San Antonio Spurs' legend George Gervin was as cool as cool can be. His silky-smooth style on the court, swagger, and his ABA basketball roots earned him the nickname "Iceman" along with his signature shot, "the finger roll" which only added to his cool persona.
Gervin was also one of the first players to sport Nike sneakers and have his own signature line - Nike Blazer.
In the video below, Gervin talks about the Nike Blazer, why he switched from Adidas to Nike, how sneakers are now a fashion-statement, and more. He also answers whether or not Thunder's Kevin Durant has a similar style of play to his own when he was in the league.

Some say he has been blessed by having David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili. Now that Duncan and Ginobili being in their late thirties the Spurs are still the NBA’s best team at 41-12. Here are the reasons...

HOUSTON — Kawhi Leonard has been having a great quiet season for the San Antonio Spurs. He's shooting the ball at 40% from 3-point range and rebounding the ball at 5.5rpg. He's become the Spurs' primary defensive stopper at the beginning of games and clutch situations, but it hasn't really been showcased with the Spurs not being "media friendly" to some...

HOUSTON – 12 days ago, I wrote a column with some very specific data that was showing several parallels on the defensive side of the ball between the current 2013 San Antonio Spurs and the teams of their past championships: 2003, 2005, and 2007.
Being that it is All-Star weekend, I was presented with the opportunity to ask Spurs All-Star forward Tim Duncan about some...

San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili has many tricks up his sleeves when it comes to passing and his return against the Cleveland Cavaliers wasn't going to be an exception to the rule. In his return, he only played 10 minutes and scored 5 points to go along with 7 assists. Those assist numbers are impressive for just 10 minutes, but there's one assist that stole the show...

He is lightning fast. Capable of getting from one point to another in a blink of an eye leaving opponents baffled as to how he gets to where he wants to be with minimal effort.
That description sounds like the character "Nightcrawler" from Marvel's comic book series "X-Men" who has the mutant-ability to teleport. However, it can also describe San Antonio...
