That last take off the dribble to finger roll is a thing of beauty. Doesn't get any better.

We all should be ashamed of ourselves to allow any of these modern era players to push a class act as well as a legend to the back of the mind! Dr. J was absolutely awesome!!!

No stare down, no self hype, throw it down and let the dunk speak for itself - legendary

My favorite player of all time Doctor J.

This was Dr. J still in his athletic prime. Some of his moves seemed almost impossible. One of the most electrifying players ever.

Doc was perhaps the most valuable of all MVP's. Consider this: he carried TWO different leagues. Who else can say that? And in the ABA he had double value because of what he meant on AND off the court. And when he got to the NBA, that was the start to the NBA's heightened popularity. Bird and Magic was a great rivalry and there were no two better guys to hand the torch to, but Doc was first. Before Bird. Before Magic. Before MJ. Before LeBron.

Doc is so underrated and under appreciated. My favorite player of alltime.

I've never seen a player that could effortlessly dunk over anyone, no matter how tall.

@anthonybanks4958 3 years ago

Because it's been so long, sometimes U forget just how good & graceful the Dr. was! He would glide like no one else!!

Doc was so incredible in his prime, easily the best forward and most exciting player the minute he stepped on an nba court

Doc was the Michael Jordan of the 70's & early 80's. I don't know that he's underrated, but I don't think enough people realize how spectacular he actually was. My favorite player as kid, and one of the all-time greats!

My favorite all-time player in NBA history. The Doc made me fall in love with the game!! Thanks for the clip!!

I watched that game and all of the NBA Finals Games in 1977. I remember the shorts that were worn back then, it is amazing how the game has changed today. Dr. J was a big story in 1977, but Seattle Slew was the bigger story winning the Triple Crown. 1977 was the best year of my life as a kid, the music on the radio was great, and playing and following sports was even better.
