The Operator
Execution, delivery and performance, gets the hard thing done.
George Gervin reads as The Operator because he strips leadership down to craft and execution. The finger roll, four scoring titles, 110 blocks in a season, he traces all of it to 500 shots a day, going both directions, staying fundamentally sound.
“I shot the ball five six hundred times a day, going right, going left, bat shots and stuff. I got consistent. Once you have confidence that you can do something, that's how I was able to score like I did.”
