2014 Anger General Geatest of All Time: #26 selection

[Master Spade]

Scottie Pippen




Nominate: George "The Iceman" Gervin

[Y2K]

How do you nominate guys? Time to start seeing Elvin Hayes and Big Game James at least on the list, imo.

Just choose a candidate for the round and then nominate another candidate.

Example:

You're voting for Pippen this round and would like to nominate Ervin Hayes.

Only reasonable nominations will be accepted.

[Odogg]

OK thanks. I would like to nominate Elvin Hayes.

I'm going to have to go with my conscience here and vote for Ewing, even if it's not going to affect the outcome.

Why Ewing?

I didn't realize we're doing nominations again. I'd like to nominate George Gervin.

Beat you to it 5 posts above.

I was surprised no one had Nominated him?

Will his ABA days be held against him? On this board, YES.

Nothing complicated, I just like him better in this spot ahead of Thomas and Pippen.

Well, you laid out your reasons very well. That kind of stuff is why we come to you for astute basketball stuff.

I'm not very emotionally invested either way, and making an argument about it to appease or sway you isn't very high on my list of priorities for today.

Ah, my bad. Yeah, it seems it was an oversight. (I reckon you're right about the ABA, though it didn't impact Dr. J negatively.)

Fair enough. These threads tend to be more basketball-heavy than the usual "Player A is great because Player B is bad" type of commentary we usually get.

Even some of the usual board antagonists get involved in deeper basketball discussions from time to time. Since your take was a bit unconventional, I thought maybe you had a viable reason for making it.

His ABA days shouldn’t hurt him, but for the puberty stricken Teens on this board, nothing before 2007 matters.

He played 10 season in the NBA, from age 24-33(1977-1986), averaging:

27ppg, 5rbs, 3asts, 1stl, 1blk, on 51.4%FG in the Regular Season, with basically the same numbers in the Playoffs.


Pretty damn good!

Maybe not this round but next round he should get far more traction and Votes.
