Repped.

I'm so glad you posted this cause to me Dr J has been the one player to get UNDERRATED over the years.

Dude was a phenom from what I've seen and was my brother's favorite player growing up (I'm too young to remember HUGE afro Dr J, I barely remember him as an older guy on the Sixers though I vaguely remember the "rock the cradle dunk" on Cooper).

Anyway, he'd give peeps the business right now!

His game (although he didn't have the best handles) easily translates to the present.

Hops supreme and that dunk @ 29secs is AND THAT'S W/ CHUCK'S ON! Imagine him in some Adizeroes!

Doc's game would easily translate! Especially with the no hand check rule, Doc would be devastating. As far as his handle, it was good enough to get where he had to go. Plus he would be scoring plenty in transition and offensive rebounding. We don't need him to be a point forward type player, which he never was. U want him to be the iconic devastating freak athlete scoring machine he is known for. U will also get very good d and rebounding from Doc as well. I hate it when perimeter scoring machines get hated on for not having point guard or point forward type of ability. They are what they are which is unstoppable scorers who can will a team.

It's a shame so few footage of ABA Dr. J is out there. He was a different animal there from his NBA days.

This quote from 1972 sounds like something from the modern NBA.
