What's your favorite Dr. J memory? 🎧: sprtspod.fox/Ep.57

[@sharesecombs3931]

Watching him in " The Fish that saved Pittsburg"😊💕

[@TheMeefive]

The two they just talked about. Seeing those plays on the day they took place, as a kid, those are memories that stay with you for a lifetime.

[@VICTOR-py7hn]

Watching Dr. J Converse commercials! "Hey hey Dr. J, where you get them moves and are you you wearing magic shoes!!"😂🤣😅only old heads die hard Dr.J fans will remember that commercial Shay Shay!!👟👟👟

Every moment Shannon you gotta get him on the show

Dunking on Kareem and behind the backboard shot

[@borism8936]

Dr J is an immortal, dude was poetry in motion and set the standard for what a NBA superstar is all about

[@yo3rdtier128]

Yeah, for back in the day. He would come off the bench in today’s NBA. He had no jumper. All that poetry won’t matter, with a 3 smacked in his face. Your generation is over old man

[@shulestuff]

Dr. J - my all time favorite player

[@cyrahomega]

Dr. J is like Abraham. All our favorite players talk about him like this.

[@Wondertroy1TV]

I had the honor of meeting Magic Johnson and Dr J…. Total class acts .. Two of the greatest in my opinion!!!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Magic is just one of those dudes that I could listen to talk about basketball all day. How can you not like Magic?

[@Polo34]

The GOAT! Nobody put the whole sport on his shoulders like when he entered. Stats, chips don’t matter when an athlete performs for the sake of the sport.

[@stephenmauriellomortgage]

Magic is just a great story teller!! Dr J, Magic & Kobe my Top 3 favorites by a mile.

[@dominicbonarrigo6502]

Magic has lived an incredible life.

[@bancroftgroves2021]

For all you Jordan fans, the doctor did all that before Jordan.. Doctor j is The Godfather of modern day basketball and Michael Jordan will agree!!💯

[@thomasharris5151]

Dr J was the face of the league for a while too… he was the first dunker that had style

[@weneeda5th]

DR. J certified legend. One of the greatest in the NBA. THE greatest in the ABA. Do you homework.

[@Awalker5000]

Julius "Dr. J." Irving was an absolute legend, he did some moves on the basketball court that Michael Jordan could not do... Just an incredible player, and humanitarian!

[@gm2407]

Magic no doubt has been very fortunate in getting that oportunity, sounds like it was a huge foundational experience for him and set his decision to turn pro into stone. Same again with his solid relationship with Dr Buss. Really sounds like a great friendship and mentorship.

[@ephantusg6494]

This is what mentorship can do to change a young man’s life. Lots of athletes that become broke after getting caught in the high life and retiring. Glad that Dr.J took time and his financials to impact magic life. Magic has in turn changed communities with his investment!!

[@blackurustrikes2328]

I and college friends of mine watched Dr. J's around the backboard shot in 1980. To this day it's easily one of most exciting plays I have ever seen. Every single dude I knew who played basketball was trying to replicate that shot.

[@Cynsham]

that baseline move is so iconic

[@MrPiccalo3000]

I can see why Isaiah and Magic are friends. They both know how to tell a good story

[@BlueCollar1212]

Dr J isn’t talked about enough I feel like.

[@cocopuff6810]

U are right

Magic & Shannon great athletes ; Incredible people , these two gentlemen are class acts ! Love the terrific stories ... 🏀😃👍

[@melrock6356]

I love listening to these Brothas regardless how long their paper has gotten they still sound like themselves. Shout out to my €ountry Legends 💯👌

[@tonyray7546]

They’ll never be another Dr. J, by far the most exciting player of all time. It was a era of real men playing. Now it looks college ball at best.

[@shantoochee2038]

man Magic is such a great storyteller 😂

[@kristinemunholland8980]

That's amazing. I'm from Philly, grew up an ardent Sixers' fan. Can't believe Doc had Magic to his home during the playoffs. Makes me wonder how other many stories like this exist that we don't know about. Sadly, I was at that final game 7 mos. later when the Lakers beat us on our home court, right behind the basket. I can see Magic smiling from ear to ear. Great story, thanks for sharing.

[@MA_808]

I was friends who were integrally involved with an NBA team and they related to me that Dr. J was considered the best player in the league by the other players.

[@JamesTechJackin]

Dr J was amazing!!!

[@TheTurtle1100]

That was a dope clip. Funny and serious. Magic talking about just standing and watching him play lol Dr J was the original goat from what I understand

[@kingstonban]

He is the godfather of modern day basketball💯👑

[@tallsmile28]

Dr. J was the ambassador of the NBA before Magic and Bird carried the torch.

[@VICTOR-py7hn]

Dr. J is All Time Great Hall of Famer and is in my All Time Top 5!🏀Shay Shay call the Doctor and interview him, it would be classic dude!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is like the 2 cool uncle's kicking it at the cookout! I'm from the same city that Magic is from... He was a definite inspiration even tho I was a Pistons fan. Every Sunday it was either LA vs. Boston or a double header & they both played.

[@Aluvsloans]

[@lavonteprince7505]

I love this show man, he really is the best in the game because it's really a uncle giving wisdom and learning also, I really love and appreciate real talking and sharing memories most people dream of

[@davidmalik9821]

Shows you why this is my fave NBA player. He had so much respect for the game and the players in it. What a great clip! BTW, that final game of his rookie year is why I call him the greatest NBA player I have ever seen. Who does that during their rookie year WITHOUT arguably the greatest player at the time playing the game, The Captain. Love Magic!

[@Nix-7741]

Sorry to all the Curry fans but Magic is the Greatest PG in NBA history. If it wasn't for his disease he would've been unanimous GOAT

[@hughkla3]

Me and my friends watched that shot and it took our breath away the idea that he thought of a way to make that shot clearly call the Lakers off guard. The Lakers did everything right they cut him off with the baseline and he still made the shot legally but illegal to gravity
