I loved watching Dr J. He was an innovator. This would be great for Livers.

"The award is named in honor of Julius "Dr. J" Erving, who attended UMass and averaged 26.3 points and 20.2 rebounds per game in his two-year collegiate career."

Players have not averaged over 20 rebounds per game since the 1970s. I would attribute that to fewer playing minutes and higher % of made shots.

Hope Livers can win it, but the competition is stiff. Not sure how I feel about fans having too much say in the winning of the award though, prefer players win awards based on Performance vs Social Media.

I never heard of the Dr. J Award.

At first I thought the award was in honor of Virginia Johnson, who, like Julius Erving, was also not a doctor.

If Gene Simmons was French and spelled his name Jean, he could also be a not a doctor Dr. J.

Hysterical Person: "OH MY GOD WE HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY!! IS THERE A DOCTOR HERE!??"

Dr. J: *calmly steps in front of actual medical doctor running to the scene* "Why, yes, I am a doctor. Do you have a basketball you need dunked?"

 

[Gulo Blue]

Yes.

Jean (Gene) Simmons was/is a doctor of love.

Virginia Johnson was a doctor of fucking.

If you can be a doctor of love, or a gangster of love, is it possible to be a gangster of medicine?

I guess drug dealers are gangsters of medicine.
