For years no one knew that Dr. J was the father of tennis pro Alexandra Stephenson. Only until she started to gain some recognition on the tour that the truth came out.
Dr. J is writing an autobiography and he talks about how Alexandra was conceived. It isn’t a romantic story, here is the excerpt from The Big Lead courtesy of Page Six.
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.”
Like I said, not very romantic, but honest.
