Julius "Dr. J" Erving was a megastar in the ABA, leading the New York Knicks to two titles. His legend only grew when he joined the NBA in 1976, where his style, skill and leadership resulted in a dominant career with the 76ers, highlighted by four trips to the NBA Finals and a championship in 1983. Today on his 71st birthday, we celebrate him as a legend and innovator that transcended the game. #NBABDAY #BHM | NBA
