"They dont get money 💵💰 because of skill, they get it because of tv". This is the most honest basketball 🏀 interview i have ever seen. Thank God for Michael Cooper and all the crew and every subscribers too. From Chicago Illinois with love 💕.

When the Spurs played on television, they would advertise the game by saying "The Iceman cometh." Gervin was incredible.

Iceman hit nail on head with today's youth and colleges giving out useless degrees. Vocational training is where it's at if you want to be successful in life. A degree in gender studies will keep you unemployed. The ABA was legit back then. High scoring games 132-126 was the norm. 3pt shot and shot clock made game exciting. Loved it! Gervin was smooth as silk. Sweet jumper, great ball handle. The patented finger roll doesn't get enough credit like the skyhook by Jabbar.

I remember when he came to junior high school. He was really nice and down to earth. That was right before he won MVP at the All-Star game that year. He was on fire. Mr. Gervin thank you so much for coming to our middle school we love you 😎

The Greatest scorer ever. Hands down period. So many ways to put the ball in the hole. Ice had an array of trick shots. He would be in the games taking and making shots you see the Harlem Globetrotters doing. He did it with the greatest of ease. Quick, pretty and smooth without breaking a sweat... Ice did it without having to dribble the ball for a million years too!

couldn't agree more with you and don't forget the classic pre Duncan angle bank shot, he could score 30 in his sleep shoot over 50% and when he was young he was nasty,had hops... people talk about Kobe God rest his soul, if I had to take a 2 between those two it would be Ice

Hey Coop have any of you SHOWTIME guys thought of setting up something like a SHOWTIME CHANNEL where us older guys can relive the good old says (hard to believe it's been 40 years) but SHOWTIME is still my favorite era in sports. But the qaulity of their videos is terrible. I would love to download high qality 1985 games 2,3,5,6.
