yeah I know I'm early but that commercial has me amped.

While I'd appreciate a 9-part-mini-series, this will be 90 minutes well spent.

just the way magic johnson glows when talking about doc is like get the pop corn ready.

doc is a ground breaker and his aba era has been used for and against him and yet you can't take nothing away from this man.

all due respect Connie Hawkins and cats who were leaping crazy back in the day, however Dr J made so many cats want to be like him and he had that class vibe on top of that and he was a Soul brother as well.

he always stayed cool.

be at south main st court practicin my finger rolls an shit. fuck a free throw. fuck a jump shot (this was before 3 pointers, mind you).

finger rolls.

i remember (old ninja shit) when they had the dr j cartoon ads on the back of comic books for the converse all stars.

the commercials: "hey doctor j! where'd you get those moooves, are you wearin magic shooooooes!!"


the special olympic or march of dimes comemrcial w/ the sixers w/ doc playin w/ the special kids (i know) and he calls a foul, and hte kid says "foooulll??" and doc goes, 'that's right, you fouled him'.

this cat name wilton used to make fun of that commercial. he wuh kinda special his damn self, but we'd be on the court and if anybody called foul, he'd say 'foooooouuuullll?' and twist his face all up.

i digress.

but doc was that dude, tho.

Dr J and Cap are really the only exceptions and even they don't get their due. It didn't have the legend mystique of the 60s or the television exposure of the mid 80s onward and I feel like there are some very consistently overlooked players in that era.

Hopefully like Monroe's book, this doc and other stuff like that changes that.

Above all, I am just excited for the footage of the Doc.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I wanna go to where the martyrs went
the brown figures on the walls of my apart-a-ment...

How did a city that revered one of the classiest black
athletes ever regress to a city that only appreciates
black athletes with criminal records?

I mean, isn't it CLEAR that Dr. J would be called a "sellout"
who wasn't "tough" enough if he played today?

Said differently: when did y'all become a city full of
greasy-lipped onion breath ass niggas with jagged beard
lineups?

you see and I did like AI however Dr J made you feel good and yet he had attitude and creativity in the air. now as Much as i respected OJ as a football player, Dr J never put on no airs and stayed cool just liek George Gervin.

for a cat to be acting like a Sell out he would be grinning, shucking and big eyeing and trying to fit in, DR J never came across like that.

he was just a down to earth but a more laid back version of a Walt Clyde Frazier. he did his talking on the court and kept thing even toned without losing his cool.

most folks don't even trip over him going for larry bird's neck and that was a time when alot of white folks were bowing at Bird's feet for i see you Donny Aiello

and I dig Bird, however Dr J was street. he wasn't polished on the acting like Magic Johnson and the after era.

you never heard a Dr J Press conference with all the over the top language that kobe Bryant uses and crap he says to sound Hard.

Dr J was from a era where the play did the talking and he was a Brother all the way.

(and finally) won that elusive championship (out of 4 appearances) and that was mainly due to Moses Malone whose hard nose attitude and take no prisoners approach to the game, ironically, were qualities philly fans loved abt him and all their past and present athletes in general for that matter and what you ridicule them for...mistakenly assuming they revere "criminals" when it's really the toughness they admire in their sports legends which is usually an attribute of players who come from those troubled backgrounds.

If anything this isn't a philly thing but more so abt how many of today's athletes don't come from stable family backgrounds like a Donovan McNabb or many of the athletes of Doc's era. As a result of this living and social instability, troubled and wayward athletes have become commonplace nowadays in the sports world but that wasn't as widespread or covered by the press as it is today in a media saturated society which is why you had a Dr. J vs 20 yrs. later you get an Allen Iverson.

This last point isn't really true. Because Iverson wasn't
"tough enough" to be okay with coming off the bench. He cried
like a little pussy and ruined his career.

This isn't entirely true. Black athletes been poor since forever.

His last few tumultuous seasons in the league were abt his ego and even his disillusionment, not his toughness or the lack thereof...


>This isn't entirely true. Black athletes been poor since
>forever.

Being impoverished didn't/doesn't necessarily mean you're coming out of an unstable living and social environment - particularly the athletes from Doc's generation because first and foremost there was solidarity in blk communities as a result of the social/political climate blk ppl lived in (segregation/civil rights era) which demanded that we have each other's back and that also meant that blk families had to instill in their children a sense of dignity and (race) pride...and that was evident not just of Dr. J but many blk athletes from that generation.

Needless to say, it was only a matter of time before we began to see blk families and their living environments radically undergo changes (for the worse) post civil rights movement which consequently led to the disintegration of blk families/communities which also explains much abt today's blk athletes and why so many are lost and troubled...

to do with his so-called criminal record..

it was more his style of play..and the fact really that he was basiclly riding for the Sixers as close to by himself as possible..

Also I think Sixer fans..just like in any other city with some questionable fan activity.....but basketball fans in general are different than football or baseball fans. By nature modern Basketball fans are more open-minded about the Black athlete because if they are nba fans..they are fans of a very very Black sport..lol.

so I think it's tough to compare how AI was viewed to how McNabb was viewed...and really if Philly fans chose TO over mcnabb that was not a case of picking a criminal over an upstanding guy because TO is no criminal..he was just a raging A-hole...

Him walking towards the tunnel, holding the ball up to the crowd always stuck with me as one of my earliest sports memories.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1C7FSrGKWw&feature=player_detailpage#t=316s

He was regal...yet so calm. This was last summer I think. He was just sitting, playing with his kids. No one approached him or anything. I really stopped in my tracks and just stared for a sec, then kept walking.

that behind the backboard layup is the greatest shit on planet earth.

turkey i got the ABA books and Bootleg videos. I grew up on Bob Mcadoo when he played in Buffalo.

Dr J in the ABA era now that is a whole different story just like David Thompson, however i've seen cats do things as time went by.

I loved the DOC and always will, however Bron is Better so live with it turkey

Let Doc have his day....In his prime he saw everybody...he literally carried a LEAGUE that was bleeding money...

The man deserves his spotlight....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

Magic and Bird carried that league. Doc is a cool rebel when you think about it, he went against the grain had his own space jam movie.

i've never said a bad word about Doc and never would.

He was one of my favorite players growing up.

mistermaxxx R.Kelly, Michael Jackson,Stevie wonder,Rick James,Marvin Gaye,El Debarge, Barry WHite Lionel RIchie,Isleys EWF,Lady T.,Kid creole and coconuts,the crusaders,kc sunshine band,bee gees,jW,sd,NE,JB

I'm about giving the man his due without name checking everybody and their mama...

Doc put in work...And he gets underrated way too much by folks like yourself...

I'm a Bulls fan...And I know how mammoth the cult of celebrity/greatness can be (M. Jordan)...But u don't see me bringing dude up at every turn...

Doc was a innovator who paved the way for that modern era...I'm not saying anything groundbreaking or new...

Just giving the man his due without all that BUT bullshit...

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

so you need to shut up and stop trying to start something that ain't there. you ain't saying nothing i already didn't know turkey.

I watched Doc, I watch tiny, I watched Iceman, I watched Bob Mcadoo turkey.

i was a kid when the Now LA Clippers were the Buffalo Braves, you ain't saying nothing. Doc was an incredible creative talent.

He was the baddest player in the ABA then you had Moses Malone who i saw as a kid, you had David Thompson.

you are a wack one trick pony riding jive turkey.

i could tell you things on Doc and Philly was that far from B Lo.

i saw his creativity and his drive.

It's all good, homie...

It's just crazy how every time folks bring up Dr. J it's on some, "well, he's not on so and so's level"....Hell, I got boys that do the same shit...lol

I just think it would be cool for dude to get the props he deserves as a true innovator....

Just saying....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

i love Doc Man, I watched him play and dug what he was about.

Doc was a Brother with Class and had a larger than Life vibe and yet he was a Humble Brother.

if you have ever read some of my posts on Doc and the Sixers I always say that those 83 sixers are the best one season team that I have ever seen, in the post season.

30 years ago Doc, Moses, Toney,Bobby Jones, and them sixers still left me in Awe.

the Lakers of 01 are 2nd in terms of a one Post season run, but them 83 sixers man that was the team that ran rough shot in the post season back in the day

you would see i have posted all in this thread about how much I admire and dug Dr J and you are just throwing my name out there to boast your own self serving ratings or something.

i never directed your name out there or said a word and here you go all loud and wrong saying lies.

turkey watched Dr J way back in the day.

i remember back in 92 on some NBC show or a tribute to somebody and it was Michael Jordan and Denzel Washington and other big names and some folks were tripping how folks just walked by Dr J and didn't give him his due.

however Doc always stayed the bigger person, like I told Murph I love DR J and got memorys wider than your IQ jive sucker turkey
