I'm not sure when the iceman was discovered, but I know I am fairly sure he got his start in Texas with the ABA.
I don't know if he was still with San Antonio, when the Spurs went from the ABA to the NBA. But I recall that while he was in San Antonio, he came to be known as the "Iceman."
He went on to play with other teams, but always stayed beloved to this city.
I'm not sure how old the Iceman is, but I'm fairly sure he over 50.
