Julius “Dr. J” Erving has won it all in his pro basketball career. He won championships in the old ABA in 1974 and 1976 with the New York Nets.
He was also named ABA MVP twice. In the NBA, the ex-University of Massachusetts kingpin won his only title in 1983 with the
Philadelphia 76ers and clinched the MVP diadem once. But to this Hall-of-Famer, all these
accolades take a backseat when it comes to his being spiritual and God-fearing
man. For the 6-6 legend, all the glory goes to the greatest doctor of all, our
Lord Jesus Christ.
“When I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I began to understand my true
purpose for being here….. The purpose of life is to be found through having
Christ in your life, understanding what His plan is, and following that plan…..
Since I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior, there are still some peaks and
valleys. But I am being operated on by the greatest doctor of them all, so the
glory goes to Him.”
