Zinkoff was an original and genuine. Today's PA announcers would be much better off to just call the game in a straight-up professional style, without trying to get cute. There will never be another Dave Zinkoff.

The way he introduced the 6ers and Doc will always be the shit !!

The great ZINK!

I remember this game and exactly where I was when I watched it. Big sixer fan back then bc of Julius, my favorite all time player. Too bad they lost against NJ. No repeat for doc. Just a little piece of my childhood.

Julius ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRVINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sixer fan since 1979 . All I can say is goosebumps !!!!!

76'ers was my team back then.....this announcer was hilarious! Loved him.

I still don't know his they lost in the 1st round to the Nets.

Great memories, All Star ABA starting lineup

I used to look forward to Sixers games on TV, just for the announcer. I always got chills when he introduced, "From the University of Massachusetts, number 6, Julius Errrrrvinng." When he finished the intro, I would Lose it. Loved my Sixers. Seeing this brought back memories, Especially seeing Andrew Toney. Back before he started college he used to shoot ball in the neighborhood park in Birmingham, Alabama. He used to attend the old Glenn High School, which no longer exists. He used to be unguardable because he could shoot from anywhere, kinda like how Steph Curry does now. Loved watching him play because he Hated the Celtics, which is when he had some of his best games. That was the reason that they used to call him, "The Boston Strangler." 😅

And from the university of Massachusetts wearing Number 6 Julius The Doctor Ervvvving. Man time sure does fly. Miss those days.

The Zink was uniquely Philadelphia. One of a kind.

One of the 🐐 Goats Announcers

Zink’s voice got me excited when I see a 76ers home game on TV. If he wasn’t in the NBA Hall of Fame, he deserves it

Don't forget that organ

Home PA announcers say Kyrie Irving’s last name the same way as Dr. J & I hate that shut every time I hear it. Supposed to be reserved for the Doc OnLY

Ever yes sir only guy who made you want to hear the players names announced

I get chills listening to Zink.

I loved David Zinkoff who in my opinion had quite a colorful style of announcing

I was fortunate enough to experience Flyers and sixers playoff games in the Spectrum a place that held around 21,000 that sounded more like 61,000. Legendary....

2 minutes left in this balllllllllllllllllllllgame!

2 for Shue!

I would tape games and just get elated and chills if the broadcast would include zinckoffs intros usually on cable they were included on WOR when cable and VHS tape was starting out --- it was such a highlight collecting Zinks introductions !!! 🌟🌟🌟 Errrrrrvingg !! 🌟🌟🌟

Mr Jones, it was well worth the view. It was just as you said. Peace. Thank you for this classic post.

And a devastating loss to the Nets and Sugar Ray

Gives you goosebumps hearing this. So cool.

Zinkoff and John Condon at MSG were the best!

The Greatest Ever! He was incredible!!!!!!!

When I first heard him announce like that back in the day I was like, “Why’s he talking like that?” He’d scream and suddenly go to his inside voice. Talking fast and then drawing out his words. Then I realized that was his style. I hated when I was watching on TV and couldn’t hear his announcements. A unique part of league history. RIP, Zink.

NBA was the best in 70s and eighties....incredible personalities, Coaches and legendary P A announcers like Philly and the knicks The Spectrum#Memories Bill Buckhead Ga

To this very day, I still get chills every time I hear Dave Zinkoff do pre-game intros!

Zink was something.

DAVE ZINKOFF The best that ever done it...

Teary eyed reliving it

Three best PA Announcers Dave Zinkoff Sixers, Lawrence Tanter Lakers and Red Clay Bulls.

Freeeeeeeeeeee.....

Celtics fan here. This guy was the best PA announcer hands down. Julius Errrrrrrr-ving! I got to hear him a lot during the playoffs as a kid...and the Spectrum was a fantastic venue.

Big Laker fan here but this p.a announcer is the Truth

"Cheeks!"

LFG🇨🇦

⚡⚡⚡😆

Road trip won all 5 games in the series

Classic…I hated the sixers and Celtics in those day,since I was a lakers fan,i would swear the sixers were cheating all the time

From the University of Massachusetts "THE DOCTOR" #6 Julius Errrrrrrrrviiiiiiiig,no one ever announced "Dr J" name better than The Spectrum's "ZINKOFF"... SIXERS FOR LIFE!!!!!

“JULIUS EEEERVING!”

Where was THE DOCTOR?

Bro I loved this dude

The Zink was the best of the best! He even made my grouchy dad smile😃

Now that was a squad🙌🏾💯

I still can't believe they lost this series to the Nets!
