Spectacular feats In 1979/80, Erving executed the "Baseline Move", one of the arguably most spectacular baskets ever. He drove past a defender on the right baseline and went up for a layup. Then 7'2" center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar crossed his way, blocking the route to the basket and forcing him outwards. In mid-air, it was apparent that Erving would land behind the backboard. But somehow he managed to reach over and score on a right-handed layup despite the fact that his whole body, including his left shoulder, was already behind the hoop!

Is there a video online of this feat? I'd like to see it. Peter S. 30 June 2005 11:16 (UTC)

Will a GIF do? Here you go [1] Onomatopoeia 02:19, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, pretty good. A video would be even better, but it's not bad :-) Peter S. 13:22, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Erving also introduced the dunk jumping off the foul line. He executed this move in the 1976 All-Star Dunking Contest.

This article really needs some expansion – it's paltry compared to the Bird, Magic, Jordan articles. Wasted Time R 7 July 2005 02:46 (UTC)

Better? Onomatopoeia 02:19, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Much! Wasted Time R 11:47, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

It does not look paltry to me, it looks good.--Dakota 04:22, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
