George “Iceman” Gervin Joins 2011 Show
George “Iceman” Gervin, formerly of the San Antonio Spurs and named one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players, will be signing autographs at the Austin Toros tent from 6-6:45.
Gervin averaged at least 14 points per game in all 14 of his ABA and NBA seasons, and finished with an NBA career average of 26.2 points per game. He holds the distinction of being a former teammate of both Julius Erving (with the Squires) and Michael Jordan (with the Bulls). Widely regarded to be one of the greatest shooting guards in NBA history, Iceman was primarily known for his scoring but nicknamed Iceman for his cool demeanor on the court.
Following his time in the Toros tent, George will be interviewed on stage by Bill Schoening, the radio voice of the San Antonio Spurs.
He remains active in the San Antonio community with seven organizations designed specifically for underprivileged kids, including the George Gervin Youth Center. Gervin is beloved in San Antonio and believes that his own experience as an underprivileged child in Michigan inspired him to get involved.
