HD Highlights of Julius 'Dr. J' Erving

Arguably one of the best dunkers in NBA/ABA history, Dr. J epitomized dunking into an art of creativity coupled with power. This video is a tribute to some of his best career highlights.

Everyone talks about Dr. J’s dunks but his layups are my personal favorites. I think the Doctor has the sweetest layup of all time. Soft as a feather.

What younger folks gotta remember, players today have a lot of reference points to develope their game around. Dr J, was doing this, and most of it, hadn't been done. This was just him reacting. Don't sleep on Julius Ervin. His legend moniker is earned.

In the air, no one was more elegant and graceful than the Doctor.

the clip where dr j dunked and magic Johnson hugged his legs and held him in order that dr j would not possibly fall afterwards.... that is class and respect.

Dr. J will always be my favorite basketball player, thanks for taking the time out of your day to talk to a immature twenty two year old kid, a memory that this forty year old immature man will cherish forever.

Doc was the most artistic professional bb player who ever played...some may have score more points in their careers ..but Julius Erving was the most creative of all times...

The way the Dr could palm that ball.. amazing. you could not help but be amazed how how great he was.

You can definitely tell Michael Jordan got a lot of his moves from Dr Jay

[JotaPn]

The father of the modern basket NBA player.

Unpopular opinion: Dr.J is the best NBA player. He can dunk like a center on other players but throw some intense shoots. He kept NBA alive at the '80s.

[jmbauzo]

How he controlled the ball while he was dancing in the air?... Dr. J, simply the best.

[macarthurclutch]

If Doc wanted to dunk on you, he would and there wasn't anything you could do about it.

[Bogie]

I was blessed to be alive during his peak. And he is still my favorite player of all time....on and off the court. Pure class.

I met Dr J, Game 7 of the 1981 eastern conf finals with Boston. The Man is, and was amazing. Watching him in my youth gave me the ability to try harder at life. Resect Dr J

[fredcapolongo]

Doctor J was the man. He was the greatest

[kwaichangshane]

Notice how Doc never made it about himself, scored and got back on D.Class act forever!

[Twiz]

It was like Doc just walked on air when he dunked...and it was effortless

[darwinudtuhan]

Magic Johnson was a good gentle man guy. And he waited Dr. J dropped in front of him he hold and catches him. Instead of bad fall respect. 🌹🙏

Awe-inspiring, majestic, creative and transcendent of the sport itself. Dr J remains for me the most exciting player the sport has seen--a pioneer, a powerful presence and a classy ambassador for the game.

Dr. J is probably the most graceful player of all time. Could there be a more awkward position to shoot from than at 1:52? Yet he somehow makes even that look elegant. Such a pleasure to watch.
