Uh no.

I loved George Gervin. Tried to emulate the finger roll for years. He could score from just about any angle, could put up points like crazy seemingly without breaking a sweat. But George wasn't much of a defender but at 6'8" he was a pretty good rebounder as a guard. He didn't seem to feel the need to do too much passing either. There really has never been another player like him that I can remember.

I know that it seems that virtually every white person on the planet hates him, but Allen Iverson is probably in the conversation as number 5 with Gervin.
