After watching his team win the NBA Finals this year, Gervin said the current Spurs outfit was almost unbeatable.

"I think they've got a good ball club," he said.

"When you've got a guy like Tim Duncan as the foundation, the team is definitely stronger than any one in the league.

"I do hear people say they are boring, but how can a boring team win NBA Championships so many times?

"Manu (Ginobili) and Tony (Parker) are very exciting players, I had a lot of fun watching them."

Gervin also holds high expectations for Team USA and believes it will be hard to beat to the gold in Beijing next year.

The legend will come back to China to participate in the Moto 2 v 2 National Finals in Shanghai next month.

In the tournament's Beijing Conference last week, Cui Xiaoyong and Luan Yeliang won the men's title while Liu Ying and Su Lulu topped the women's.

Both duos qualified for the Finals in Shanghai.
