23. George Gervin

George Gervin is one of the greatest shooting guards to ever grace the professional basketball court and his amazing ability to stay sweat-free on the basketball court earned him with the nickname 'Iceman'. Gervin's signature finger roll became a household move that youth at the time tried to master but, couldn't quite achieve the style due to Gervin's ability to hit the shot from the free throw line. Gervin somehow slipped to the third round of the 1974 NBA Draft and was picked 40th overall by the Phoenix Suns.

Gervin eventually ended up on the San Antonio Spurs roster in 1974 where he would go on to average 25.1 points per game and earned twelve NBA All-Star honors throughout his entire career. Gervin also spent stints with the Chicago Bulls before officially retiring from the NBA but later went on to play basketball professionally in Europe and the now debunked Continental Basketball Association.
