        Dr. J's Philadelphia Essential

        Other than Rocky (perhaps), there's been no more beloved sports figure to grace the streets of Philadelphia in the last 40 years than NBA legend, Julius Erving. As a fiercely talented basketball player and quite possibly the first slam dunker to truly matter, Dr. J (as he's simply known) spent 11 years as a player for the Philadelphia 76'ers. Since then, he's become so much more to the sport and American culture -- author, philanthropist, NBA Hall of Famer, inspiration to inner-city kids. Truth be told, his unrivaled classiness as a player and role model have boosted him to the rarefied air known exclusively as... American icon. Although he currently lives in Atlanta, I caught up with 'The Doctor' at a charity event in California hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of Camarillo and Brotherhood Crusade of Los Angeles. Here's Dr. J's essential guide to Philly.

        “Finally, you've got to go see Dr. J’s statue. That’s down at the XFINITY Live!, which is in South Philadelphia. There is a statue of the man with the pose going to the hoop about 32 years ago. That’s a must-see for your bucket list if you’re in Philadelphia for a day."

        "You gotta go and spend some time in Fairmont Park. There are 38,000 acres of park property that’s owned and controlled by the city. It’s not all contiguous like a Central Park would be, but it’s in various sections of the city. So it depends on whether you’re doing West Philly, North Philly, South Philly, or Center City. There’s park everywhere in Philadelphia and Fairmont Park is the ticket."

        “You gotta get down to the Wells Fargo Center to see basketball. College basketball or pro basketball. Or you can see hockey… if you want to have the Philadelphia experience in the winter, you have to see the Sixers or the Flyers."
