there will, indeed, never be another iceman. gotta peep bounce #16, the detroit issue, if you haven’t already, to get the full ice effect, straight from the legend himself. they said he didn’t play d, but the man had more blocked shots than any other guard in the history of the league.

and the “fanguh roll” was indeed a work of priceless art.

that george gervin shot is one of the most unbelievable shots ever. there will never be another ice. my bad ali. hes in the class of mike and magic.

yeah please keep reggie away from the knicks. that mighty healthy shirt of him is hot though.

The style of all those players shows you how unique their moves were. George Gervin’s finger roll reverse off the glass is special. Shows you how the style is not easily copied.

Believe it or not I saw a young player from St.Patrick – Kyrie Irving – do something similar. Besides Rod Strickland, I haven’t seen anyone in quite a long time score a bucket like Kyrie did at the Super 6.

please don’t let spike get reggie started. he’s liable to come out of retirement just to torture the knicks one more time!

woooow! thank you illest!

some of that footage i’ve never seen before, wondering where it’s from. i recognized 90% of it though. spike seemed so non-chalant with his hosting. does he need reggie miller (pause) to get him excited?
