2005 George Gervin San Antonio Spurs Championship Ring with Original Box

George “The Iceman” Gervin’s 2005 NBA Championship Ring: A Tribute to Excellence

A Legendary Career

George “The Iceman” Gervin, a name synonymous with scoring prowess and elegance on the basketball court, left an indelible mark on the sport. As a star shooting guard for the ABA’s Virginia Squires and the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, Gervin consistently dazzled fans with his scoring ability. Over his illustrious career, he maintained an average of at least 14 points per game in all 14 of his ABA and NBA seasons, culminating in an impressive NBA career average of 26.2 points per game.

Gervin’s first scoring crown in 1978 remains one of the most memorable moments in NBA history. In a thrilling race, he narrowly defeated the Denver Nuggets’ David Thompson by seven hundredths of a point (27.22 to 27.15). Despite Thompson’s remarkable 73-point performance in the last game of the regular season, Gervin secured his lead by scoring 63 points, including an NBA-record 33 in the second quarter. Gervin went on to lead the NBA in scoring average three consecutive years from 1978 to 1980, and again in 1982, earning the most scoring titles of any guard in league history.
