\u201cI think I was kind of an unknown,\u201d the Hall of Famer said of his first NBA All-Star Game. \u201cWe played against a lot of the NBA guys in the summertime, so they knew that we could play. We always had something to prove because you are coming into a new league, you want to show everyone that you can play. Guys like myself, Doc, David Thompson, we kind of took charge…I guess after three or four years they were convinced that we belonged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be at both the houses interacting with the fans. I\u2019ll see if anyone can finger roll,\u201d Gervin said of his signature move. \u201cI know everyone can\u2019t finger roll. A lot of other legends will be there, some current players will be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
