For five years, 1971 to 1976, “The Doctor” made his rounds on ABA hardcourts. If it’s possible to have greater leaping ability than Michael Jordan, Dr. J would be the one. His graceful, soaring play helped the Nets capture two ABA championships and led to three MVP Awards, five All-Star selections, and averages of 28.8 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. Julius Erving entered the NBA after the merger in 1976 and played eleven masterful seasons – but that’s another story. Offered here is a Wilson Official ABA Basketball with the red, white, and blue leather hide and official ABA logo. Dr. J has autographed the ball with a bold silver sharpie signature. Legends are rare, and so is the memorabilia to celebrate the legend. Includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
