Dr. J

Julius Erving, known around the world as "Dr. J," tells his own story in this candid memoir. He is remembered for his acrobatic moves near the rim and for the enormous hair that became part of his image, and he helped change how the game was played. Yet the man fans cheered for was only part of the picture. Erving looks at the private side of his life that few people saw, examining both the nearly flawless athlete and the fallible person beneath, and explains how he learned to live with both.
