I remember when the Sixers paired Doc Erving with George McGinnis. They were hailed as the greatest forward duo in NBA history, even before they played one game together. Throw in Chocolate Thunder (Darryl Dawkins), Steve Mix, World B. Free, and Doug Collins, and whoa, no one was sure how many games they would win. The Lakers then single-season record of 69 wins was certainly in peril.
