I grew up in Uniondale and Roosevelt, LI, and personally saw Dr. J play from Roosevelt HS, to U Mass, to the ABA, and to the NBA. I attended Temple U, so I was in Phila. when he became a 76er. From Roosevelt Park, Centennial Park, Kennedy Park, Rucker, he rocked the NBA. He is a true legend who changed the game!! He did Strong Island and the 'Velt righteously. We love you Doc!
@@DEver-xe3eo There's enough of his legacy to go around..lol...A lot of us back then moved from the 'stead. I myself was in West Hempstead before we moved, so it's all good...
@@adambrown7609 My cousin played on the team with him at Roosevelt High. Eddie Murphy is younger than us, but later on, I did live in the same apartment complex in Hempstead when he was at SNL (before he purchased "Bubble Hill)...Long Island is chock full of legends! Thanks for sharing.
Dr. J shook me and my brother's hand after a Sixers vs Knicks game at MSG back in 1982. We were like: "I'm not washing my hand!!!" 😂 Dr. J-Julius Erving was larger than life for a lot of us kids in the late 1970s and early 80s.
This is why I watch you guys. I just learned a lot about Dr. J. #1 show for me because of who you have on the show & the topics you cover plus the questions you ask. Can't wait to see more old school players. Suggestions are Ben Wallace, Brandon Roy, Terrell Brandon, Mark Price, latrell sprewell, Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal. Excited to see who got next.
Peace! I know Pete Vescey and talk to him here in NY. He told me some legendary stories about the Doctor! Salute 🫡 to one of the greatest to ever lace up a sneaker 👟 The Doctor! Dr. J has the two greatest moves; I’ve ever seen. The first was his baseline drive against the Lakers in the 80’ Finals…and the his rock the cradle; dunk on Coop in 1983…I watched both games live 😮….Smh..
Best sports show on the internet. Whenever I hear that “remember” it makes me wanna run through walls to achieve my goals.. Thank you coach! Spanish Harlem NYC in the building!
Younger people today will NEVER understand how good/impactful Dr. J was. I will NEVER forget as a kid the very first time I saw him play on TV! Back in his afro days. I had never seen anything like it. He blew my mind.
Julius Erving paved the way, he lost his brother early and still conducted himself as a great human being on and off the court, never a bitter human being. Real OG of basketball 🏀. I got extra luv for him because his birthday is a day before mine. I remember my older cousins in NYC always talking about Dr J being ☝🏽 of the best.👍🏽🙏🏽
CONNIE HAWKINS RIP "THE HAWK" DR. J THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE HANG TIME UNDER THE BASKET SCOOP AND UNDER THE BASKET... LEAPS! LEAPS! LEAPS! KNOWS NO BOUNDS.....REMEMBER RUCKER NYC! JB.OK
Thank you Doc. I’m 55, my earliest basketball memory is he doing things that were and still are unbelievable!!! His off court grace and dignity, even more important for men of my age from our community!! There is no one in the game now even concerned about such things. It shows and it’s sad. I don’t even watch anymore
Love, love, love, love ... lol ... having bro's, you w/watching sports, that w/a given ... Dr J., the best! Bro's "styling" before/after games ... looking good! Salute.
His impact was undeniable. Where would the game be without him? The 1st True Ambassador of the game, the reverence by players, and a lot of those guys are HOF who were there, stands out for me as a Laker fan!
We need more stories of the street games from players such as Dr J and yourself Mark. Mark I can remember when you would come off the bench for St. Johns. We use to be hyped when you subed in for Mike Moses. You guys should have won it with Walter
@@delbertprince5302 hahahah. I’m from New York. I know about many of the parks and players but I didn’t see All. I would like to have a first hand account of their experiences.
Any time Julius Erving was in the public during his time in the ABA, it was like an Alien just stepped off of a Spaceship --Pat Riley 2:00 💦Tears💦 Right now. At 57 years old, for "Us" that loved Basketball and had no Father around his presence was special. Any time he was interviewed, he spoke like a Dignitary and was just as even keel as you see now. Well worth emulating for contemporary celebrities and adults in general.
Hey Mark Dr J is the only Franchise Player that can say that they were in the ABA finals and NBA finals back to back . Dr J is a GOAT . I would say Prime Doc is arguably the greatest small forward of all times . He is one of a few players who can play in any Era 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🫡
Not arguable. Prime Dr.J is without doubt the greatest forward to ever lace them up. All due respect to Elgin Larry and Lebron. Erving prime was better.
The Nets did nothing after the merger in 76, and the Yankees won in 77 and 78. The Reds won in 75,76 Pirates won in 79 and Phillies in 80. So I wouldn't say domination. Now the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 76,77,78, and 79. That is the definition of domination in the late 70s.
Doc.... I got a bone to pick with you. Why didn't you come to Iowa State University instead of U Mass we could have won that NCAA CHIP together brother you broke coach Glen Andersons heart and mine. I was the center and we could have killed the BIG 8 at that time.... Love you brother ! ! !
@@NoNo-ks4gg it is a true story. Read the Dr. first book where he almost went to ISU. My coach saw the Dr. In New York and recruited him and the Dr. talks about this in his first book. My coach was the late Glenn Anderson Iowa State University. Look up his profile and biography Google it and you will see where he (Almost) got the Great Dr. Erving.
you all never asked the man about his iconic dunk on Michael Cooper or his move on the baseline on Kareem and Magic..missed opportunities Mark ,but all else great interview
Nah, that question gets asked to him alot along with video evidence. It was great to hear him talk about kats you don't ever hear about like Bill Chamberlin, Willie Sojourner and that stacked crew The Westsiders. Too many good stories here and another New Yorker Mark Jackson helped bring them out. Great history and respect to the Doc. How many hoopers get a song named for them? Let it Flow(For Dr. J)-Grover Washington Jr.
I actually think Dr. J doesn't get enough acknowledgement or credit for his NBA career. He was actually the guy to watch before Magic 🎩 Johnson, Larry Bird 🐦 and of course Michael Jordan
Dr j is the reason I fell in love with basketball
U should see CONNIE HAWKINS RIP

@@valeriefullilove5198 My cousin went to HS with at Roosevelt. Their sibling went there when Eddie Murphy was there.
I don’t blame the Veit for wanting to claim Doc but I humbly reclaim Doc 😂he from the Stead but he did go to the Velt tho so it’s cool.

Please go watch Reggie Jackson documentary, it was great great great documentary.
ONE OF MY FRIENDS & RIVALS FROM HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE!!!! WE DIDN'T PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER EXCEPT WHEN I PLAYED FOR THE KENTUCKY COLONELS!!!!!😊
Moses Malone the man I ever seen, who got the best of Kareem.

@@williamhorace5794 I said who I seen, i didn’t see bill in 1977 i was only 7!

The Doctor has gotten a lot better looking through the years. 10 years ago I thought he could be a movie star if he wanted to.
Julius ERVING*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing like hearing Dave Zinkoff, aka "The Zink" calling his name at The Spectrum!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can we at least spell my 🐐's name correctly?? Sheesh "Erving"
You beat me to the punch.
Facts 💯🎯
Stop nitpicking
@@slurrinsportztv255na bro this is a legend legend
@slurrinsportztv255 it really is not nitpicking especially if we say Kyrie Erving.
You got remember who you give the ball too and play the game. Ruff place to be in.
🔥🔥🔥
When I think of Dr J ,I think of the new york nets of the ABA.......
Dang dawg --- you old then 👩🏾🦲!
Rest in Peace Ralph Burgess
I just noticed that the New York Yankees and New York Nets dominated the late 1970s
The nets sucked after dr j left in 76
The Nets did nothing after the merger in 76, and the Yankees won in 77 and 78. The Reds won in 75,76 Pirates won in 79 and Phillies in 80. So I wouldn't say domination. Now the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in 76,77,78, and 79. That is the definition of domination in the late 70s.
JULIUS “DR. J.” ERVING
Your best interview ever. Continue the good work. Next you need Jordan the lebron and Brony
Damn where yall Been at?!?!?
Yooo Dr J is respectful with his jokes 😂😂😂😂😂.
All of a sudden, y’all going home
44:05 😂
45:19 Nah, the moment they heard "load management." 😭
the doctor is in the house
Doc.... I got a bone to pick with you. Why didn't you come to Iowa State University instead of U Mass we could have won that NCAA CHIP together brother you broke coach Glen Andersons heart and mine. I was the center and we could have killed the BIG 8 at that time.... Love you brother ! ! !

He'll say, "It's just another shot." Shows you the man's humility and grace.

You know you cooking when you get benched because of your expertise.
The saying goes, when you want to start a team, you get MJ, but when you want to start a league, you get Doc.
Did he say youngest is 19, oldest is 52?!?!
I actually think Dr. J doesn't get enough acknowledgement or credit for his NBA career.
He was actually the guy to watch before Magic 🎩 Johnson, Larry Bird 🐦 and of course Michael Jordan
Is Doc the Goat?
@@teronward7570 Dr J is a pop culture because of his history in the ABA and NBA
