three the best, they think that player is not as good or wouldn't be as good if they played today which is nowhere near true.
