Recently, Erving made a post (via X) with a photo from when he played for the Squires.

His post had over 500 likes and 7,000 impressions.

He captioned his post: "Just doing my thing.

Many fans commented on his photo.

@DocD19: "incredible talent on that Virginia Squires squad"

@NycRoundball: "Dr J that’s the tweet . Legend"

@GDMLosB: "I've always liked the fact that (aside from the brief stopover in Atlanta) he played for three teams who all had red, white and blue as their color scheme and all had some sort of star spangled motif as their trademark."
