No doubt he still made an MVP impact, but a former ABA teammate whose name I can't remember told sports illustrated in 1977 that the NBA's lack of a three point line and clogged lanes were preventing fans from seeing Dr. J in his fullest form.

4 mvps. 2x finals mvp. 3 world championships. 12 time all NBA team. 1st non center to score 30000 plus points. 10000 plus rebounds. 5000 plus assists. 7th in blocks when he retired. #1 in steals with 1 year not counted for. 1st non center to be named mvp in 16 years-1981. Greatest open court in history of the game going coast to coast. Top 10 all time. Young J, was a little different. He would be the face of the NBA today. He carried the ABA. He revitalized the NBA. Operation House Call left you saying 6 words. 😱 WOW, how did he do that????? KABOOM!!!

It's good to see that Doc had a complete game used the glass very well and from 18 to 20 feet had a nice range on the jumper. He never try to pretend he was a three point shooter like a bunch of the guys in this modern game. A great player.

Doc was also still extremely athletic which not only helped him in all phases on the offensive side of the ball but also on defense. Doc was a great all around player.🔥

NICE mid-range game? I grew up in Philly, Doc was an incredible shooter out to as far as 18-20 feet - he wasn't a 3-point shooter, but you're right Julius Erving's shooting is NEVER emphasized, which really is a shame - he was a great play-maker (passer) as well - a lot of NBA fans don't know this because they didn't see Doc play 60-plus times a year like we did here in Philadelphia

Its really funny how people think due to recency bias..Dr j was the first and only planetary bb icon for a full decade(70s till early 80s) compared only to MJ in terms of fame,excitmnent,influence over others and sold out stadiums(all visiting games Dr J was selling out).. a 25 ppg Kobe or Harden with 45 fg% are considered better shooters than a 24.8 ppg with 50.6 FG% Dr J..regarding rebounds,blocks and steals(7th all time) not even close, while DrJ has sligthly less assists per game from Kobe(4.2 to 4.8) without the ball in his hands all the time(always played as part of a rotation of options in Philly , best treated as first among another 2 or 3 equals)! Same exact ignorance about Bob Mcadoo vs Noviski or Duncan or Garnett..the man was defintely a better prime offensive player with 3 consecutive over 30ppg league scoring titles with 50.3 fg career ,mvps and rings period! if prime Bob was playing now he would be deemed exactly like KD..

I'm interested to see the rebuild period between John Havlicek's 70s Celtics and Bird's 80s Celtics. It's weird to think that a guy who played with Bill Russel retired only a few years before Larry Bird got there. And yet people say the 60s and 70s were filled with plumbers, sure alot were but without a doubt any all time great can play in any era, and John Havlicek and Dr. J are certainly some of the all time greats.

NBA put all their hopes into Dr.J to change basketball , more physical entertainment rather than pure fundamentals, offense rather than defense. NBA really protected thier franchise player Dr.J. If defender just breathed on him it was a foul.
