There were few players who dominated the game for an entire decade the way that San Antonio Spurs star player George Gervin did from 1974-84. With career-averages of 25.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 steals and one block per game, Gervin did it all on both sides of the floor while maintaining a cool demeanor that earned him his legendary nickname: The Iceman.
One of Gervin’s greatest displays of dominance just so happened to come during his best statistical season in the 1979-80 campaign. Selected an All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference, where San Antonio used to play, Gervin was the marquee talent that a group featuring Moses Malone, Elvin Hayes, Larry Bird and Julius Erving would lean on.
