After watching this, that was my most prevalent thought, too!! I love when Magic recounts these times. Magic is a tremendous storyteller, AND he doesn't hold back on giving praise to his former rivals. Despite being such a star, he excitedly tells stories where he is not the star. His tales of Jordan are great!

Dr. J said "just another move" because when he played in the ABA, he did moves like this very often. But since the ABA didn't have a TV contract not many people saw them. It wasn't until he switched to the NBA, where the mainstream audience began to see acrobatics like this.

@BrooklynXpat 2 жыл бұрын

Watched that game live and couldn't believe my eyes, no one could, he defied gravity. As MJ reaspondedv to who was the best, while judging a slam dunk contest, "Dr. J invented all of us." No one had played like that before. He gave basketball players something to aspire to and surpass. But he was the first, the original. Dr. J set the gold standard.
