I’m glad you gave this context. Dr. J was a class act and outside of Kareem, Magic, Bird and the young flyer for the Bulls, the were the bright spots. The NBA was so fucked up that live games were on tape delay with CBS. Doc carried two leagues and got to the Sixers and still gave the paying fans a show. Very classy guy that Jordan studied and quickly learned that the world was watching. My first ball was an anniversary ABA red, white & blue basketball.
They Keep Forgetting Everybody I Mean Everybody in the 70s Seen Dr J as A Superhero it’s No Player in History Of Sports that Was 😎 Cooler or Had more Class Than the Dr 100% Facts
BIRD DOES NOT HAVE THE CLASS OR SOPHISTICATION THAT THE GOOD CLASSY DR HAS. DRJ IE JULIUS ERVING. BIRD IS A HICK FROM FRENCH LICK I SWEAR. HE ISFROM FRENCH LICK INDIANA.LOOK IT UPIAM A REAL BIG BIG BIG BODTON FAN AND I LOVE LARRY BIRD MORE THAN ANYBODY EVEN THOUGH I LIVED IN L.A CALIF THROUGH OUT TH80'S AND THE BIG RIVARLY BETWEEN THE CELTICS AND THOSE LOS ANGELES LAKERS I ROOTED FOR BOSTON THE BIG GREEN MACHINE. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE LEGENDARY DR.J HE IS A REAL CLASS ACT. LARRY IS A FARMER WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO FARMERS SALUTE.
The NBA didn't even broadcast on main channels, If I remember VHF, the NBA was relegated to UHF in the 70's- early 80's. When Dr J played the NBA didn't even warrant prime time TV. I was born early 66 and that's how I remember it. I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think many others did that are alive today. Dr. J WAS seen as a superhero in his day, especially when he left the ABA for the NBA. His best years were in the ABA though. He was past his prime when he joined the NBA.
Yes 💯% what he said..some liked Spiderman or batman..I liked Dr.J!! I just wish they'd put some respect on the unbelievable things he accomplished in the ABA in his 1st 5 yrs or so..n why hasn't any1 ever acknowledged the unfair expectations that were placed on his shoulders because he over exceeded their expectations by bringing the sixers 2 the finals in his 1st yr in the NBA?!Doc just like Iverson took Philly to the finals by himself n Magic n Bird had a gang of help from the very moment they entered the NBA!!! By 81 the Sixers were just starting 2 shape n2 the juggernaut of the fo,fo,fo Sixers that slapped up n swept everybody!!let Doc had that team in his 1st yr in 77 n trust me jordan would've really been doing his best Doctor rendition cuz Doc would've won 6 strait time as he fell in the NBA dig me?yep a young Doc Moses Bobby jones,Toney n Cheeks would've locked shit down n allat Bird n Magic talk would been a dead issue...long live The Doctor!!
Moses dominated Kareem during that series, I can still remember when they were actually about the winning Maurice peach went down and don't come on at the end of the game which he never does, adrenaline excitement and I was glad to see Dr J get his just due, winning a" Chip"
It was soooo exciting to watch dr j play and when that left arm stuck out like a airplane blade u knew a mean dunk was coming with it..i still smile even after all these years of replays 🏀
If I had to pick I take by rank over mj. 1 Meadowlark Lemon 2 Goose Tatum. 3 Wilt chamberlain 4 Pistol Pete Maravich 5 Elgin Baylor 6 Julius Erving 7 Nate Thurmond the most underrated player in my opinion. 8 Bill Russell and others.
You think Sixers won the game? The same Sixers that won the championship the previous year against the Bulls who were so good they got to pick Jordan at #3? No way! Really!!!!!????? 🤡
This isn't quite MJ's first game against the Doctor as a rookie. Jordan did admit the first time the Bulls played against the 76ers he was a bit nervous. In that particular game rookie MJ went 4 for 17 from the field😳
1:59 The way Mike floats sideways after jumping straight up is bonkers. Hang Time Michael! Watch how he swings his right leg over to the left while in mid-Air. His Airness.
Maybe you should watch the way Dr J, cuff the ball with one hand, and did windmill slam dunk on the Lakers in the championship game. Dr J, had hang time, he was the first player to dunk from the foul line, reverse dunks, hang in the air, all that, that is one of the reasons the NBA, took players from the ABA, the ABA, was more exciting with high flying dunks, with David Thompson, and DrJ.
I will make a Star Wars reference here Dr.J was Obi Won Konobi and MJ was Luke Skywalker here but in the swing of things in total Dr.J was Gui Gun Jin that schooled and taught MJ that became Oni Won and in turn he went to school and mentored Kobe that became Luke Skywalker.The Force was Strong with all Three of them and that they "Forever" changed the game and took it to "New Heights" it gets no more poetic than that.
Interesting....mj credits david Thompson as the one he took game from. Along with his own brother (plays just like mj, just smaller). Dooku = Dr j Qui gon = walter davis Obi wan = David Thompson "skywalker" Anakin = MJ Ahsoka = kobe (anakin Padawan) Luke = LeBron
@@brucescott4261 That wasn't even necessary, I don't go back and forth with people that I don't know on social media, you make one comment and people wanna call you out your name, very immature
This game is like when Kobe went against Jordan years later. Jordan was the future in this game. Dr J. was the past. Years later Kobe was the future, Jordan was the past. Crazy how the table turn in the game of basketball.
Different kind of players…the dr. More athleticism….yes…natural athleticism…..offensive…Jordan best all round player ever and drive to win the best ever. In my humble opinion….if your a basketball fan love them both
Probably looked that way because jordan was a little shorter than his official 6'6 height. He was probably closer 6'4. Barkley was definitely shorter than he was listed as well.
I actually had photos from that game. I was a huge Philly fan growing up. A friend of mine was stationed at Naval Station Philadelphia, he attended the game, shot photos, with MJ, Doc and Charles. He sent the photos to me aboard The USS Comstellation. The same day I received his letter, with the photos, I lost the photos on the ship. I'm still hot about that to this day!!
Heh, was just lamenting to meself the same thing a few minutes ago. Julius Erving and Scottie Pippen had the biggest hands and arm reach I've ever seen in the NBA! (MJ's hands/arms were formidable too, but there was one move Pip could do that Jordan couldn't: Pip could jump inbounds behind the backboard and dunk it while inbound; MJ couldn't do that.)
You know you played a very long career if you played against Dr J and kobe Bryant, kobe was probably no older than a pre schooler when this game took place.
besides the Magnificent Dr J, well play against Magic with Kareem, Bird with McHale and Parish, Gary Payton with Shawn Kemp, Hardaway with Shaq, Malone with Stockton, Barkely with Kevin Johnson plus stars like Mutombo, Wilkins, Pat Ewing, Admiral Robinson, Impressive Smooth Sniper left hander like Chris Mullin, one Marvelous Clyde Drexler, Alonzo Mourning, K. Bryant, Paul Pierce (MJ in the wizards) and of course one incredible Allen Iverson, even batlle against a Wild partner Bull like Dennis Rodman for a little while when him was part of Detroit Bad Boys..........so when you has faced that big one Stars challenges all over in your career you dont got a long but a Succesful Wonderful career that made U just the GOAT!!!!
@@nicedoppy2077 and your comment made you the rookie ,he played against those people and couldn't beat many of them including bird magic and Isaiah in their prime So your statement is simply immature repetition of a rookie ,he doesn't even have more rings than Jabbar so stick with the facts and stop mindlessly repeating gibberish because it makes yourself look ridiculous !The best you can say is that he was the best of his time not all time and during his time he still couldn't beat a number of players So see please cease and desist with those comments for your own reputation if you even care rookie
At the end of this video when they announced the score, I think this was the game from Jan 30, 1987; Philly vs. Chicago / Score: 121 - 112 with the 76ers winning this particular game.
Can't be a goat when you've lost nine times in the finals and couldn't beat bird magical Isaiah retool your brain because it's off got it? get it!! Rookie and you don't even know it smh grow up
i think that the whole debate is nothing but bs..MJ is the someone who was able to pick from where DrJ and David Thompson left,while Dr J where Elgin Baylor and Connie Hawkins left..their statline shows clearly that Mj has an edge on scoring whitch is not something that someone like Dr J could not achieve if determined to play 23-25 fga per game as Jordan did and anyway MJ was a sg in a small team with the ball in his hands while Dr J was A sf IN A contender with many co stars and less ball than mj..spare me the crap before hand because they had identical fg percent and both scored over 30000 points..regarding Steals,Blocks,Rebounds and Offensive rebounds Dr J is clearly a more dominant force most likely due to his 7.13 wingspan..
If you spread out your fingers and look from tip of thumb to tip of pinky, Julius' measured 11". That gave him incredible grip on a basketball. I liked how sometimes he would just catch the ball with one hand.
I'm a C's fan but that Philly team was incredible. I was a huge Dr J fan even if I bled green. He was such a spectacular player and class act. I got to see him play only once live, while he was at the U of Massachusetts. I knew he was going to be amazing. Here, he was no longer young, but still so graceful and athletic. And Andrew Toney was such a great shooter! He killed the Celtics. If he would have stayed healthy that team may have won another title or two.
Dr j never won shit he was no master, he lost to walton and the Trail Blazers in 77, he needed a big time super star like Moses Malone to finally help him get one ring!
MJ learned from DJ. It's a shame that these young guys don't give respect to the ballers that paved the way for them. MJ is no way the GOAT. I am 69 years old and saw most of the greats. The GOAT time was Wilton Norman Chamberlain. My two favorite players were Wilt and DR. J. Micheal was great but the game was changed because of Wilt's dominance. Dr. J use to talk about Connie Hawkins dunks. One game l remember when Connie was going after a loose ball and picked it up with his right hand. It looked like he was picking up a softball. He continued his dribble going towards the basket. He hid the ball behind his back as he was going up in the air. As he began to dunk he brought the ball from behind his back and dunked. Connie hands were bigger than Doc's and he was about 6'8". I give cudo's to MJ, Lebron, Kobe, and a few other greats, but Wilt is the GOAT and Dr. J had a style in his game that was second to none and MJ and others copied off of the Doctor.
Play styles are completely different. You never see Dr.J 3 dribble pullup or 1 dribble pullup jumper going left or right. They both can dunk that's about it. Jordan's game was way more advanced than doc's. Dr.J could barely dribble with his left hand. People only compared the 2 cause jordan could do the same dunks i.e. freethrow line dunk.
@@toddhanley6982Doc didn't have many of Jordan's offensive and none of his defensive skills. Just stop it. Doc didn't control the mid range J like Jordan did.
@@mpound97 Nor did he ever need to, by the time Doc lost a step he was done, he had no reason to hold on and adjust his game like Jordan. And dude IF you think he had no mid range you simply have NO CLUE what you're talking about and obviously saw NONE of his ABA games, when he was in his Actual Prime, esp the two finals runs. His mid game was NEVER faulty when he needed it, he pulled up from everywhere he needed to be and was reliable he just CHOSE to keep it a buck inside, like Kareem chose to keep his where he did. Reasonable opinion needs a more solid foundation than some clips here and there of one guy as opposed to watching dozens of games over another dudes career, which is why most dudes chatter on bball is noise
Cuando no vistes las dos épocas , puedo considerar que es un comentario justo ...pero yo que viví los 80 y 90 ... Puedo comparar y la diferencia es abismal ... Solo te dare un ejemplo ... LESIONES ... antes el juego era mas fisico y todas las estrellas o capitanes de equipo , como mucho , perdieron 5 juegos por temporada ... Hoy dia es mas una show como la wwe ...
@@elcanaldejohnbo-linemanpue3143 algunos jugaban asì, pero te puedo mencionar al mismo Barkley que no salìa de una lesiòn, asì muchos de ellos tambièn.
First season, if I'm not wrong, and Michael already playing high level basketball. The old ones on court was like.... Where da hell did this kid come from??
Look at Jordan’s iconic layup against the Lakers then look at Dr J’s iconic layup against the Lakers! There was no one even in the lane against Jordan and Dr J had to fly out of bounds and then back in bounds to finish the play! Those plays are the most prime examples of the difference after the ‘91 illegal defense rules David Stern parted the lane for Jordan. Before that Jordan was no better than Wilkins. Points and Dunks but no rings!!
what year was this ... i don't remember sir charles and the good DR J on the same team.. and especially charles and IRVING kyrie...um umn.. magic..um umn meant DR J playing aginst AIR JORDAN
Man MJ23 been handling his business, but man it looks like he's playing grown ass old men :) (he was, but damn) No way MJ23 and Dr.J both 6' 6" inches... Dr. J looks bigger taller to me... although both can hold the ball in 1 hand like a tennis ball... Dr. J appears to be taller and bigger... I gotta look up proportional stats. I still believe Kobe was slightly taller than MJ23 and Dr. J although I believe they are measured at 6' 6 inches
I knew Dr J and Larry Legend as a little white kid from Larry's neck o the woods, and Dr J was my favorite. Then Larry. Then MJ. He(MJ) is. The. GOAT. This video is priceless with two of the greatest duking it out.
So Charles barley played with Julius Irving? I heard Barkley on here and it made me wonder. I only got to see Barkley play when he was with the phoenix suns only
Julius Erving was at the end of his career. Most NBA fans alive now havent seen the real Dr. J when he was in the NBA and at his early career with the Sixers. Dubbed the 6 million dollar man when he left the Nets to the Sixers. He saved the NBA and the ABA went defunct merging with the NBA and really brought all the spectacular players to the NBA. Prior to that the NBA was drab.
@@reallydoe6061The casuals love saying Dr. J was Jordan's this and that. Uh, no. Besides the aerial shit, their games were nothing alike. You mentioned Mike's main guys in Thompson and his brother. Jordan had Thompson elect him on stage into the HOF.
Dr J was considered an old man during this time by NBA standards and still had the hops to pull off some spectacular dunks
grandpa dunked basically on jordan hahahhahha, great vid.two of the best.
NO NOT TRUE I LIVED ALL DR J JULIUS ERVING YEARS NO BODY EVER CONSIDERED HIM AN OLD MAN.
I wouldn't call the Dr. old at that time. He was still the best player on his team

Yep,he did most of his dominance in the ABA, but he was incredible
I think, Michael learned a lot from Julius,Like Kobe from him

Their games were nothing alike. Kobe and MJ were spot on.

When It All Said & Done! There With Never! Ever! I Don,t Give Damn Who You Bring Up! THE DOC! Doctor.J Julius Erving.Yes Goodlord! Mr.Fly Time.😎
So cool to see this - i was at the game!
MJ learned from DJ. It's a shame that these young guys don't give respect to the ballers that paved the way for them. MJ is no way the GOAT. I am 69 years old and saw most of the greats. The GOAT time was Wilton Norman Chamberlain. My two favorite players were Wilt and DR. J. Micheal was great but the game was changed because of Wilt's dominance. Dr. J use to talk about Connie Hawkins dunks. One game l remember when Connie was going after a loose ball and picked it up with his right hand. It looked like he was picking up a softball. He continued his dribble going towards the basket. He hid the ball behind his back as he was going up in the air. As he began to dunk he brought the ball from behind his back and dunked. Connie hands were bigger than Doc's and he was about 6'8". I give cudo's to MJ, Lebron, Kobe, and a few other greats, but Wilt is the GOAT and Dr. J had a style in his game that was second to none and MJ and others copied off of the Doctor.
Play styles are completely different. You never see Dr.J 3 dribble pullup or 1 dribble pullup jumper going left or right. They both can dunk that's about it. Jordan's game was way more advanced than doc's. Dr.J could barely dribble with his left hand. People only compared the 2 cause jordan could do the same dunks i.e. freethrow line dunk.
@@samuelhicks1268No, yoU never saw it obviously. Stop pretending you speak for actual experience because you saw some clips, he did it SEVERAL times.
FAX about Wilt
@@toddhanley6982Doc didn't have many of Jordan's offensive and none of his defensive skills. Just stop it. Doc didn't control the mid range J like Jordan did.
@@mpound97 Nor did he ever need to, by the time Doc lost a step he was done, he had no reason to hold on and adjust his game like Jordan. And dude IF you think he had no mid range you simply have NO CLUE what you're talking about and obviously saw NONE of his ABA games, when he was in his Actual Prime, esp the two finals runs. His mid game was NEVER faulty when he needed it, he pulled up from everywhere he needed to be and was reliable he just CHOSE to keep it a buck inside, like Kareem chose to keep his where he did. Reasonable opinion needs a more solid foundation than some clips here and there of one guy as opposed to watching dozens of games over another dudes career, which is why most dudes chatter on bball is noise
The other teammates are like wtf are we supposed i can't fly....😂😅
Please look up the definition of “1 on 1”.
Casi 40 años atrás ... Y pienso que no hay dos jugadores de ese calibre en la NBA de hoy día .. y ! Fácilmente se puede incluir a Barkley.
100 por ciento de acuerdo contigo. NO hay casi NADIE como los jugadores de los 80s y 90s
No es cierto, para muchos cualquier tiempo pasado fue mejor. Los de ahora son mejores.
Parece que todo es cuestión de popularidad porque Moses Malone fue mejor que Barkley y nadie lo menciona.
Cuando no vistes las dos épocas , puedo considerar que es un comentario justo ...pero yo que viví los 80 y 90 ... Puedo comparar y la diferencia es abismal ... Solo te dare un ejemplo ... LESIONES ... antes el juego era mas fisico y todas las estrellas o capitanes de equipo , como mucho , perdieron 5 juegos por temporada ... Hoy dia es mas una show como la wwe ...
@@elcanaldejohnbo-linemanpue3143 algunos jugaban asì, pero te puedo mencionar al mismo Barkley que no salìa de una lesiòn, asì muchos de ellos tambièn.
ABA Doctor J vs Prime MJ would have been the best battle.
This is just like when a young Kobe faced Jordan. We all could see the potential but he wasnt ready to take the mantle from MJ just yet..
Doctor J, One Of My Favourite Top Ten Players,
First season, if I'm not wrong, and Michael already playing high level basketball. The old ones on court was like.... Where da hell did this kid come from??
@otaviohsilva ...Jordan was just a rookie during the 1984-85 season! He was also a ball hog then.
watching jordan no matter what era.
i just feel GOAT vibe.
They cut off final score ffs: horrible edit. Anyone know final scores?
Look at Jordan’s iconic layup against the Lakers then look at Dr J’s iconic layup against the Lakers! There was no one even in the lane against Jordan and Dr J had to fly out of bounds and then back in bounds to finish the play! Those plays are the most prime examples of the difference after the ‘91 illegal defense rules David Stern parted the lane for Jordan. Before that Jordan was no better than Wilkins. Points and Dunks but no rings!!
I never saw one clip here where they were going against each other lol. It says 1vs1 plus that was old DrJ vs Young Mike
Dr Js first dunk and turning to the side yo defend thr ball with his body is a real good play that i haven't seen being utilized now.
Dr. J best years were in the ABA.
Damn i see you Charles Barkley man!!! Good ole days Chuck played with the Dr
what year was this ... i don't remember sir charles and the good DR J on the same team.. and especially charles and IRVING kyrie...um umn.. magic..um umn meant DR J playing aginst AIR JORDAN
Young Rookie Jordan vs. The old Doctor!!
Man MJ23 been handling his business, but man it looks like he's playing grown ass old men :) (he was, but damn) No way MJ23 and Dr.J both 6' 6" inches... Dr. J looks bigger taller to me... although both can hold the ball in 1 hand like a tennis ball... Dr. J appears to be taller and bigger... I gotta look up proportional stats. I still believe Kobe was slightly taller than MJ23 and Dr. J although I believe they are measured at 6' 6 inches
Dr j was 6'7 and had super long arms and wide frame. Mike and Kobe were 6'5
Barkley says hes 6,4 and he is the same height as Jordan. For some reason they add inches to the players.
I knew Dr J and Larry Legend as a little white kid from Larry's neck o the woods, and Dr J was my favorite. Then Larry. Then MJ. He(MJ) is. The. GOAT. This video is priceless with two of the greatest duking it out.
people forget chuck was zion before zion lol
That was't actually The Doctor vs MJ. It was the 6ers vs the Bulls.
Damn i wish i was older to see this game but i was alive then a tiny toddler in 84 😂
MJ got everything from the Dr
1:20 “HOLY TOLEDO what a play”.. Lol! You can tell that this was the 80’s! Lol!!!!
Lots of talent on the floor here considering MJ, Barkley, DrJ, Toney...
MJ. GOAT. period
So Charles barley played with Julius Irving? I heard Barkley on here and it made me wonder. I only got to see Barkley play when he was with the phoenix suns only
Who won?
Philly won all five meetings. They mentioned the score partly at the end they always mention the winner first
At 0:11, MJ refused to jump and try to block Dr. J. People always forget this type of behavior when they gauge players greatness.
Julius Erving was at the end of his career. Most NBA fans alive now havent seen the real Dr. J when he was in the NBA and at his early career with the Sixers. Dubbed the 6 million dollar man when he left the Nets to the Sixers. He saved the NBA and the ABA went defunct merging with the NBA and really brought all the spectacular players to the NBA. Prior to that the NBA was drab.
Genius comment!
I was about 8 to 10 months old when this game happened
What color was your teething ring
I just felt my youth pour all over me again. Wow! My Wife looked at me like"you'd better not think about playing again" LMMFAO. 😮
Why was this titled 1 on 1? I saw ten men on the basketball court. People would say anything.
The GOAT vs the #3 GOAT!
0:26.... the dunk of the jordan shoes logo.............................
that's what i was about to say
when dr. j, Captain marvel and the Bread Truck met..
I truly believe if Dr.j didn't exist there would be no jordan
Jordan himself said so 👍🏀🏀
Yes, it would've, it was David Thompson he idolized, not Doc. All the flair comes from his brother Larry
@@reallydoe6061The casuals love saying Dr. J was Jordan's this and that. Uh, no. Besides the aerial shit, their games were nothing alike. You mentioned Mike's main guys in Thompson and his brother. Jordan had Thompson elect him on stage into the HOF.
@mpound97 AND, Doc was too long. Jordan is the ONLY guy ever that looked right in the "Air"
I don't know if I can say that before nor after watching this.
