George "Iceman" Gervin vs. "Pistol" Pete Maravich

Those are some skinny ass mofos. Would they get trampled in today's game? Who knows.

What I was thinking. Guys looked like that hadn't ate in months....Can you imagine them going up against Shaq, Stoudamire, Artest with those skinny little frames?

Came across this unique footage of a H-O-R-S-E game between the "Iceman" vs. "Pistol Pete". Never seen it before.

That had to be from the very early days of Gervin on the Spurs.

Two things of interest:
1. He was a very good jumpshooter when he came in the league. Putting a couple of letters on Pistol Pete with jumpshots ain't bad shooting

2. Interesting that two of the shots he missed were sorta like the underhand scoop or finger roll that he made the most famous part of his repertoire.
