Old Photo: Dr. J And John Havlicek, Shirtless And Wearing Sombreros
We know nothing about the origin of this photo of Julius Erving and John Havlicek, but we love it. It was tweeted this morning by SLAM associate editor Adam Figman, who says it shows the two retired NBA legends "chilling very hard in Mexico, 1977." And that much is demonstrably true: The Doctor and Hondo are indeed chilling very hard here.
