Julius Erving vs Larry Bird 'American Primitive' Illustration

Artist John Henry Gloyne perfectly captures the famous fight between Julius Erving and Larry Bird in 1984, during the heated Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics days. This moment turned into a brawl and cost both legends $7,500 in fines.

Of the event, Erving later said in his autobiography. “I don’t hate Larry. I never hated Larry. I hated Boston. I hated the Celtics. Another classic example of why rivalries were better back in the day.
