@diegomor_official: “One of these cats is the greatest ever, the other is Michael Jordan. I may catch shade for that statement but when people ask me why I simply tell them- MJ had Dr. J, Doc arrived there on his own. He was the innovator that changed the game forever and for everyone.”
@forevercell1: “Man listen….Doc was the Man in ABA so imagine if he started off in NBA…There will all kind of records plus I feel he achieved more than one Championship…MJ took it a step further and more paving the way for the likes, Vincanity, Penny, T-Mac, AI, and The Black Mamba…Before Doc you had Elgin Baylor…Doc doesn’t get enough credit for what he did for all after him…”
