For some reason Erving is somewhat slighted now when most people talk about the games greatest players....The Doctor was the original!
And looking back at his last NBA AllStar game last night on ESPN classic was very enjoyable...
The NBA was much more balanced when Erving's Sixers were battling LA, BOS, HOU, MIL , and Portland...
That Sixers late 70's early 80's era team of Erving, Moses Malone, Bobby Jones, Henry Bibby, Andrew Toney, Doug Collins, George McGinnis, and Darryl Dawkins should have won more than one ring...Moses finally put them over the hump...
Dr J was so graceful and made his dunks look so ridiculously easy, yet when the modern day dunkers were asked to immitate the dunks of his a few years ago in the NBA Dunk Contest, most couldn't come close...
