Clash Of The Legends – Kareem Abdul Jabbar And Dr. J Go One-On-One
On February 28, 1992, two retired legends laced their shoes again, for one final one-on-one game in Atlantic City.
These two legends were Julius Dr. J Erving and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the event took place as a pay-per-view with a price tag of $19.95 ($6 of which went to charity).
Prior to the event, the two had been friends for 20 years, and Abdul-Jabbar had often dined at the Philadelphia home of Erving, where the idea was born.
Seeing an event like this, how can the NBA not add a one-on-one tournament to the All-Star Weekend?! It surely would be incredibly successful.
