Most people don't realize this man's creativity and ability to score. Remember, this is against Kareem, Michael Cooper, Magic and the freakin' Lakers. He has become way underrated. He is truly one of the very greatest.

100 percent true. Good grief; if Philly would have said to him do ur thang, his numbers all around would be even more staggering. Tremendous off the ball defender. Wonderful 12-15 foot bank shooter from either side. In today's game with all the training, specialized diets etc....He would be the face of the NBA. Think about it.... all wide open lanes...he would be attacking the rim like a fat hungry kid eating cake. Greatest open court player ever....and it ain't close.

@@GoGetYourShinebox No, Jordansexual, he wasn't. The Doctor's open-court skills take a backseat to no one, especially Little Mikey. On other erroneous fronts you put out there, Jordan's defense was vastly overrated. When he was being torched, Scottie Pippen was often called on to save Jordan's sorry ass. Erving's defense was no worse than MJ's and Doc was a much better shot-blocker. Jordan had a better outside shot than Dr. J. That's the best I can do.

Julius saved TWO leagues. He saved the ABA long enough for the merger to take place. Then he saved the NBA until Magic and Bird came in. Doc was known for his dunks, but look how many times he laid it up, shot the short jumper, or hit the perimeter shot.

Dr J apart of 30000(8th) pnts also has 10000 boards(more than many centers like ben wallace), 2000 blocks(triple lebron/jordan/kobe) 5700 assists and 7th all time steals to this day..when he went to the sixers the managment asked him and this is well known fact, to drop his scoring so the rest of the egos in that team will be ok and take only 10 to 15 shots per game..that was a 40 per cent reduction from his usual ABA attempts per game..he ended up with 24 ppg career and slightly over 50 per cent fg percent whitch was the same during the ABA and NBA years..so do the math and you ll see that with a few extra attempts if he was in a more Julius Erving type of "system" like Kobe,Lebron,Westbrook or Harden he would easily be 28 + ppg player with way more boards , steals and blocks from all aforemantioned.. Have in mind that the 70s was a team/us type of era and the mentality was way different than the years that followed and the sixers have completely flopped two other all time greats(CB and AI) proving themselfs very unsucessfull coaching/managment/backoffice wise..yet in the Julius Erving era they went to the NBA finals 4 out of 7 times and got their only title since...

My favorite Dr. J story from the NBA (& ABA for a brief period) referee Earl "Yogi" (yes his nickname from his mates in our hometown, Pottstown, PA) Strom. After working an ABA game where he saw the Doctor for the 1st time, Yogi said to some writers, "I just saw the greatest basketball player in the world," (this from a ref who saw Elgin, Bob Petit, Jerry, Oscar, Bob Cousy, Bill & Wilt). For this infraction of public commentary on a player Yogi was fined $50 (it was the early 70's). He wrote a check for $100 with this note, "Here's the $50 fine for saying it plus, another $50 for the next time I say it."

I saw the Finals (that's right I'm old, but not a fool) and Philly's Andrew Toney scored more points than Dr. J-oke in an easy 4-0 sweep of the Lakers. You probably weren't even born. How were the 58-24 Lakers a better overall team than the 65-17 Sixers? Learn the facts before you play the fool. "I pity da' foo'," said Mr. T. BTW: For the smarter folks out there listening this Finals will never be surpassed as it was the last to be completed before June (May 31, 1983).

Obviously, you are lost. Doctor J, was an actual beast in ABA scoring at will. Once Doc came on the Sixers, the Coach wanted him to get other players involved and did not have to totally score high points for them. If Philly would have given Doc the green light scoring wise, 30ppg easily in his career. Facts! I saw the ABA Doctor.
