Julius Erving is channeling his inner Magic Johnson. In an appearance Wednesday on ESPN LA 710’s “Mornings with Keyshawn, Jorge & LZ,” the retired basketball great said that his 1982-83 Philadelphia 76ers would defeat the current Golden State Warriors. “This is a phenomenal team,” said Dr. J of the Warriors. “They can put up points. And they do play team defense. They hustle. They scrap. “[But] when you have a team with the makeup of our team back then, we could play slow, we could play fast,” continued the Hall of Famer. “Moses [Malone] was such a dominant force. I have visions of him grabbing the rebound a few times and taking it coast to coast … You know we had four centers, four guards and four forwards, so a lot of the parts were interchangeable. We had a guy like Bobby Jones coming off the bench.” The Sixers went 65-17 that year and won the NBA title after Malone’s famous “fo’, fo’, fo'” proclamation. - See more at: http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/julius-erving-83-sixers-top-warriors/374548
