Julius Erving is only the Net to secure the goalscorer title

1 and the only… The net to win the goalscorer title: Julius Erving

Time: 1973-74 and 1975-76

Background: The New York Nets obtained Erving from Virginia Squires in 1973, right after the Long Island natives led the American Basketball Association with 31.9 of the highest career points per match. The deal sent $ 750,000, George Carter and draft rights to Kermit Washington to Squires for Erving and Willie Sojourner, while also sending cash to the Atlanta Hawks NBA, with whom Erving had signed in 1972, although he never played regular season games for they. When he arrived at the Nets, they only had one winning season in their six years of existence.

Thin: Dr. J immediately reversed the franchise, lifting the Nets to the ABA title in 1974 and 1976 with a pair of MVP playoffs to show. He led the league in scoring both seasons, dropping 27.4 ppg in 1973-74 and 29.3 ppg in 1975-76. The electric striker made the crowd buzz with his acrobatic dunks and picked them up again in the postseason, averaging 31.1 ppg during the championship.

The Other Coming Nearby: 31.5 Rick Barry points per game were the second highest at ABA in 1971-72 and still last as a single season franchise record. Vince Carter had a pair of top-10s completed in 2004-05 (27.5 as Net after trading from Toronto) and 2006-07 (25.2), as Stephon Marbury did, in 2000-01 (23.9) and 1998 -99 (23.4 as Net after trading from Minnesota).

Quote: “I’m not sure who is bigger in New York right now, us or the Twin Towers!” – Erving after the Nets’ won the ABA championship in 1974.

The tail: Months after the Nets’ title 1976, ABA and the NBA joined. The problem is that the Nets have to pay an expansion fee of $ 3.2 million, plus an additional $ 4.8 million compensation to the Knicks. They offered Erving in exchange for waiving fees, but the Knicks refused. In exchange, the Nets sold Erving to 76ers to be able to pay to the NBA.

Legacy: The Hall of Famer went on to play 11 seasons in the NBA, all of which were All-Star campaigns in Philadelphia. He averaged 22 ppg with 76ers, but is still widely regarded as the biggest Net.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
