Sixers - NBA Basketbal - Julius Dr. Erving - Basketball

Julius Winfield Erving II (Nassau County, New York, February 22, 1950), widely known by the nickname Dr. J, is a former American basketball player. Erving made a major contribution to modern basketball, in which athleticism, jumping, and playing above the level of the basket became increasingly important.

In 1976, when the ABA merged with the NBA, Erving was the best-known player in the American Basketball Association (ABA). He won a total of three championships and four Most Valuable Player Awards in the ABA and NBA combined. He led the scoring charts in three seasons, while playing for the Virginia Squires and the New York Nets in the ABA, and the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA. With 30,026 points (ABA and NBA combined), he is the fifth-highest scorer in professional basketball history. He is the only player to have been named Most Valuable Player in both the ABA and the NBA. In 1996, Erving was honored as one of the 50 Greatest NBA Players of All Time, a list compiled that year to mark the NBA's 50th anniversary. In 1993, he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Erving was one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He was known for his dunk from the free-throw line. He was one of the greatest dunkers of all time. His most famous dunk was the “slam dunk.” Since then, this move has become a fixture in basketball and is considered by most to be a fundamental part of the game. He is also credited with popularizing the “crossover” dribble and the “no-look” pass.
