One of things we like to do with our YouTube Gold series is to find videos of great and not-so-great older players. First, we figure that younger readers may not be as familiar and second, older readers may not remember them in all their glory.
So it’s nice to highlight them and to wonder how they would do in today’s game. Some guys are a big surprise. Take Bob Pettit. We were shocked at how modern his game was (we were also shocked at how healthy and youthful he looked in his late 80’s).
Which leads us to this nice compilation of Julius Erving’s greatest plays.
