About this episode
Today we’re sitting down with San Antonio legend and basketball great Derrick Gervin — UTSA Hall of Famer. From Detroit grit to global courts, Derrick’s story isn’t just about buckets — it’s about growth, faith, and staying focused long after the crowd goes home.
American Basketball Hall of Fame —- Class of 2025
Born March 28, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan, Derrick Gervin rose from gritty inner-city roots to carve out a dynamic international basketball career. Standing 6′8″, he honed his skills at University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) from 1981–1985, earning his place as a Roadrunner legend. Wikipedia+1 Selected in the 4th round (90th overall) of the 1985 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers, Gervin’s NBA chapter included 77 games with the New Jersey Nets between 1989–1991, where he averaged 8.8 points per game.
Beyond the NBA, his résumé spans global courts: a standout in the Israeli Basketball Premier League where he earned MVP honors in 1995 and twice ranked as the league’s top scorer (1996, 1998).
Gervin also captured a CBA championship in 1992 and was named to the All-CBA First Team in 1990.
UTSA retired his jersey (#30) in recognition of his impact and legacy.
Derrick’s journey isn’t just about points and boards—it’s about perseverance, global ambition, and leaving a mark wherever the game takes you.
