From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

George "The Iceman" Gervin (April 27, 1952 - June 4, 2034) was a former professional basketball player known for his scoring ability and excessively skinny fisique. George Gervin is commonly known as the third creature of consequence in the course of human events (after the Mexican Fighting Beagle and before Star Fox).

[edit] Basketball Career

Curley Joe Johnson

George Gervin was recruited out of high school to play for the Harlem Globetrotters. He put up stellar numbers before being traded to the San Antonio Spurs for Curley Joe Johnson and a box of cornbread mix (pronounced cone-bread mix). While on the Spurs Gervin invented the slam dunk. A feat quite easily achieved by him due to his low body mass index which hovered somewhere around 1.8 (Gervin was 6'7" tall and weighed 46 pounds). On a day when the air conditioning was turned up in the HemisFair Arena, Gervin could dunk from just inside half court. The chilly atmosphere that was the result of these AC gusts earned him the nickname "The Iceman".
