“I think it has always happened,”NBA Hall of Famer, Julius Erving told Scoop B Radio

“I think people always make comparisons to people who are done. LeBron may play another six years LeBron may play one year we don’t really know.”

Dr. J is one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history and he is one of a few players who has won a championship in the ABA and the NBA. According to the Dr. J, His all-time greatest player is Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

“My all-time greatest player is Kareem Abdul Jabbar.” Julius Erving told Scoop B Radio

He would continue:

“I think when you add up the numbers and add up the years’ nobody has contributed more to the NBA history or pro basketball history. It’s very subjective. You say: ‘Michael or LeBron who was better’ or who was the greatest, the GOAT, that is for the fans to argue about.”
