Dr J. as much as I liked Nique when I was a kid, Dr J had a better all round game. DW was all about scoring while Dr J could do alot more.
Julius EEEERRVIINGG Great game, he doesnt rely on one skill, he utulizes it all in one great player: Dr. J
Dr. JNique probably was best at dunking, and Erving was better. Plus better at about everything else. He or Wilt were the GOATs before MJ came into the picture

Dr. J the GOAT at that time? Come on I would go with Dr. J though. Amazingly athletic and he could do more than just score. He is one of the greatest ever.
I'd take Niquethe comparisons of ridiculous players always have a little bit of stupidity to them because either way you get an unbelivable player, but if pressed I'd take Nique, he was like a jordan without the supporting cast, he had amazing scoring abilities, incredible athleticisim, innovative dunking, great field goal percentages, he reminds me of Jordan
