NBA - Julius Erving - Custom Basketball Jersey

Julius Winfield Erving II (Nassau County, New York), February 22, 1950), commonly known by the nickname Dr. J, is a former American basketball player. Erving made a major contribution to modern basketball, in which athleticism, jumping, and playing above the rim became increasingly important. Erving was in 1976, at the time of the merger with the NBA, the most famous 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 is the fifth-highest scorer in professional basketball history with 30,026 points (NBA and ABA combined). He is the only player to be named MVP in both the ABA and the NBA. In 1996 Erving was honored as one of the 50 greatest NBA players of all time, on a list created that year to mark the NBA's 50th anniversary. In 1993 he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Erving was one of the best basketball players ever. He was known for his free-throw line dunk. 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 common term in basketball and is seen by most as a fundamental part of the game. He is also credited with inventing the cross-over dribble and the no-look pass.
