Circa 1977 George Gervin San Antonio Spurs Game-Used & Autographed Home Jersey

George “The Iceman” Gervin’s Iconic Game-Worn Jersey

A Legendary Career in Basketball

George “The Iceman” Gervin, a name synonymous with scoring prowess and elegance on the basketball court, is celebrated as one of the greatest shooting guards in the history of the sport. His illustrious career spanned both the ABA and NBA, where he played for the Virginia Squires, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls. Gervin’s remarkable ability to score was evident as he averaged at least 14 points in each of his 14 seasons, culminating in an NBA career average of 26.2 points per game.

Gervin’s first scoring crown in 1978 remains a historic moment in NBA history. In a thrilling race against David Thompson of the Denver Nuggets, Gervin clinched the title by a mere seven hundredths of a point, with averages of 27.22 to Thompson’s 27.15. Despite Thompson’s incredible 73-point performance in the final game of the regular season, Gervin’s 63-point display, including an NBA-record 33 points in the second quarter, secured his lead. His dominance continued as he led the NBA in scoring average for three consecutive years from 1978 to 1980 and again in 1982, earning the most scoring titles of any guard in league history.
