By Kyle Boenitz, Project Spurs.comA lot of people may not have heard of Tobias Harris. The Orlando Magic’s second year small forward out of Tennessee doesn’t get a lot of recognition, but he’s a solid young player always working on getting better.
Helping him on his path of improvement is none other than George “Ice Man” Gervin, one of the greatest San Antonio Spurs of all time. Gervin and Harris’ family go way back. Tobias’ father, Torrel, was actually the Ice Man’s agent in his post-NBA career.
"I've known the family a long time," Gervin said. "Tobias can play, man. He understands the game. He loves the game. I'm proud of him."
