NBA - Julius Erving - Custom Basketball Jersey

Julius Winfield Erving II (Nassau County, New York), February 22, 1950, widely known by the nickname Dr. J, is a former American basketball player. Erving has made a major contribution to modern basketball, where athleticism, jumping, and playing above the rim have become increasingly important. Erving was in 1976, at the time of the merger with the NBA, the best-known player in the American Basketball Association (ABA). He won, in ABA and NBA combined, three championships and four Most Valuable Player Awards. In three seasons he led the scoring list. He did so while playing for the Virginia Squires and the New York Nets in the ABA, and the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA. He ranks fifth all-time in professional basketball scoring with 30,026 points (NBA and ABA combined). He is the only player to have been named Most Valuable Player in both the ABA and the NBA. In 1996 Erving was honored as one of the 50 greatest NBA players of all time, a list compiled that year to celebrate the NBA’s 50th anniversary. In 1993 he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Erving was one of the greatest basketball players ever. He was known for his dunk from the free-throw line. He was one of the best dunkers of all time. His most famous dunk was the "slam" dunk. Since then this move has grown into a staple term in basketball and is seen by most as a fundamental part of the game. He is also credited with the creation of the "crossover" dribble and the "no-look" pass. This concerns a beautiful custom retro jersey signed in black by Julius Dr. Erving.
