Aside from scoring titles and his trademark finger-roll, George Gervin should also be remembered for being one of the bridges between the ABA and the modern NBA, as well as his hand in the globalization of the NBA. He also deserves credit for all of the Spurs’ success that came after his time because without him being there to pioneer the franchise, none of it would be possible. If the world had the media coverage and access to the technology of today when The Iceman played, he would probably be looked at differently.
