Julius Erving, the great and wondrous "Dr. J," was the dominant player of his era, an innovator who changed the way the game was played. He was a wizard with the ball, performing feats never before seen: midair spins and whirls punctuated by powerful slam dunks. Erving was one of the first players to make extemporaneous individual expression an integral part of the game, setting the style of play that would prevail in the decades to follow. On the front left tail is the "Wilson" manufacturer's size "42" tag with wash instructions. Attached below is a "+2 LONG" flag tag (faded). Above that is the outline where the "Pearson Sporting Goods" distributors tag was. Across the front is "SIXERS" in blue on red tackle twill. Below that and on back is the player number "6" in blue on red tackle twill. Across the back is the player name "ERVING" in blue tackle twill. The jersey shows game-use and besides the absence of the “Pearson” tag appears to have no other alterations of any kind.
