George Gervin: Michael Jordan did not appreciate me and used to call me an old man 

Wilts finger roll, wilt fadeaway, wilts up and under and wilts baseline spin were also up there

@@JohnnyRodgers3 Wilt was a beast.

FACTS. What a piece of shit Jordan was for this smh

I’m always gon speak out against mj bcuz that exact reason…those that love shoes love mj

Larry Bird was the same. He didn't appreciate Pistol Pete when they were playing together in Celtics.

@@andrzejzborowski4920 first off don’t ever compare scum like mj to Larry the legend. Now bird made a statement n that’s jus how bird is quick with wit. However they talked out their differences n Pete called Larry the greatest he’s ever seen. Something mj would never do bcuz he’s a chump a punk leader and overhyped shoesalesman.😂 mj was an asshole period!!! Not just to team but to fans as well n regular people…None of his teammates liked him bird was well loved by his team mates…he went to bat for his team…mj overhyped as a leader he wasn’t a leader it was phil and pippen the marketing scheme…mj an overhyped shoesalesman

@@andrzejzborowski4920 i know, that bothered me too. Just has a lot to do with the ferocious ego that is REQUIRED to get to the top in sports. Ain't always pretty.

Right on!

Well mj is a terrible person, but he's prolly the 4th or 3rd best basketball player ever.

@@trentongardner2106hes top 50 at best, lebron is the king! my glorious king won 4 championships with no help when jordan got carried by scottie!

@@adolphinler6628 well the king thing is weird but the rest is very true. Jordan did infact get carried, and lebrons help has been suspect at best.

@@trentongardner2106stfu youre not a true fan he is the king! i see now that youre just a jordan rider go back to loving your 50th best “air” jordan player

​@@trentongardner2106so ray allen, dwayne wade,chris bosh, Kyrie Irving,kevin love and Anthony davis are suspect to you all LeBron does is cry for help your a joke

That’s in the public eye

Ice man you are a cold blooded basketball player Grateful I got the chance to see you play

​@@brandonb3174and in private? MJ called Gervin an old man when at that time, he was an old man

He had to look good for the public, but behind closed doors he was entirely different

It don't matter what MJ was like behind close doors bc that's behind close doora. What's important is MJ was respectful to George and the rest of the league in the public (besides IT).

I used to chat with him at the HEB in Bulverde, TX. The man loves his HEB ice-cream. 🙂

MJ is way better

Me too!!

Yeah, I was an Iceman fan too. Use to try to mimic as a kid playing basketball his classic... finger roll smooth as ice layup. In his prime... Iceman was the Bomb and he had a style of play that no one has duplicated nor can. 👍

@@PoliticusRex632 heb? is that a store name or ice cream flavor?

He was NICE and his game had flare.

Agree, I followed him since he came to the Spurs team from ABA team Virginia Squires. He was the Spurs team best player, then top scorer of the NBA after the Spurs merge with the NBA. Iceman was one of kind player. The way he played made it look so easy, with an exceptional skill.

Live in Philly now, from Newsome Park. George Gervin was on that team with Dr. J.

Charlie Scott, Swen Nater, George Carter, Dave Twardzik, etc etc. Earl Forman had an eye for talent for sure. But money always got in their way. I think being a bit vagabond and going the regional route like the Cougars might have hurt. Should have always played at the Scope.

@@michaelangelograves5903 he was, but not the two games I went to.

I'm sure he didn't regret it

He was taunting Gervin in practice like he did everyone else.

Young people sometimes are like that. Disrespectful to elders.

Do u somehow not know jordan is one of the biggest assholes around? 🤔

Wasn’t joking Jordan a asshole

6’7 with 7 foot wingspan

And yet he has never 3 peated twice with 6 fmvps 5 mvps 10 scoring titles 9 nba all defensive first team.

@@AIH483 u must like to feel MJs d*ck huh?

​@@AIH483I mean MJ never scored 100, grabbed 55 rebounds, or lead the league in assists

And how many more points??

@@JM00237 MJ averaged more points on more shots. I didn't look at those because I thought that was obvious.

@@JDogg0623 typical Jordan fanboy

at one point I remember MJ said that there should BE NO BULL PLAYER WHO'S SALARY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN HIS.that was in '86 season.

You are in love with Michael Jordan. And liek a typical Micahel Jordan fan, you are tearing down anyone who questions you're guy Michael Jordan. Now before you tell me I'm wrong, and you're not a Michael Jordan fan, and I'm a lebron sexual, and you were there, you can go on my program and prove that everyhing you wrote is true, so would you like to go on?

I remember one game they put Gervin in when MJ was hurt I guess You could see Ice wasn't in shape but he dropped 40 anyway easy peasy.You know MJ was jealous and hating him for that

@@theuniversegalaxynba The truth is the truth, lebronstan.

@@TheEsquireOfSports Typical M ichael Jordan fan. Ignore everything. Get annoyed. Write something that makes no sense. Lie. Contradict yourself. Move the goal post. Cherry piclk. Act strange. And label someone a lebron James fan............man.........you Michael Jordan fans........are all the same..........bunch of brainwashed zombies............who believe everything there told from the 1980's and 1990's...............anyway............you let me know if you ever want to go on my program and debate me.............instead of typing things online like an online prince.............but...........we both know you won't go on............and we both know the reason you won't go on is because you're scared.

Yeah for a 100000 dollars

So you played against him on Detroit as a teenager?

Well don't take this in a negative way, but a human is not in there prime in there 40's then.

Man you Michael Jordan fans really are the worst sports fans of all time. EVerytime something is good for Michael Jordan you guys always find a way to elevate him. And everytime something is bad for Michael Jordan you guys always find a way to dismiss it.

If you want to call 32-33 'old' LOL. To me, that's still just a kid.

@willshad that's old in the world of sports you're acting like that's not the case. 32-33 y.o. is 10 -13 yrs of professional sports that's old

Bill Simmons.

MJ was a ball hog in his early years. He had Orlando Woolridge too in his early career who was averaging 22 pts a game. Jordan didn't win playoffs until he learned to pass. Never beat Bird's Celtics because Bird helped make his teammates HOF careers too by passing.

@@marykuettner752 unlike Kobe, I think MJ didn’t have anybody to pass to. Keep in mind he played with Worthy and Perkins at UNC. But I also don’t think it’s a coincidence he didn’t get another all star in Chicago as a free agent. Nobody wanted to have their scoring average cut in half and it took an under appreciated Pippen to be the perfect duo. Ron Harper was already washed up and Rodman was damaged goods, so they were content with their roles.

@@Edd1e8 Bird was drafted to a team that was as bad as MJ. Parrish and McHale didn't come along until the following year. Bird still improved their record by 32 wins. Bird's first championship had a very different makeup than his second and third. Bird was better than Jordan in playing the hand he was dealt. Watching bb back then it was pretty evident Bird was a much better team leader right from the start. I take nothing away from Jordan's greatness when I say that because he talked about it himself. He says his coach had to force him to pass.

@@marykuettner752 Bird had a much higher IQ and was more concerned with winning over stats and one-on-one matchups

MJ thought that the game is all about scoring. He didn't want to share a ball. He wanted to win alone. George was shooting guard as well but after his prime. I always thought that George was traded because of MJ's injury that year. I was mistaken. But he still could score 16.2 ppg in 25.1 min. He even had a 45-point game. Later he said that he drank too much alcohol at that time. Well, Michel didn't respect anyone.

Top 5 player or top 5 shooting guard ?

Iceman was a bad dude... Really, really good and one of the best in his era. Jordan was a great player, but as he ascended to the level of one of the greatest players to play the game, he was not a very good team mate in terms of likeability. He was over the top in arrogance, confidence and had a cockiness few could tolerate. I wouldn't doubt a thing most players that played with him say. Many have validated just how tough of a team mate he was to get along with, practice with and play with. I tend to take their recollections at heart. True story here and I'll try to keep it short... I actually met him before he exploded into Rare Air Jordan (born and grow up on Chicago's North Side in the Suburbs near where Jordan was living) and he was not that kind of guy during his first few years in Chicago. Confident, mildly cocky but not over the top and a nice considerate guy. True story... My younger Brother owed a pretty good business in those days in Highland Park il. ( upscale middle to upper class community with a large Jewish presence) and did work for him in the early to mid 80s (detailed his cars) and I met him one day when my brother was returning one of his cars (Red Ferrari Testarosa with "Air 1" Illinois plates). I was just coming back from 3 years living and working in Germany via U.S.Army. Being very good in basketball, while there I played Military Basketball for the European Command representing my Community in Northern Germany- referred to as Nord Deutschland (and the city of Bremerhaven Germany), and also in the German Euro League for a team owned by Nike and had all of Nikes latest stuff, all apparel and their latest hottest shoes, including the Air Jordan line of shoes. Our team had an exclusive, specially made only for the team, version of Jordan's 1st Generation Red & Black Air Jordans, and they were made in Blue & White ( instead of Black n White) to match our Team Colors and Uniforms. That's another story... Awesome experience though! So when my brother said he knew Jordan and worked for him... and of coarse I didn't believe him... I met him at his shop, which was really nice, best detail shop I'd ever saw... and still to this day best I ever saw. He took me to Jordan's home in Highland Park Il. in the Red Farrari he and his guys in the shop had just finished. Nice semi large home in a very nice neighborhood but not extravagant or exceptional. Jordan was big already but he wasn't mega stratosphere big yet, and the Bulls hadn't won a thing yet, so he was still very much down to earth and he was single as well at the time. He was picky however in who he associated with. He seemed to be more of a home body type. He was always in close contact with his agent, another lawyer and his mom. It seems to me in memory that he said his mother would come and visit from time to time as did his siblings and he had a full-time assistant but he mostly lived alone. Jordan was really a nice guy in my recollection. My younger brother was more of the aggressive type so I did wonder how the heck did he land Jordan's business... it was through other business he had, which were a lot of lawyers, some Bankers, Doctors and other Sports Pros ( Refrigerator Perry of the Bears would be another I later met). Jordan was far more reserved and more like a cool country dude to me at the time. He gave us some tickets to the annual Chicago Pro Benefit basketball game played each summer in Chicago that raises millions of dollars for some important charities helping low income disadvantage people around Chicagoland. Also gave us tickets to the party hosting the Pros that Friday night. Hottest ticket in town each summer. It was a blast too. The Baby Brother dan along too and we had a few tickets to give to close friends from our neighborhood in the city of North Chicago. Wet more NBA Pros that night at the party. In fact, we felt like we were "Big Willie" and was getting lots of attention from the ladies at the party, until that is, the Pros started showing up. Then we were nobody's. Bit it still ended up lots of fun and a great experience. Gotta say, Jordan would become a different person not long after that and it's only natural considering the mega superstar, repeat Champion, and extremely wealthy guy he'd become. But I can say, when I met him. He was like a regular guy, pretty grounded, considerate and a nice one that was on the road to becoming a megastar and win multiple championships. And no one knew at the time, that he would ultimately end up in every conversation with other greats of "who is the goat" in the NBAs history? No one? 😁👍

@@theuniversegalaxynba This video is compete hogwash. I believe every great has loyal fans, some of which will argue you down, tell you down, mad dismiss you with the quickness as crazy in similar fashion as Jordan fans. Try debating with a strong always "King LeBron James" Fan? You'll quickly see this video is hog wash. I know, I've had several with fanatic King James fans and I believe Jordan is the GOAT. The Dr, Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Kolbe and more all have fervent fans that'll argue all the way to the gates of Hell. So to me, this video is complete junk.

They were teammates when MJ said that, not opponents. MJ has always been a jerk.

U still believe that lame bullshit? My god. 😆

@@duftyboxing any arguments against?

So I challenge any Michael Jordan fan to go on my podcast to show your facts that Michael Jordan is the number 1 NBA player of all time. It is real simple to go on. Just send me an email with your phone number, or tell me what app you want to use if you don't want to give your phone number, and I will call you and set it up, the email is water@galaxyhit.com

Watched the highlights they definitely didn’t freeze him out that game

No. Jordan was on the East team and George was on the West team. It was all Zeke...

George was also a functioning addict which wasnt healthy for the Bulls culture.

The NBA was fresh off its lowest ratings in the 1990 finals. First finals with no Lakers or Celtics and Detroit introduced a boring, grind it out, style of game. NBC got the contract for the 1990-91 season and you can bet they had say in ensuring a different style of ball would be played and highlight it’s biggest star.

*Jordan

Jordon was definitely the new generation..Michol Jordon changed the NBA..Magik Johnson and Larre Bird, too..Charels Barklee and Carl Milone too..

Jesus Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and also saviour

If my aunt was a man she'd be my uncle..there's no ifs in winning and losing..

u saying that like they started 13-0 or something lmao plenty of teams have great starts (much better then the weak 3 win start u mentioned) and they still end up missing the playoffs so don´t hype that 3 wins (In a 82 games season) up like it´s something smh

This was a good team that we never got to see develop and build chemistry. MJ, Orlando, older Gervin and a rookie Oakley. That's all I was saying. Only Oakley remained the following year.

​@@geraldcordova9520 well to be fair he broke his foot & returned the last 18 games & they still made postseason on minutes restrictions. Overall, those Bulls just weren't very good so although I know they would've been better with Jordan for a full season, there's no guarantee they would've been a top 4 team in the East.

Exactly, took the "G.O.A.T" 7 yrs to win his first championship..Magic did it as a rookie, Bird in his 2nd season, Kareem in his 2nd, Duncan in his 2nd but of course they didn't have the commercials and the line of sneakers/clothing which makes you a great NBA player..

@@geraldcordova9520 The GOAT is: 6× nba champion, 6× nba finals mvp, 5× nba mvp, 14× nba all star, 3× nba all star game mvp, 10× nba scoring champion, 3× steals leader, 9× nba all defensive first team, 1× dpoy, 10× all nba first team, 1× all nba second team, 2× slam dunk contest champion, 1× roty, 1 nba all rookie first team.

@@geraldcordova9520 Highest scoring average and PER in regular season and postseason history, most scoring titles and finals mvps ever won, 3.2 spg 1.6 bpg in 1987-1988, most pts ever scored by an individual in a playoff game (63), highest assist average in Finals series History for a NON PG. MJ also has played all 82 games 10 times in his career

George was mad that Michael was way better than him, he was about to cry when he saw his teammate drop 63 in front of him, he was like: *"I will never be as good as this guy"* and he was right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@AIH483 or maybe he cried because Jordan scored 63 points......and lost!

Every player Jordan had did not have a coke addiction. George already spoke on that b.s. 2 players only

@@teresa-oj9rq I never said every player on those Bulls had addiction issues. But Gervin, Woolridge and Dailey were functioning addicts.

George had a coke problem earlier. Had it cleared up when he played with Bulls.

What is his area? Mid-range? The paint, primarily?

Well I think the Iceman should apologize for his entire illustrious career based on your comment and observations..what NBA organization are you employed by or what publication do you write for?
