In my every day quest within the offseason to seek out any edifying Spurs materials earlier than the pre-season video games start in 40+ days, two random works of magnificence confirmed up on the timeline to assist the trigger:
An X person merely quoted “In all probability my favourite edit I’ve seen” and the following 40 second video takes you quickly from a George Gervin halftime interview whereby (a favourite Iceman-ism) he had simply dropped 35 factors — on the best way to 45 factors and seven rebounds with ZERO threes — on the host Dallas Mavericks. From there, three standout elements make this snippet repeat-worthy: a) Michael Jordan’s present day testimony in amazement of an older Iceman detonating on a middling Mavs squad interspersed with b) “Ice” coolly telling MJ “Ay, I’m was simply showin’ you the way I was,” and c) a slower-than-usual model of Alphaville’s “Perpetually Younger” laying the soundtrack of the video within the background by a few of Gervin’s profession highlights. It’s value a minimum of a dozen rewatches, provided that however to lend some credence to Gervin’s “Greatest Spur of All Time candidacy.”
“The Iceman” George Gervin had unbelievable…what’s the phrase? I wish to say ability, however I do know that may’t be proper since most of his years got here earlier than Michael Jordan… pic.twitter.com/ok705KYda2
