The first true superstar in San Antonio, “The Iceman” George Gervin was among the best players ever. His finger roll was one of the most devastating shots in basketball much like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s skyhook. It was an unblockable shot that helped Gervin score more than 26,000 points.

Gervin was a nine-time All-Star with the Spurs, winning the All-Star game MVP in 1980. He also made the All-NBA First Team five times and the All-NBA Second Team twice. Known as a scorer, he was a four-time scoring champion. His iconic No. 44 jersey currently hangs at the AT&T Center along with other great Spurs players.

Honorable Mention: Forward – Kawhi Leonard

Oh, what could have been? Kawhi Leonard was on his way to becoming one of the greatest Spurs to ever play. In seven seasons in San Antonio, Leonard was a one-time NBA champion, a one-time NBA Finals MVP, a two-time All-Star, and a two-time Defensive Player of the Year.
