Gervin vs. Thompson: the epic scoring title battle

Hosted by Sarah Kustok, NBA Flashback is the podcast that takes you back to the best moments in NBA history through exclusive archival audio from the NBA vault, along with new interviews with the players and coaches who were in the building.

In this episode of NBA Flashback, we go back to April 9th, 1978 and relive the final day of the regular season when George Gervin and David Thompson had the greatest scoring battle in NBA history... they just weren't playing in the same game. We talk with Gervin's teammate on the Spurs, 3-time ABA All-Star, the Whopper, Billy Paultz about what separated George Gervin from other great scorers, the Iceman's off court coolness, and what motivated George on that crazy night.

NBA Flashback is available on the iHeart app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. NBA Flashback is a production of iHeartMedia and the NBA.
