George “The Iceman” Gervin’s Iconic Game-Worn Jersey
A Legendary Career in Basketball
George “The Iceman” Gervin, a name synonymous with excellence and scoring prowess, stands as one of the most celebrated figures in basketball history. Known for his smooth style and scoring ability, Gervin made an indelible mark in both the ABA and the NBA. His career average of 26.2 points per game is a testament to his offensive brilliance. Gervin’s first scoring crown in 1978, where he narrowly edged out David Thompson, remains one of the most memorable moments in NBA history. He went on to lead the league in scoring three consecutive years from 1978 to 1980, and again in 1982, securing his place as the guard with the most scoring titles in NBA history.
