Julius Erving Forced To Auction Championship Rings

Considering ABA players got paid :censored:

and worse than NBA players made in that time and the current lockout is about billions of dollars, this is sad. It would be awesome if Prokhorov decided to buy the rings though and hold it close to the organization.

Meh in this other article Dr. J is basically denying that he is broke / that he's selling these things because of pending litigation:

Known on the hardwood as Dr. J, Erving tells The Associated Press on Wednesday he's never been a "hoarder or collector," and plans to donate a portion of the auction proceeds to the Salvation Army. Erving's auction collection includes his 1983 NBA championship ring with the Philadelphia 76ers, a pair of ABA championship rings with the New York Nets, and MVP trophies from each league
