Manic is such a funny story teller.
THE big 3:Dr. J, BLACK JESUS, and last but not least BLACK MAMBA 🏀
Coop got Dooped l. 😂
I'll never forget when an old ABA team won the NBA championship. Watching Moses Malone and Dr. J winning the title was one of the happiest days of my life. It's true, Dr. J did the things MJ did way before. When the Spurs beat the 76ers to go against Washington, Julius went to the Spurs locker room to congratulate the team. Class act. I remember Moses was the 1st million dollar baby straight out of highschool.
Magis always spot on impersonated😂😂..Dr J or MJ
See how much fun Magic is having just telling a story… well personalities like his, Bird with his trash talking and MJ's amazing skills and his passion to win. Those are all things that the NBA is missing today.
Mike grew up watching the legends and perfected each one of those legends crafts and then made his own craft in the process. He was ahead of his time
Wait Doc rocked the ball BEHIND the backboard on one side and layec on the other
GREAT. STORY❤❤❤❤❤❤
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No travel DJ….., AND YOU WONDER.
Mano Dr. J, é o divisor de águas no basquete mundial ……ANTES DR.J DEPOIS. É O MAIOR JOGADOR DE TODOS OS TEMPOS. MUITO ACIMA DE MJ, LARRY BIRD, MAGIC, KOBE E LEVRON.
FOI justamente essa cena que me salvou a vida. E me levou para o basquete aos 11 anos.

Magic the best so was Irving
Man that dunk was beautiful! Ain’t no way in hell Magic Johnson could deny this one 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dr j was a flying circus. Tickets were bought just to see him.
All these years later that dunk has never been duplicated in a game. Even if it had been, nobody would be able to do it with the style and flair like the Doctor did. Massive hands, massive hops and long arms helped him to create the impossible. Julius Erving would do things on a basketball court that will never be repeated again.
