George Gervin had five of the 76ers' most outstanding defenders switch on to guard him during one series. I can hardly think of another player getting this kind of defensive attention in a series especially considering that it included the likes of Bobby Jones and Maurice Cheeks. Erving, outstanding defender that he was, didn't have to worry about him as his defensive assignment since he needed to conserve energy as his team's best offense.
