Dr. J: 'Rocky' Is Great, But My Statues Are King In Philly

EXCLUSIVE

In a super-fight between the Rocky Balboa and Dr. J statues in Philly, it’s a KNOCKOUT win for the doc — so says Julius Erving himself. 

You might’ve heard … Erving just got a 2nd statue in The City of Brotherly Love decades after his 1st one was unveiled — a slam-dunkin’ sculpture on the 76ers’ Legends Walk.

So when we saw doc at LAX, we had to ask who’s effigy gets more love — his, or Sylvester Stallone‘s?

Julius told TMZ Sports he gets the nod ’cause he’s got 2 … and ’cause his are “a real person, engaged in real battles.”
