Julius Erving is one of the greatest NBA players of all time.

He helped take the league to the next level of popularity before Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird hit their primes.

Recently, the NBA legend made a post to Instagram with an old photo of him talking to Jordan before a game between the 76ers and Bulls.

Erving captioned the post: "Greatness Personified

Former NBA player Jamal Crawford: "Love this legend!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾"

@diegomor_official: "One of these cats is the greatest ever, the other is Michael Jordan. I may catch shade for that statement but when people ask me why I simply tell them- MJ had Dr. J, Doc arrived there on his own. He was the innovator that changed the game forever and for everyone."

@forevercell1: "Man listen....Doc was the Man in ABA so imagine if he started off in NBA...There will all kind of records plus I feel he achieved more than one Championship...MJ took it a step further and more paving the way for the likes, Vincanity, Penny, T-Mac, AI, and The Black Mamba...Before Doc you had Elgin Baylor...Doc doesn't get enough credit for what he did for all after him..."
