Julius Erving’s Ultimate Baseline Scoop Move Vs. Lakers; Game 4, 1980 NBA Finals: “In the fourth quarter of Game 4, with his Sixers trailing 2-1 in the series, Julius Erving delivered perhaps the ultimate move of his highlight-filled career to help Philly to a 105-102 win. Dr. J drove baseline, elevated, reached back behind the backboard with the ball and somehow emerged on the opposite side of the basket to convert the circus shot. “The greatest move I’ve ever seen in a basketball game,” Magic Johnson called it.” – NBA.com
