Completely forgot about this "exhibition" game. To see Julius Erving in his utmost prime must've been a thrill unlike any other at that time. Would've been great to see him and Walt Frazier on the same team, a sort of New York / Jersey All-Star team. I remember seeing a picture of Erving's hand when placed on a regular 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. His fingertips extended beyond the sheet's borders ... amazing. Good stuff!

I once had the opportunity to shake hand with Julius Erving. It was a very memorable handshake. The tips of his fingers extended well up my forearm. It was easily the largest hand I'd ever shaken.
