NBA Laughed at Him—Then He Became a Legend 😱🔥
When George Gervin entered the NBA after the merger, nobody took him seriously. A wiry 6’8” guard in a forward’s world? Unheard of. He didn’t fit the mold—and he didn’t care.
Kicked out of college after a fight, Gervin jumped to the ABA, signed by the Virginia Squires before finding his real home with the San Antonio Spurs. That’s where the myth of the Iceman was born.
Coaches moved him to guard—and he torched everyone. So unpredictable, people swore he never took the same shot twice.
He didn’t just break the rules. He rewrote the blueprint for skinny killers like Reggie Miller and others who followed. You won’t believe how one “misfit” changed the game forever.
He Was Doubted at First… Then George Gervin Built a Dynasty 🔥🏀
They didn’t see it coming—but George Gervin went on to craft an 18-year Hall of Fame career that didn’t just make history… it built the foundation of the Spurs’ NBA empire that still dominates today.
And just when you think the story’s over—Duke legend Gene Banks makes a surprise cameo!
