When MJ Ended the Iceman Era

Did you know "His Airness" dropping 63 on the Celtics in '86 didn't just break records—it pushed "Iceman" Gervin toward retirement? Gervin, a four-time scoring champ, admitted in his memoir that watching young MJ torch Boston made him realize his time was up. It was a true passing of the torch moment, with Gervin gracefully stepping aside as the Bulls' new superstar took over the league. That game wasn’t just legendary for the points, but for signaling a new NBA era. #NBAHistory #MichaelJordan #GeorgeGervin #Bulls #Celtics #PassingTheTorch #Sports
