Doc scored over 30,000 pts in the NBA and ABA combined which would put him 7th all-time. Unlike most of the guys ahead of him, the Doctor made his house calls back when defense was still allowed. And before players were rewarded 3 pts for a jump shot. Dr J was one of the biggest heroes amongst Black kids along with Ali and Bruce Lee during that era.
What he did in the ABA was unreal. His peak was with the NY Nets. Its ashamed most people didnt see these years.
Dr. J had a movie long before Michael or Lebron! * The fish that saved Pittsburgh. " That tells you just how great he was!
I watched him in the ABA in VA, he was simply unbelievable. A highlight guy, but so much fun to watch.
These are NBA legends, multiple time NBA champions and all stars, hall of famers, all time greatest players all oozing about the greatness of Dr J. Tells volumes of how great and a generational player he truly was. Sometimes numbers don't do a player justice and Julius Erving is a prime example of that.
Thank you for this video.
- Exactly. Being the best doesn’t always mean you have all the best stats, or the most championships. There’s many other variables, and the Dr checked all those boxes.
His dunk looked like a wire work special effect in a John Woo movie, he seemed to move effortlessly through space.
The first 3 guys I ever saw walk on air was Dr J in the ABA David Thompson at NC State when dunking was outlawed and finally Louisville's Darrell Griffith aka Dr Dunkenstein. If u were a kid in the 1970s Dr J was our Jordan.
If you didn't see ABA Julius? You didn't see Julius. Without showing his full game, NBA Julius was the 1-2 player in the league from 77-82 when players like Kareem, Moses, Ice, Pistol, Bird, Magic, Walton, E, David Thompson... were at the top of their games. Imagine Jordan blocking shots and grabbing rebounds. The closest to ABA Julius the NBA saw was the 77 Finals when he averaged 30 a game, was clearly the best player on the floor, but at times, had to play against his teammates, as well as the Blazers. If he wasn't such a team player, would be recognized as the greatest player of all time. Had to see ABA Julius to understand. Or, you can look at his stats.
@@clh2192 @clh2192 ...You didn't see Doc in high school, college, or Rucker Park. Doc was a team player in ROOSEVELT, UMASS the ABA and NBA. Only the natives from the Apple have seen the complete JULIUS WINFIELD "DR. J" ERVING II.
@clh21292. The NBA saw Julius Erving. The ABA saw Dr. J. I'm glad I got to see both. Dr.J in the ABA was Jordan b4 Jordan.
Celtics fan, but grew up being absolutely amazed at the poetry in motion that was Dr. J.
I was in high school in the late 70's and we completely idolized Dr J. In our gym we'd move the portable high jump mat under the basket, set up a series of steps up to a pommel horse, sprayed stick'em on our hands so we could palm the ball, and try to operate like The Doctor. I saw the Rock the Baby dunk on Cooper, the windmill reverse layup, and the FT line dunk in the dunk contest. I hated Bill Walton's Blazers and the Lakers for denying him a ring, but all was forgiven when he finally got one. Doc is still NBA royalty. Then I got to watch Bird/Magic, Michael and Kobe, but with the way they play and promote the game these days, I long for the days of plumbers and firemen.
You should of seen Dr J at his prime in the ABA with even more spectacular plays, dunks, blocks, offensively and defensively before he was in the NBA. A great professional of his sport!
Agreed. I think Dr. J's time in the ABA is the reason he doens't get the attention he deserves. For whatever reason, the ABA gets swept under the rug, as if the NBA somehow swallowed it up. Other than Kareem, Dr. J was 'the player' of the 70s and early 80s.
@@keithhackett5103 I saw him play with the Virginia Squires and New York Nets (now Brooklyn Nets) and then with the Philadelphia 76ers. A role model in the NBA!
@@eric02156 You were very lucky. There isn't enough of his career on tape. A class act too, that guy.
I know this is a Dr. J video, but every time I hear Magic speak I'm reminded that it's impossible to not love this man.
Really?! Look deeper how he doesn't accept his son/daughter that nobody ever talks about.
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII what does that have to do with basketball though?? Im sure if you DIG REAL DEEP INTO ANYONES PERSONAL LIFE YOU'LL FIND ALOT OF BAD SHIT INCLUDING "PERFECT FATHER" LEBRON
@@nicklauschristofonoXXIIright… it’s just a persona
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII um, he is incredibly inclusive and loving of EJ
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII why are you lying?
Many people forget that before Michael Jordan, Magic 🎩 Johnson, Larry Bird 🐦...
Dr. J was carrying the NBA
Love the old school player videos. Keep these guys legacies sluve n teach these young guys about the greats. Love to see some vids of big o, pistol pete, iceman and other legends that dont get talked about enough. Hard to find film of them im sure, but even a short video would be somethin to help keep their legacy alive. Maybe a combo vid or somethin.
Julius Erving should be paid a healthy residual sum every time the sellers of the ABA get that residual cheque for that phenomenal deal they negotiated with the NBA because he made the ABA the high demand product that it was for the NBA to make that transaction. That deal does not happen if the ABA did not have Doc as their marquee attraction.
Dr.J was the (ABA) NBA player I emulated in the early 70's, because I lived in Brooklyn (Nets). trying to copy his moves. His dunks were enormous
I had the privilege of meeting Julius "Dr.J" Erving in June of 2018, here in Atlanta. He is/was class personified, I'll cherish the moment for the rest of my life...🙂
The first video game to feature named Basketball stars was "One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird" for a reason. Those two were miles above everyone else in the NBA at the time. Nobody will argue Larry Legend, but before there was Jordan, Kobe, or even Magic, there was Dr. J.
@MCCMCKnyte ...There weren't any Michael Jordan then. Turn it off!!!
I grew up witnessing the Philadelphia 76ers go up against the Boston Celtics for three years in a row in the Eastern Conference Finals from 1980-to-1982. Even before the 7-game series between the Boston Celtics vs the LA Lakers in the 1984 NBA Finals, I often define game-7 standardized by the 1981 & 82 Eastern Conference Finals between the Philadelphia 76ers vs the Boston Celtics with Julius Erving & Larry Bird being the centerpieces before Bird vs Magic officially began.
Back in the 70s i hated Dr J it was just Unbelievable the things he used to do on the court as i got older i started to appreciate the doc more and more i'm so glad i was able to see a god given talent the doc is my goat.
If you didn't see him in the ABA, you didn't see what he could really do. He was on the downhill slide by the time he got to the NBA. Iceman talks about practice with Dr. J. At one point the Virginia Squires had Julius Erving, George Gervin and George Irvine. That underhand thing he did against the Lakers? I saw him do something similar but much more complicated in the ABA.
I loved "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh" too C. Webb, I'm from the D and about you age!!!
Doc was my favorite player growing up but I did not get to see him until he got to the NBA. I would sit with anticipation at the edge of my chair watching him and those great sixer teams and he would come down in the open and he would do something fantastic and I would fall off of my chair. One time Doc came down and was going to the basket and someone undercut him and he went tumbling over him onto the floor,Doc was mad the very next time he came down the floor he slammed it so hard he almost broke his wrist if he had been a big guy like Dawkins or Shaq he would have broke the backboard. He only played 3 years in the NBA before the 35th anniversary and he was named to that 35th anniversary team which was the most exclusive team ever. I'll always remember Bret Mussbergers' iconic line " a house call from the Doctor".
Dr. J is my favorite player and the reason why I'm a 76er fan.
I grew up in S Jersey in the 70's and 80's watching Dr.J and all I knew was Dr.J was basketball period
Doc was a KILLER..smooth as butter though...was simply a juggernaut on and off the court. Clearly one of the best to ever do it
Dr. J started the Modern NBA style of basketball
Doc game looks animated. Unreal
Elgin Baylor was the first sky walker.
@PaulGraham-vw8ck ...Julius Winfield Erving "Dr. J" Erving II was the very first one to bring his style of play into the mainstream, PERIOD!!!
Not really..
THOSE WERE THE DAYS...
He changed the game ! He also brought alot of interest and new fans to the game ! No doctor no mj!
Julius Erving one of a kind there will be no other I am his number one fan he was the first to change the game
With today's spacing? Omg!
Nope
🔥🔥🔥
NOPE-------there was always someone before someone. My someone was Connie Hawkins!
Dr J > Jordan> Kobe. But J gets no credit.
No one was better in the open court than Julius.
Doc was No.1 in the world for years
Kareem had the first shoe deal in 71
you'd see the true meaning of what "A Facial" is 😊
How about David Thompson. Didn't he walk on air?
Dr J wasn't that big of an offensive force because he spread the ball around and made it a team game. Doc should have had that killer instinct like Jordan. But Dr J had an array of shots and and he played hard defense. Everyone says Bird n Magic saved the NBA. But Julius saved the NBA. We tuned in and hoped Phili would win. But my Dad didn't point to LeBron or Jordan. He pointed to Dr J and said, boy. when you grow up, I want you to be like Dr J. He's a complete gentleman.
Dr. J was AWESOME!!!! Plus he was humble. Not all this bragging and collar poppin! Loud mouths. Doc made Jordan look stupid!!
& IF THE EARLIER PLAYERS LIKE DOC HAD THE MORE ADVANCED SNEAKERS TO PLAY IN ???*
I tried to tell people that Doctor J was the man before Jordan and anyone else. He was the original, the one and only, slamming on everyone and anyone, flying, gliding, through the air. No one like him, and there will be no one like him. Bottom line.
AFTER PRACTICE SEE THAT JUST SEE YEAH THAT'S THAT WHOLE MENTALITY THAT WE'VE BEEN TELLING Y'ALL THAT PLAYERS HAVE LIKE MICHAEL JORDAN DR J AFTER PRACTICE WE GOING ONE-ON-ONE BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT LOOK AT THAT IN ANOTHER LIGHT BUT I SEE IT AS DR J WAS TRAINING HIM TEACHING HIM HE SAW THE POTENTIAL IN HIM AND AFTER PRACTICE COME ON WE GOING ONE-ON-ONE HE WAS BRINGING HIM UP TO PAR JUST LIKE JORDAN DID PIPPEN WHOLE LOT OF AFTER PRACTICE ONE-ON-ONE GAMES ASK SCOTTIE PIPPEN
Bros made a big mistake;
Dr J would be a Fan Favourie Today?
Well Duh,
You’re doing a Story on The NBA’s GOAT and you really don’t know nothing about him?
Come on Man!
Don’t you Know that the Doc was Everything in Basketball during his Time in the League?
Do this at 6’3 people
Huh
So what happened ? Doc operated
This is one of the few older gen legends that would actually be pretty good in todays league
People talk air Jordan...Doctor is the air and he was like water...he flowed like a ballet. Stop the Jordan crap.
he was the reason they merged the NBA & ABA. The biggest star in basketball wasn't playing in the NBA!
I would have to disagree with Magic, Dr. J was not the first dude walking in air.
@@williamwalker146 Elgin Baylor
@@RadfordFulton Yes! And then Connie Hawkins and Gus Johnson bridged the gap from Baylor to Erving.
@@williamwalker146 When Connie came to my grade school in Phoenix during his first season, he did his talk and then spent 15 minutes shooting around. I only wish I had a camera!
Most people don't know Magic HAS A SON!!!
@@nicklauschristofonoXXII A very confused son.
He has 2 sons
Dam He Looks Just Like Denzel Washington
@troybowen3024 ...Turn it off!!!
Who else thinks Isaiah Thomas is one of the worst storytellers in NBA history I think his ego gets too much involved he really doesn't give it what it deserves and I think he also uses other people's stories that he embellishes😊😊😊
What a dumb take.
What a meaningless comment.
65 years old Dr J is the reason why I watch basketball class act Hall of famer world champion one of a kind original 💯 badass mofo Dr J dunk the ball on Artist Gilmore he was 7 ft 3 in tall Damm Dr Jays chest was in Gilmore's face when he dunked the ball Respect Amen 💪💯🌍🇺🇲❤️🙏✌️
