✅ “As a basketball player, Julius was the first to truly take the torch and become the spokesman for the NBA,” said former coach Billy Cunningham. “He understood what his role was and how important it was for him to conduct himself as a representative of the league. Julius was the first player I ever remember who transcended sports and was known by one name — Doctor.”
