Julius Erving dominated not one, but two leagues in 16 years worth of playing basketball. He absolutely ran the defunct ABA by winning three MVP awards and leading his New York Nets to two titles before deciding to take his talents to the budding NBA, where the Philadelphia 76ers waited with open arms.

Erving would immediately become one of the most entertaining players to watch, with his dunking being the main attraction. Aside from dunking, Erving would lead his Sixers to an NBA championship while also taking home an MVP award.

Career averages: 24 ppg, 8 rpg, and 4 apg.
