    With tears, I am so grateful to have watched this. I desire and play with all of my heart for basketball, and this man has been Legendary in my household. My Dad has been a San Antonio Fan forever, and the Iceman is his favorite player. I truly believe that D and Q do things as such to embrace the youth and teach them that it is way better to work hard and push forward rather than turn to the streets and do dumb things and ruin your life.

    This was wonderful, Guys- god bless you all having this great man on the show, just great!! Man, I wish you two had really seen him play live..!! I saw him against the Sixers and me and my friends were psyched to see these two great teams play. So the game starts out and the Sixers are feeding Andrew Toney every time down and Toney's taking it to Gervin, scores the first 2 or 3 buckets and we're thinking, ohh shit this beast of a kid is gonna smoke the Spurs tonight, but George started to wake up and before you knew it he starts drilling shot after shot, it was a clinic out there, man, that incredible bank shot just kept dropping, then the Sixers pressing up on George allowed George to start to cut to the hoop, for dunks and layups, we even saw two or three of these amazing finger rolls, we were going nuts- upshot? Toney finished around 20, Doctor had maybe 25, and Gervin? Ohh he had 47..... never forget that game

My cousin (which was more like a big brother to me) had it. He got it from a store (now defunct)called Athletic Attic. If I could get my hands on one today, I'd hang it like it just came out. Ice Man (Mr. Gervin/respect) is a real one. Absolutely love this podcast & where Darius & Q are going. I always end my post with this fun fact; I have a daughter that plays Varsity & AAU volleyball. Any time that she gets the kill, she taps her head like Q & Darius Miles used to after a dunk lol!!! Keep going...
