About this listen
Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by one of the legends of all basketball legends, Julius "Dr. J" Erving. The Hall of Famer tells Joe and Jada about his glory days in the ABA with the New York Nets and in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers, winning 4 MVPs across the different leagues. He also tells unbelievable stories about his star-studded friend group in his earlier years that consisted of jazz legend Miles Davis, tennis great Arthur Ashe, Yankees Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, and comedian Bill Cosby; his memories of playing during and in the aftermath of the civil rights movement spearheaded by Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X; and what it was like to catch wind of a new genre called "hip hop" when it was first catching on in America.
Joe and Jada is now STREAMING ON NETFLIX!
