Julius Erving was a megastar in the ABA, leading the New York Nets to two titles. His legend only grew when he joined the NBA in 1976, where his style, skill and leadership resulted in a dominant career with the 76ers, highlighted by four trips to the NBA Finals and a championship in 1983. We celebrate him as a legend and innovator that transcended the game. #BHM | NBA

🏀On February 17, 2001 Charlotte’s Baron Davis hit a 89-foot-shot as time expired in the third quarter, the longest shot in NBA history. The Hornets would go on to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 103-93. It surpassed a 24 year-old mark set by Norm Van Lier, who made an 84-footer back in 1977. Keep in mind that a basketball court is 94 feet in length. Davis is the only player to have hit a shot from at least 85 feet in a game; since the year 2000, it has been attempted at least a total of 40 times. Du
