Look at 1:18 where Bobby Gross, also 6'6" tall and really quick, is right with Dr. J. but still gets dunked on with ease. Dr. J is the most dominant small forward ever when it came to finishing on the break and going to the hoop in the half court. He could get up so quick, hang and then finish soooo strong. Too bad there isn't more footage of the Dr. J in his prime in the ABA. What a great player!
Look at his stats sometime, very impressive, especially in the ABA, where he averaged 33 points and 20 rebounds his first season in the playoffs! 50% shooter for his career
Lol its funny how they say Jordan was the best but he models almost every aspect of his game from Dr. J . just look back at the moves (cradle dunk -actually the way he dunks also)
I'm a huge Celtics fan but I always had great respect for the Sixers especially Dr.J. His one-handed reverse layup behind the backboard in the Finals vs the Lakers was the greatest layup of all time.
I love how ,at about 2:28, you can see people in the background stand up, as the good Doctor soars to the basket, with looks on theirs faces that say ," Holy Shit!!" falkner 23, Terrific video dude.
its funny watchin this video how he just looks like a man among boys
all the great athletes or great players always seem like they can do whatever the funk they want out there to these other PROFESSIONAL players (AKA the best in the world)
and they STILL look like a man among boys playing against this competition, its just insane
all the greats, jordan, magic, bird, kareem, dr j, barkley, wade, kobe, lebron, chris paul, paul pierce, yao ming, dwight howard, etc
i dont think anybody can do the same thing julius did for the game ok jordans was a beast but julius played each game like it was his last.... thank you julius
Call dat pack that James Worthy zone 6 Julius Erving, Sat my Donk on Julius Erving, Ride thru the 6 like george gervin, you got them birds i want a few, first, ima drop a deuce homie want 12, I want 30, boy dats 42
i heard that him nd larry bird got into a fist fight one time, nd the next game larry hit a nice shot nd dr. j gave him a high five going back down the court i mean thts respect
Falkner 23, you don't know what you've done for me with this tribute to my all-time favorite player, Julius Erving. Being from "The City of Brotherly Love (ha!) ", Doc was our hero, he was street ball integrated with the fundamentals, the Miles Davis of the hardwood, the Birth of the Cool, New York ghetto with character, the Doctor. I was honored to see him in his prime, and I tell people all the time that he could've scored 30 a game in his sleep, but he was a team ballplayer, so he changed ...
... his game for the 76ers when he came to Philly because we already had two all-stars and a good team when he got here: Henry Bibby, World B. Free, Steve Mix, Doug Collins, George McGinnis, Darryl Dawkins, Joe Bryant, Harvey Catchings and Caldwell Jones. Doc made us a contender, and though he only won one title in '83, he led us to the Finals four times, while modernizing the game of basketball that led to an influx of stars like 'Nique, Clyde and MJ. Jay and Julius a perfect combination. One.
Back in the '70's my dad made sure that we got to the Spectrum early just to see the lay-up line, it was better than some of the Dunk Contest that I've witnessed! Between Doc, World (then Lloyd Free) , Chocolate Thunder, Harvey Catchings and Joe Bryant (Kobe's dad had some hops too) , you got a show!
the ABA was on the same leval with the nba....in the 1st year after the merger 4 of the top 10 scoreers were former aba players and 10 former aba players were all stars also much of what the NBa does now was started in the ABA including the 3-pointer, slam dunk contest, and the way down to the dance teams
its the same with connie hawkins who was banned from the nba & by the time he got 2 the NBA he had all his prime years wasted but he still had something left 2 show the NBA
true that, doc revived our city for 11 years, everybody wanted to be doc, black,white,chinese,spanish..he broke that racial barrier in our playgrounds and the world. today nba players are told how to be. but doc was a true player and human on his own merit, what you see is what you what get from doc he wasnt fake..i miss his game.
