Accolades: 12x All-Star, 7x All-NBA, 2x All-ABA, 4x Scoring Champion
Gervin was simply one of the top scorers ever. Despite the NBA making it easier to score with each passing year, Gervin remains atop the league’s all-time PPG leaders (12th). It wasn’t just how many points he scored, it was the manner in which Gervin could fill it up. The “Iceman” was smooth as silk, equipped with a wide array of floaters, runners, and finger rolls which regularly garnered “oohs” and “ahhs” from the crowd in attendance. Gervin served as a pioneer for all of the offensive-minded wings that came after him.
