Squires Card of the Day

Julius Erving

The ABA's leading scorer in 1972-73, Julius creates the flow of the game. He has great imagination of the court and is an artist with the basketball. Julius was signed as an undergraduate by the Squires and when the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA signed him to a "future" contract, the Squires took action to prohibit him from playing with any other team. Julius was traded to Nets, 8-1-73.

They call him "Dr. J."

Back to the Front! Squires card back du jour...

George Irvine

A third-round draft choice out of University of Washington where he was the Huskies' fifth leading all-time scorer, George became a starter for the Squires in 1971-72 when injuries sidelined Neil Johnson and Doug Moe. From the 15-to-18-foot range, George is deadly. He carries better than a 50% mark and it has earned him the nickname of "Hawkeye."

George looks like Mark Spitz of Olympic fame.
