“The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life - mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical.”
Julius Erving

“I demand more from myself than anybody else could possibly expect of me.”
Julius Erving

“I am an American man whose journey has been blessed by the great gifts that America offers—wealth, fame, championships, awards—and also scoured by the tragedies that are a part of the human experience. I have lost too many loved ones. I ask for no pity; I only want to relate what I have felt and seen. I have hurt too many people. For that I ask forgiveness. An American life, after all, is the sum of its parts, the successes and the failings, and mine has been rich with both.”
Julius Erving, Dr. J: The Autobiography
