With Monday offering a night off between Game 2 and Game 3 of the 2013 NBA Finals, many NBA fans and players turned their attention to "The Doctor," the new NBA TV documentary celebrating the life and career of Hall of
Famer Julius Erving, which debuted on the network last night. In
interviews promoting the film prior to its premiere, Dr. J told
reporters that while he might not quite be the legendarily acrobatic
high flyer he once was, he can still throw down, even after turning 63 this past February. And now, thanks to the film and smartphone technology, we've got proof:
What's even crazier: Erving told Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch last week that he's actually dunked three times
in 2013, a full 26 years after his last NBA game. That's even more
impressive than managing to get your own filming-your-TV-screen
reflection in a six-second video clip.
