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.

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.

I was thinking Dominique

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

he would be the 2nd or 3rd best player in today's game. to me he's better then wilkens. he's was one of the all time greats and could play in any era.

I agree. He'd be great today. I wish I could have seen him in the 90s when Jordan was in his prime too.

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.
