Bleacher Report recently listed their Top Ten all-time shooting guards, and two Spurs made the list. George “The Iceman” Gervin came in at number 10, and Manu Ginobili came in at number 6.
Perhaps because he spent his first four years in the ABA, and never played in a big market, people outside of South Texas may forget how good Gervin was. As pointed out in the article:
Gervin was one of the most prolific scorers basketball’s ever produced. Despite only playing 10 NBA seasons, he’s 40th all-time in points scored.
