Voila_Capture393Well, there’s a headline I never expected to write.

Dr. J’s book will come out next week, but NY Post writer Dick Johnson (whose name is just perfect for this story) found an early copy at a local bookstore and dug up this tidbit about Erving’s affair with sportswriter Samantha Stevenson which produced tennis-playing daughter Alexandra Stevenson:

Erving tells how he met Samantha Stevenson — whom he describes on the page as “a smart single woman — a pretty white girl, a bit of a hippie giving off a vibe of availability” — in 1978 when she was covering the Philadelphia 76ers for Sport magazine.

“She becomes someone who helps me unwind if I’m feeling high-strung or stressed. I can drive over and spend a relaxing evening that might even include oral sex,” Erving writes. “I can only remember one time that we actually had intercourse, and that was because she had just gotten this new orthodontia to straighten her teeth. With wire and gleaming metal bristling in her mouth, oral sex was not an option.”

This is why I hate dentists. They’re always screwing with population control.

I do, however, love the nonchalantness of Dr. J’s description. I can drive over and spend a relaxing evening that might even include oral sex. You know, a little popcorn, a glass of wine, maybe a movie and a hummer, too.

The Doctor should really get his own sex column in the Daily News, it would go nice alongside Bernie Parent’s. For real, the 70s-era athletes in this city were just tremendous. And 30 years later, they’re still talking about it… still doing it:

Uh, yeah, but some people do, Corinne.

Anyway, back to Dr. J. Should the braces really come into play? I wouldn’t know. I didn’t become sexually active at 12. But if everything happened the way it was supposed to happen, I would assume that the teeth, and therefore the braces, wouldn’t factor into the equation. Who knows, though. Guess The Doctor didn’t want to find out, and now he’s blaming the dentist. Weird story, man. Weird story.
