Thirty-seven points in one quarter! That's what Klay Thompson, the Golden State Warriors' young shooting ace, had just done, the texts said. Thirty-seven points. Four more than Gervin scored in a quarter back in 1978.
The 62-year-old Gervin had two immediate reactions when he learned of Thompson's incredible feat.
First: "I said, 'Wowwwww, that's pretty impressive.'"
Then: "But I'd like to see him try to get 33 or 37 in a quarter when there wasn't no three-point line."
Within seconds, Gervin's friendly baritone gives way to a hearty, mischievous chuckle. The former high flyer and Hall of Famer, who still answers to the nickname Iceman, is speaking from pride, not bitterness, with an eye toward historical accuracy.
When Gervin set the NBA record for points in a quarter—in the second quarter of a loss to the New Orleans Jazz, on April 9, 1978—there was no three-point arc. Its adoption was still a year away. Gervin accumulated his 33 points the old-fashioned way: on mid-range jump shots, slashes to the rim and free throws. If he scored three points on a play, it came with the help of a shooting foul—the "and-1."
Why is it every time some amazing shyt happens in the NBA, one of these old nikkas got show up some hatin shyt
"I don't feel—and it's funny, everybody laughs—I don't feel he broke my record," Gervin told Bleacher Report in a phone interview. "I feel he set a new record. He set a new record for the new NBA."
He paused again to break into another contagious chuckle.
"Think about it, man," Gervin said. "That's like if we're going to have a race, and you start on the 50-yard line and I start on the 1-yard line and we're doing a 100-yard race. It's not even."
nikka Klay broke yo record.
Records get broken almost everyday in sports why this dude getting so defensive?
