Retro NBA - Julius Erving
Loading...
Uploaded by ginoongkamote on May 19, 2008
Julius Erving commonly known by the nickname Dr. J, is a retired American basketball player who helped launch a modern style of play that emphasizes leaping and play above the rim.
Erving helped legitimize the now-defunct American Basketball Association (ABA). Much as some players are considered "the team," Dr. J was considered "the league." He was the main asset of the ABA when it merged with the National Basketball Association (NBA) after the 1976 season.
Erving won three championships, four Most Valuable Player Awards, and three scoring titles while playing with the ABA's Virginia Squires and New York Nets and the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers. He is the fifth-highest scorer in professional basketball history, with 30,026 points (NBA and ABA combined).
Erving was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time team and in 1993 was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. In 2004, he was inducted into the Nassau County Sports Hall of Fame. Many consider him among the most spectacular basketballers ever, and one of the best dunkers. His signature dunk was "the Tomahawk."

Nice, but they essentially reused the old fottage from Vintage NBA. Not a lot of original footage or new clips here which is a downright shame.

Yea, but at least MJ always acknowledged Dr. J as his hero and icon, on a individual basis.
MJ and Dr. J both had something others don't.. massive hands, where they can just palm it and toy with the defender.
