well, the last time it was the birthday for a spur....

[cantthinkofanything]

I'm bumping this to give everyone one more chace to wish the Ice Man a happy b-day.

Think of it like rubbing a Buddha statue.

This is a great thread! Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday George Gervin!

The could use Ice tonight. He's probably still good enough to be the first guard off the bench.

Happy B-Day George!

Growing up...Gervin was the best spurs player to watch...he always wowed you and you felt this confidence that the spurs were NEVER out of any games...

Some amazing performances where he could literally explode for twenty points....IN A QUARTER....

Hell in one game Gervin scored 20 points in the first quarter...then he scored 33 fuckin' points in the SECOND QTR---OF THE SAME GAME!!!!!!
(It helped that he had a coach who RECOGNIZED a player with a hot hand...I can see Pop watching Ice score twenty in the first qtr---and benching him for most of the 2nd...:bang:bang:bang)

Gervin should be considered one of the all time greats...and it is a shame that his points from the ABA are not allowed because he would be in the conversations that you hear when they are glorifying less worthy players....

Win one for the Iceman?
