Julius Erving’s Defiant Response to Critics Before His Championship Glory
In 1982, the Philadelphia 76ers suffered their 3rd consecutive Finals loss during the Julius Erving era.
Afterwards, an unusually somber, yet emotionally raw Erving challenged his media critics who labeled him a NBA-loser.
"The person who wants to be pessimistic, to throw stones at us, darts at us, can go ahead. Unless you put yourself at center stage and dare to be great, you can't be. You will never be. I'm going to keep daring. As I dared in the past, I'll dare in the future."
The very next season, Dr. J would go on to win his first NBA Championship.
