Player-lol Every old game I have watched with him i see nothing at all that makes me believe he was on the same level as Bird, Magic, and Jordan,. He was not FAST, only was effective on the break, STUNK in the half court Offense because he had no jump shot. So what makes this man so great? Was it because he was a great dunker? I just don't get it Garfieldkool

Damn Solomon, why is it so hard for you to give credit where credit is due? Dr. J was great. Michael Jordan patterned his game after him. Yeah, he had flaws, but he was great for the era he played in. His 76er squad just wasn't on the level as the Lakers and Celtics. I didn't see Dr. J play until later in his career, but I know he was great. He is my oldest brother's all-time favorite player. He wore the Converses and tried to play like him. My brother is over 40, and people over 40 can tell you Dr. J was the man. Clyde Drexler was MY all-time favorite player. But because he played in the Jordan era, and in Portland, he didn't get any recognition.

Well maybe he started going downhill after 1983 because he was a OK player to me. I don't think Jordan took that much from him, defintely not his jumpshot-lol

You don't know a lot about sports. Jordan didn't have a jump shot until later in HIS career. Most of the slashers didn't have a jump shot at first. Jordan obviously worked on his jumped shot. Dr. J was more than a OK player, he was the franchise, and a great athlete. Why don't you stop the hate man, and why did you even create this stupid thread anyway?! Like I feel like debating with you on how great Dr. J was! You live in Philly, you should show some props!

I watched Allen Iverson play for 11 years and he a bigger Philly star to me in this town than Dr. J.

I still think IVERSON will always be a bigger 76er player than he ever was

GarfieldKool don't pay attention to ThaAnalyzer because he says dumb stuff a lot. I don't understand how he doesn't see how Dr J was a great athlete. Dr J did some amazing stuff in his career. His dunks were awesome. I've never seen him play but i've seen a lot of his highlights.

All I'm saying is that he shouldn't be discussed in the same sentence as Magic, Bird, and Jordan.

You have lost your damn mind. How come he shouldn't be mentioned with Magic, Bird, Jordan? The man was awesome. You're ********.

Because Magic, Bird and Jordan all have 3 or more Titles and were very GOOD on the offensive end. Magic was a GOOD PASSER, Bird was a AWESOME SHOOTER and Jordan was just plain AWESOME. Dr. J was just a DUNKER with a BABY AFRO-lol

Didn't Dr J win 2 championships with the Sixers? I know he won a championship when he played in the ABA for the New York Nets.

No, he has ONE and only got that one because the Lakers were HURT, kareem was out and bob macadoo

He did win a championship in the ABA too.

Sometimes I think he creates these lame threads just for the effect. I think deep down he knows Dr. J was great, he just wants to start a debate. Well, I am not going to argue with him, because he knows nothing about sports.

Well, in the record books, it says he got a championship in 1983. It doesn't say he got one because the Lakers were hurt. Just like when the Rockets won two titles in the mid-90s. They still don't get respect because many say they woon because Jordan was not in the NBA at the time.

Yeah I know but the philly media never told the whole story about that 83 title. They just made it seem like the 76ers were THAT GREAT. They couldn't have been that great because they were knocked out in the first round the following season by the Nets, and yes the GREAT D. J was THERE

Well, the very great Michael Jordan scored 63 points against the Celtics in a loss in 1986. For the first 5 years, the Bulls were a one man team.

And that 63 point performance should have never been mentioned because the Bulls still lost

Dr.J changed the way the game was played. He also did a lot of little things that were not noticed in the stats....much like Tim Duncan.
