pretty cool - from a 78-79 sixers/spurs playoff game (julius erving about the 18:30 mark):

Very cool. When I went 5-Star many years ago, we actually worked on this exact thing -- getting from mid-court to the rim with one dribble. It wasn't easy!

Cedric Maxwell was my model for getting the most out of one dribble. He was hardly a dribbling ace, but he had long strides and could go from standing at the 3-pt line, to the rim, with one bounce.
