When Erving was a freshman at the University of Massachusetts, he single-handedly drew capacity crowds so frenzied to see him play that lines would circle the Curry Hicks Cage hours before the tip-off. Erving became one of only six players in NCAA history to average more than 20 points and 20 rebounds a game, and it was during those UMass days that he earned the nickname known throughout the globe -- "Dr. J." He remains one of only three players in pro basketball history to score more than 30,000 career points. When he retired in 1987, Erving ranked in the top 10 in scoring (third), most field goals made (third), most field goals attempted (fifth) and most steals (first). On the combined NBA/ABA scoring list, Erving ranks third with 30,026 points. He exhibited the style and grace both on and off the court that led many in basketball circles to call him an American treasure. Today, he is simply known as basketball's ambassador to the world.
