Just watched his special, what would he be if he played today? Blake Griffin? I only saw one jumpshot in the whole highlight reel. Did his jumper suck? Was he a one trick pony who dunked. The ABA red white n blue basketball balls were great. They should go back to those. |

If he were playing today he'd be the seventh or eighth man on an NBDL team. |

Was he a one trick pony who dunked. Good scorer, decent defensively, but not very good from the outside. He was Kobe Bryant with less of a jumpshot. I think Kobe was better though. |

Athletically yes, but I think Julius had a higher basketball IQ and was a better defender. They're close though. |

His comparison is Jordan. I'm not saying he was as good. But he was thought of the same way in his time when the sport wasn't marketed as well. |
