Part 2/11:
Born on February 22, 1950, on Long Island, New York, Julius was raised in a challenging environment. With his parents divorcing when he was just three years old and losing his father to tragedy years later, young Julius often took on the role of the protective older brother to his frail sibling, Marvin. Growing up in a housing project, basketball became an escape and an outlet for Julius and his brother, who spent countless hours playing at Campbell Park.
