One on One with George "Iceman" Gervin


Listen Later

Basketball Hall of Famer George "The Iceman" Gervin smooths it out with Weareregalradio.com editorial director Kyle Means in an exclusive interview.
Gervin, coach of the Ghost Ballers in the Big3, gives his candid thoughts on the growth of the second-year league that has extended the time in the spotlight for so many former NBA players including himself and dozens of players who take the court each week to play 3-on-3 ball. The league puts on its second championship game on Aug. 24th in Brooklyn.
A reported 14,675 fans attended four games played during the evening of June 29th at Chicago's United Center, where this interview was recorded. On the brink of the NBA's latest off-season free agency extravaganza, Gervin had plenty thoughts on what makes the league go round today including super-teams and great marketing, which could make some fans forget about the exploits of Gervin and the other great players from his era but the Iceman sees that as an unbelievable reality.
Gervin also spoke on ending his pro basketball career in Chicago and what he saw in a young Michael Jordan, with whom he shared top billing on the Bulls during Jordan's second NBA year, which would be Gervin's last.
Still, with over 30 years past since his last NBA action, Gervin has another home in the Big 3 and he fits in with a coaching family in that league that features some of the greatest players ever. In fact, fellow Hall of Famers and Big3 coaches Rick Barry and Gary Payton both crashed this interview, all the way the Iceman kept his cool no matter who was in the room.
