Erving and Pitino on Instagram w/Chris Russo

Saw this clip and thought I’d share it here:

Rick may have been good, but Al was better.

Sorry Doc, UMass did not make the NCAA tournament the next year, although they probably would have if you had stayed.

Other than the small Tournament error, and Chris Russo being super annoying, that was great! Nice to see Julius and Rick reconnect.

That was awesome, thanks LS. Julius has to be one of most humble superstars of all time, couldn't ask for a better representative of UMass.

Absolutely. Always carries himself with class. Well before me at UMass but always my favorite growing up.
