10 Greatest Julius Erving Moments(REACTION) THIS MAN DUNKS ON EVERYBODY!!!!

[@Steppinkp]

I’m 70 years old. Dr. J is my all time favorite Basketball Player period. There’s a VHS tape on Julius Erving a must see showing him one on one it’s unbelievable how good he was in his prime. He also had a midrange and long range shooting ability. 🙏

Appreciate the comment my guy

[@brucescott4261]

@Steppinkp ...I'm in my 'seventies, too! Born and raised in The Apple! I concur, totally!!!

[@drewcrew2101]

53 here and Doc will always be my favorite athlete of all time. He was a beast on the court and a gentleman off. His impact was incredible for the NBA and is loved by all. Only time I got emotional to see any player retire in 86 at Milwaukee.

[@oldsch001tothebone5]

26 points and 20 boards were in college, but DJ was incredible, and is forgotten by this generation, he was why people tuned in to watch the NBA.

[@dunsonhouse]

Facts he was incredible my guy appreciate the comment

@@dunsonhouse I was a soccer fan until one day ,a friend of mine was watching some old school basketball games & I saw him play for the 1st time.The man's a Basketball legend.

Doctor J had a badass mid-range game....... He was a master mid-range off the glass

[@dunsonhouse]

Facts appreciate the comment

[@oldsch001tothebone5]

Facts, he had that 15 ft shot off the glass, years before Tim Duncan was known for it.

[@danreed5171]

@@oldsch001tothebone5 Dr. J did his best Wilt Chamberlin fade away.......and did it well

[@liteskinnedbobbybrown6256]

What makes THE LAYUP so special is that Doc picked the ball up off the dribble while never using his off hand! He did the same thing with the Rock the Baby dunk over Coop.He stole the ball,cuffed it off the dribble & never used his off hand to brace the ball and slammed it through!

[@bobbyscarfo2544]

Julius "Dr. J" Erving was my idol as a kid in 1976. This man literally impacted my life as a human being. The way he carried himself on and off the court, he had style, grace, humility, and he was dominate on the court..... DOMINATE! He is, and always will be respected throughout the NBA community. And for the record....Bird and Magic didn't save the NBA..... The Doctor did when the ABA merged with the NBA.... facts. There was just alot of hype around Bird and Magic coming into the NBA.....Julius was already waiting on them.....

[@aramhamparian9641]

Dr. J is my favorite player of all time. I saw him play in the old ABA with the NY Nets at the Nassau Coliseum back when I was a teenager way back when. He was possibly the most dominant player I saw in that league which had great players and Hall Of Famers who later came into the NBA once the league folded. Great upload dude...

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate that my guy dr.I was a beast

[@reyybarra390]

Guys, remember this. Everything DR. J did on the court at that time was NEW! His pure athletic ability CHANGED the game and NBA forever!! Nobody had ever seen someone jump from the foul line and slam dunk a ball like Julius did, no one! He annihilated everyone who guarded him and his viscios one arm dunks demoralized his opponents!!! He reinvented basketball!!!!

[@irishgrl]

Dr J! So athletic! And a classy person. I have tons of respect for this man. In his day, he was a superstar. To me he was MJ b4 MJ was MJ if that makes sense. As a Larry Bird fan, I felt Dr J & his 76ers gave the Celtics a tougher workout than the Lakers, (tho I do like how Magic brought out Larry’s competitive nature). By the time the Celtics faced the West Coast, they were plenty bruised.

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment ✊🏽

[@mannyneva1760]

Doc is top 10 all time and the reason todays fans don’t know is cause they didn’t see ABA merger Doc. They say doc could put and take a ;quarter off the top of the backboard when he was young.

[@dunsonhouse]

That’s wild appreciate the comment my guy

[@TokDMajEsty]

Can we discuss the false narrative that todays defense is better than back then because it’s not. Today in the NBA nobody plays defense and just lets everybody go free in the paint, especially with the all star game sucking horribly now.

[@yojustmatt]

🔥🔥

[@panayotiscanellopoulos8696]

MJ is a copy-paste version of Dr. J. Erving (he was his idol)..... MJ is an evolution of Dr. J. playing (and more successful) :-) Dr. J was an evolution of basketball as a sport and got it to a higher level..... so beautiful to watch him play.

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment my guy

[@kingstonban]

Absolutely facts my guy!!💯💯

[@jackastor5265]

Dr. J was the MJ before MJ and if you watch how smooth and athletic Dr. J was you will see that mirrored later in MJ's style of play. Jordan's sick layup package and strong moves to the hoop are just a natural extension of Dr. J's game. What I'm saying is, Dr. J was the prototype, he was the blueprint, so that someone like MJ could come along later.

[@dunsonhouse]

Facts appreciate the comment my guy

[@TheIcemanthomas]

Most of Mj’s game came from David Thompson actually. But Dr j definitely had major influence on mj too.

[@brucescott4261]

​@TheIcemanthomas ...False!

[@ricshaffer4009]

We gotta be real here...they show Doc , big mo , little mo and Andrew toney...but the 4th Hall of Famer on that team and 1st 6th man of the year and certainly a top 5 defensive player all time who shoot 57% for his carrer...NBA legend Bobby Jones

[@SayGahTaah]

Name your top 5 dunkers of all time. The mountain that they would be carved on would be Doc Mountain.

[@daylocke6181]

The 26 points 20 rebounds was college

[@TokDMajEsty]

I can’t believe Dr. J posterizing Magic Johnson wasn’t on here

[@dorshamlton]

The greatest

Great vid. You spelled "gaurd" wrong. It's GUARD.

[@dunsonhouse]

Thank you my guy appreciate the comment

[@yesdex5996]

Magic Johnson, Larry bird, Akeem , Vinny Johnson there were lots of guys he was just good

[@jameslevister1522]

You should react to " what's up doc " Dr j highlights. Way more highlights than talking you will see how crazy he really was.

[@1967grimreaper]

Was the first player with a shoe deal

[@palermotrapani9067]

Walton was listed at 6-11 but I think he was more like 7-0 if Kareem was 7-2. I think Walton being kind of a hippie pot smoker thought being listed at 7-0 was kind of weird.

[@arssome1452]

83 6ers is one of the all time great teams. doctor j, mvp Moses, Mo Cheeks, Andrew Toney, Caldwell and Bobby Jones they had wars with the celtics in the playoffs every year. Bird vs J was almost better than Bird vs magic. you cannot go wrong with eastern conf finals in 81 or 82 they were magical and tell a story if you watch it all.

[@dunsonhouse]

Definitely watch it appreciate the comment ✊🏽

[@SayGahTaah]

The East was by far the more competitive conference. Don't forget the Pistons were right there too becoming the bad Boys and those underrated bucks teams.

[@richardDara-ot9zp]

No the league and the streets were definitely not soft back in Julius Erving's days it was rough young Bros.

0:28 underrated they talk about Michael Jordan LeBron James and Kobe Bryant in my opinion dog should be ahead of Kobe Bryant in my opinion dog should be ahead of Kobe Bryant it was a better all-around player a better teammate and he retired top 5 in every statistic

[@millsskinner]

young brother they never did that

[@buckstraw925]

Not a great shooter but better than he was given credit for. He could knock down a 20ft jump shot for sure.

[@GarbageLies]

they wanted Dr, J most people was talking about the high flyers in the ABA and NBA was a little boring

[@millsskinner]

that was college

[@herbertlewis3105]

20 points and 20 rebounds was done at the college level--not the NBA.

[@angelojohnson3948]

20 and 20 in college anyway there wasn't even a real league ABA had 8 teams NBA 10. Mostly under 6ft.

[@brucescott4261]

@angelojohnson3948 ...False!

[@Mottleydude1]

Rate Dr. J? You can’t rate Dr. J. At basketball. Dr. J was above us mere mortals to judge. Are there other players who were better than Dr.J by objective metrics. Probably but it’s not about him dominating, which he could and did. It was what Dr. J brought to the league. You have to keep some things in context. Of the basketball players I’ve seen in over 50 years of watching the NBA the only player I can say matches Dr. J the most in talent, skill and ability is Jordan. But the problem with comparing them is they played different positions. I guess what I’m saying is Dr. J played as at high a level as Jordan but the Doc had a unique style and ease of effort and he was a master of deception. Doc wasn’t just a high flying show off, though man could he show and do inhuman things. As did Jordan. I mean when you watch these old highlight reels you get none of the ebb and flow of the game and how the plays are set up. It’s like comparing high art. What’s the point. Sit back and be prepared to be amazed cause both would do. Just in different ways. What Dr. J’s real accomplishment was he brought style and artistry and playfulness and street cred into the league. What y’all had in the NBA at that time were great athletes and owners who wanted to play unimaginative but well disciplined professional sport. In other words it was BaF. Doc changed all that and they way the game was played changed forever. He also put azzes into seats and in front of the TV when the NBA was going broke, Doc carried the league for about five years (not to mention he carried the ABA for five years) and he made the game far more fun for fans then it ever had been before. So yea…Dr J was just one of those players you can’t judge. Others may have greater accomplishments but no one was cooler than Doc.
