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: mid-air 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. Dr. J was a true ambassador for the game. On the left front tail is the “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions and jersey size “40”. Attached is a faded white flag tag. Across the front is “SIXERS”. Player number “6” appears on both the front and back. All these numbers are done in blue on red tackle twill. Player name “ERVING” appears on back in blue tackle twill. Erving has signed the front in black marker adding the inscription “Dr. J #6” rating an 8. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
