[King Jane]

would get bodied in tha d-league with that physique in todays game he look weak af :biggums:

[lilteapot]

He's still in great shape for his age

[LAZERUSS]

He looks like he could still play, too.

The 30-for-30 on Doc was brilliant BTW.

IMHO, a peak Dr. J was capable of what he put up in the '76-77 post-season, and Finals.

A playoff run of 27.3 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 4.5 apg, and on a .523 FG%. He was even more outstanding in the Finals that year, posting a 30.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 5.0 apg, .543 FG% series.

There's a Doc 30 for 30?

Last NBA related 30 for 30 I seen was the Knicks.

[Done_And_Done]

Yeah I need to get on that 30/30

Heard about it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Wish I could have watched him live.

[IncarceratedBob]

This dude is wearing CHUCKS to ball out. What a freaking clown, if you can't afford J's then at least rock some Didas or Reebs.

Thanks for the link.

I like the Rucker league films of the Doc, but are those even real? There's a shot of the Doc taking an acrobatic bank shot jumper with a camera angle from above..How is that possible? And I never saw Rucker league films of the Doc 'till that NBA TV film of Doc came out last year.

I also like what Moses said, which pretty much confirms what I've been saying here, that the 76ers were Doc's team and always will be. In 1983, Moses was the engine, but Doc was the heart and soul of the team, and he was the unquestioned leader of the group.

All in all, 6 Finals appearances for the Doc(ABA and NBA), and 3 wins. Three(3) MVPS and he had his team in contention every year of his playing career proves Doc's resume matches up with any forward in basketball history.

Happy birthday to the #3 GOAT SF and top15 all-time player.

Why post a pic of young Doc when he almost signed with the Hawks, though?

Would jam it on your favorite player...

[Round Mound]

Was about to open this thread. Great video :applause: . The Doc was one of the best all around players (except jumper) ever and probably the 1st true gilder and modern dunker in basketball history.

Feel bad for Dr. J, guy had to sell all of his assets including his personal memorabilia after he went broke a few years ago
