Back in the day, being a basketball fan was about…well…basketball.

Speaking as a white kid in the Philly area in the 80s, nobody saw Dr J as black, per se…We saw him as awesome.

And yeah…3-pointers suck compared to the legendary Rock the Baby dunk.

Loved Dr J.

Saw him at a slot machine at the Tropicana in Atlantic City once and the 20 dollar tokens looked like quarters in his hand.

Three, four steps, and a dunk? Maybe if the refs actually called traveling, the games would be more exciting!

I miss the Spectrum. The new place isn’t the same.

Dr J invented legal traveling.

Yeah, yeah. What was that? 5 running “steps” from the midcourt line to the basket without a single dribble?
