We got a little Dr. J for you as we continue with our countdown of the ’25 Best Dunks of All-time’ Sponsored by NBA.com/Dunk. Not only was Dr. J one of the greatest NBA and ABA players of all-time, he was one of the game’s first great dunkers. After Erving steals the ball, he drives up court, before what Chick Hearn creatively dubbed, rocking the baby to sleep. Kudos go to Michael Cooper, for sticking with the play…or suicide mission, whichever way you look at it.
Be sure to listen to this dunk with the volume turned all the way up, to hear Hearn’s legendary call.
