Eh. By the end it was kinda similar. The 76 Nuggets lost in 6 to Doctor J...next season they lost to the NBA champion blazers in the same 6 games. They had the second best record in the NBa...and took the Blazers to 6 games while the Lakers with Kareem and the best record in the NBA got swept.I am not counting ABA titles, they were not the best team in the world..
The 76 nuggets who Doc wiped out...had 3 1977 NBA all stars...2 of them in the HOF. And the one that isnt was a 10 time all D teamer.
Doc gets no credit for beating the team that had the second best record in the NBA the very next season? They had a better record than the actual 77 NBA champs.
They were more than solid...

I always thought so. Having grown up in the 70's, the basketball world was dominated by 2 names: Kareem and Doctor J. Originally Posted by navy

Re: LeBron vs Dr.J
So confused. In 1983 Kyrie hadn't even been born. So he certainly wasn't the best player on the team. Originally Posted by stanlove1111

Let's also not forget that the Blazers were reinforced by ABA stalwart Maurice Lucas at PF. If i this was a pure ABA vs. NBA title face off, the Blazers would not have the services of the ABA dispersal draft . ABA teams who joined the NBA were not allowed to join that dispersal draft BTW.
In 1983, Erving, not Irving, was joined by Moses. Doc had been the leader of the 76er team since 1976-77. He took the Sixers to 3 Finals before Moses joined Philly.
More than anything, Moses was a hired gun to give the Sixers a consistent inside presence to battle Boston's all time great front court, and the Lakers' KAJ. During the early 80s, the NBA was dominated by centers. This is why no MVP was a non center until Doc won it in 1981 since Oscar in 1964 or there about.
Yes, Moses was the more dominant player for Philly, and was the most dominant player in the NBA that year, but Doc brought the team together. He could have battled it out ego vs ego with Moses, and tried to out score him every game. He didn't, and there's no question that he was still the 76ers best all around player on the team and he made it work out chemistry wise.
What I can't figure out is this : Magic and Bird had great centers or great front courts with them their entire careers, and no one holds this against them. Doc finally gets a great center and promptly wins a title, and he gets less credit. WTH?Last edited by Dr.J4ever; 08-26-2014 at 12:53 PM.

There was nobody around who thought the Nuggets had a chance of winning the title in 76-77 because they didn't. They were not really a serious contender at all. Originally Posted by Kblaze8855
