@1lastshot1lastmiss well understand your dads decision DR J is "The Best Dunker of ALL TIME" no doubt 'in my mind'.. But I feel you on 'Pistol' Pete Maravich; My favorite aswell..

@ramgarr IthinkSweet Lou would have loved playing with those two in an uptempo game. Hudson would have had open shots galore plus it would have played to Pistol's biggest strength, his passing.

The big problem is that Milwaukee drafted Erving in the '72 draft. Erving was signed by the Squires after his sophomore year from UMass. The NBA didn't have a hardship draft at the time. Erving's senior class graduated in '72 and the Bucks decided to get his rights in case the ABA folded. If Guerin and the Hawks had announced that they had signed Erving BEFORE THE DRAFT, I'm sure the NBA would have allowed them to keep Dr. J.
