With 7:35 left in Game 4 of the 1980 76ers and Lakers Finals, Bobby Jones' pass passed past the Lakers guard standing at the free-throw line and into Julius Irving. Just as Mark Landsberg, the guard defending Irving, began to take a defensive stance, Dr. J had already shaken him off and rushed to the basket.

Irving used the dribble to bring Landsberg to the baseline and then began a seemingly simple dunk move, and then Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar stepped forward to cover the 76ers' offense.

"The best thing to do was to go straight to the basket and dunk, but I saw Kareem coming over and I tried to find Daryl Dawkins." "I feel like if you give him the ball and he can score easily because Karim has come over to defend me, but I can't find him," Irving said. So, I took the ball back, looked at it in mid-air, and finally I found an opportunity to put the ball in the basket by hitting the board. ”

Irving was trapped under the basket and it looked like he didn't make the right shot choice – until he unexpectedly twisted his body and landed the ball in steadily, and he stayed in the air for a very long time, as he got past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at 2.16m and reached to the left of the basket with his long right arm just enough to pull off a perfect pull-up layup.

That layup gave Philadelphia a 91-84 lead, and Irving scored 10 points in the final 7:42 of the game to finish the game with 23 points, five rebounds and three assists. 76ers fans were ecstatic to realize that May 11, 1980, would be the greatest game in NBA Finals history.

That season's MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar couldn't believe what was happening right in front of him, and all he could do was turn around and start the next round of the offense again. Dr. J changed the way basketball was played by a Hall of Fame player, but the historic shot was like an ordinary goal to him. As soon as he finished shooting, he focused on the defense.

"I was here to try to win a championship, but when I saw that ball, I was so amazed that I couldn't close my mouth," said "Magic" Johnson, who was a rookie at the time, "and he really did it!" I thought, 'What are we going to do?' Should we take the ball out and let him do it again? To date, it's still the greatest shot I've ever seen in basketball. ”

In the end, the 76ers won the game 105-102 on the night to tie the series at 2-2, but that year's championship went to Los Angeles, and they completed the championship 4-2. But in that series, the greatest goal went to Dr. J.

Julius Erving, born on February 22, 1950 in East Meado, New York, USA, is a former American professional basketball player who plays as a small forward, nicknamed "Dr.J", and pioneered modern basketball performances in the air and on the basket.

Julius Irving graduated from the University of Massachusetts, joined the American Basketball Association ABA in 1971, and was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1st round of the 1972 NBA draft, but he never played for the Bucks, and played for the ABA Virginia Gentlemen, the ABA New York Nets (now the NBA Brooklyn Nets) during his BA period and won the ABA championship twice and was elected the ABA playoff MVP twice. In 1974-76, he was named the ABA regular season MVP three times in a row and was named to the ABA All-Defensive Team five times (four first-team, one second-team, and one defensive team). He was one of the most famous stars in the ABA when it merged with the NBA in 1976.

In May 1987, "Dr. J" Julius Owen officially announced his retirement. During his time in the ABA and the NBA, he won the scoring title of the season. He ranks 5th all-time in career scoring in professional basketball history, scoring 30,026 points (ABA + NBA). He is best known for his free-throw line dunk in the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, and he is also the only player to have won the MVP in both the ABA and NBA, and many have hailed him as the most amazing player of all time and one of the 50 greatest dunk players.

After the age of 13, Julius Owen lived in Roosevelt. When he was in high school, he attended and played at Roosevelt High School, where he already had the nickname "Doctor" or "Dr. J" from a friend of his. In 1968, Irving went to the University of Massachusetts. In 1986, Irving earned his bachelor's degree through the University ithout alls at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. In the two seasons that the college team played, Irving averaged 32.5 points and 20.2 rebounds per game, becoming one of only five players in the history of NCAA men's basketball who could average 20+20 per game.

At the time, professional basketball in the United States was in turmoil, split into two leagues and each with its own club teams and leagues. In 1971, Irving joined the ABA league when he joined the Virginia Gentlemen without a draft.

Irving of the Virginia Gentlemen's team quickly showed that he was a force to be reckoned with, and his dunk performance became his hallmark. In his debut season, he averaged 27.3 points per game and was named to the second team of the ABA Team of the Year, where he was named to the All-NBA All-Rookie Team and finished second behind Aldis Gilmore in the Rookie of the Year selection. In that year's playoffs, Irving led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost to the New York Nets led by Rick Barry.

In 1972, Irving qualified for the NBA Draft, and he was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 12th pick in the first round. He had the opportunity to partner with Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, however, Irving signed with the Atlanta Hawks in the 1972-73 season. Defense attorneys are looking to find reconciliation between the three teams in both leagues, and Irving attends the Hawks' training camp with Pete Maravich to begin preparing for the new season. In training camp, Irving was able to play not only against Maravich, but also against George Gervin, which made him enjoy his life here. After playing three exhibition games for the Hawks, Irving was recalled by the Gentlemen due to an indictment. Because the Bucks previously owned Irving's rights, the Hawks were fined $25,000 by the NBA.
