Julius “Dr. J” Erving is one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of basketball.He was the Michael Jordan before Michael Jordan and his favorite player is Dr. J.AllClippers got the chance to interview Dr. J exclusively. 9th Annual Cedric Entertainer Celebrity Golf Classiche revealed his current favorite NBA player, Kawhi Leonard.
“Kawhi is my favorite NBA player,” Irving said. “absolutely.”
Dr. J. mentioned in pathHe loved Kawhi Leonard’s games, even going back to his San Antonio days. Irving was a huge fan of Tim Duncan, so naturally, he loves Kawhi Leonard’s work ethic and demeanor. Despite being a huge fan, Irving has yet to have an intimate sit-down with Kawai.
“It’s kind of a mutual admiration,” said Irving. [celebration]He’s my favorite guy I like to see in the NBA, so there’s always an honesty there.
All great NBA players mentor older superstar players to teach them how to improve their game. Julius Irving has yet to have such a conversation with Kawhi Leonard, but it sounds like he’s open to being that person for Kawhi.
“Bill Russell was that guy to me,” Irving said. “He met me in college and always held out a hand of friendship. Whenever I was with him, I was always scratching his head. 30 and 40 year olds.” How do you bridge between the ages of 40 and 50? How do you bridge? I naturally learn a lot about him. How he handles.

Dr. J still enjoys playing basketball, but in his spare time he enjoys a second hobby: golf. He is a frequent participant in Cedric the Entertainer Celebrity Golf his Classics and it is an event that is like second nature to him.
“It never gets old,” said Irving. “I’ve been playing golf for over 30 years of his life. I started playing golf in my 30s. Started playing pro-am, amateur, and celebrity-sponsored events. Golf he’s always done this in his life.” It seems that
It’s hard to imagine seeing someone as tall as Dr. J at a celebrity golf tournament, even if it was hosted by a comedic legend like Cedric the Entertainer. That’s something Cedric would always love to see.
Cedric the Entertainer said, “You look at these guys and you don’t even imagine they’re your friends or people you can call and support. “Dr. J, Sugar Ray Leonard and Dave Justice are here. Many great athletes and stars are going to be part of this project. We want to know what it means to come back and help.” I’m really looking forward to seeing what they do. It felt so special to have them show up for me. I’m so happy they’re here.”
One of the great things about sports is the way knowledge is passed from superstar to superstar. Michael Jordan taught Kobe Bryant everything he knew and Kobe Bryant passed on his knowledge to the current generation. Hopefully, Dr.J will get the chance to pass his knowledge on to his favorite NBA players.
