Brilliant piece on what true greatness looks like. What stands out is how Erving turned a 21-point off-night into a team win with 9 asists and 16 boards. I remember watching older ABA clips as a kid and being amazed at how the legends adapted their game on the fly. It's the hallmark of a GOAT when thier worst games still tilt the scoreboard.
Thanks for your comment. Your last sentence encapsulates my motivation to write the article yesterday. I love the way you captured that so perfectly as you wrote, "It's the hallmark of a GOAT when their worst games still tilt the scoreboard." You said it as well as any sportswriter I've ever seen.
