Dominique Wilkins Scoring Highlights 

In today's video, you get to watch one of the most exciting players in NBA history: Dominique Wilkins. He more than held his own whenever he was matched up with the Celtics GOAT front line, and could score over/around anyone in the league during his prime. I know that this video is longer than your average episode of Game of Thrones, but its worth watching. If you have any NBA players that you'd enjoy seeing in the future, please let me know! I actually like NBA basketball more than any other sport, so this channel may start showing more and more hoops as the years go on. - Pocky -

Dominique shouldve been on the 92 Dream Team ahead of Pippen there I said it LOL

Most underrated player in history. How he didn’t make the top 50 all time is a joke... he was no doubt top 25. But never won a title so gets overlooked. UNSTOPPABLE, and everyone knew it- that man had moves for days.

Dominique will likely be remembered most for his spectacular dunking ability, but this guy is one the great offensive scorers of all time. Btw (5:22) you know your pretty special at what you do when you have MJ and Dr.J high fiving each other over a move you made.

That mans 360 spin in the paint and bank shot was UNSTOPPABLE

Nique was so underrated he had the greatest spin move and nobody ever acknowledge how good he was using the backboard, like he said u don't score 26000 off dunks. One of the greatest and should've been 50 greatest even all of his peers said he got robbed.

Glad to see a video that doesn't just focus on dunks. He had a great offensive game. Good postmoves, nice mid range J, & could shoot the three a bit.

That post move on worthy was filthy

Probably looked at by the younger generation as just a dunker, but Dominique had a hell of an all around offensive game

There will NEVER be another player like Nique ever! My all time favorite NBA player.

he had that unstoppable spin move

He had amazing body control

This guy is the king of the spin move. Btw, he would annihilate today's NBA.

Proves MJs greatness that at a time before MJ won rings and when Dominique made deeper playoff runs pre 1987-88, MJ was still considered the best ticket in basketball. And you had this guy Dominique in the league!

Among the SF's, Nique is the MOST PHYSICALLY DOMINANT SCORER of all time! He's in the group with Bron and Dr. J. But the difference between Nique and those two is the WAY Nique could totally dominate a defense off the vertical point of the attack. On top of it Nique is the most EFFECTIVE offensive rebounder of all time. Because Nique was looking to get the offensive rebound, score off of it, and most likely the points would come off a thunderous dunk putting guys on a poster! So for these reasons, I think Nique is the GOLD STANDARD freak athlete among the SF's!! Bron is the best blend of speed, power, and hops among the SF's. Dr. J is the most graceful and flexible in terms of using his freak athletic ability. I consider Vince and T-Mac SG's. Plus Nique's FUNDAMENTALS scoring the rock are underrated. He used the glass scoring AS WELL as any player ever. He followed his shot AS WELL as any player ever. Among SF's, his footwork on the block is arguably the best ever. And his spin move is among the best of all time. He took Earl the Pearl's spin move to another level IN TERMS of what Nique could do out of the spin move! He also used up fakes as well as any SF to play. His midrange shot was a true weapon for damn sure. He shot 81% from the line for his career. And he shot 38% on three point percentage on 120 3's in 1992-1993 and 39% on 112 3's in 1994-1995. So he even became a very effective three point shooter. Among the SF's, Nique's blend of freak athletic ability AND scoring skill is among the best of all time.

One of the greatest SFs! He deserved to win an NBA ring. He was so enjoyable to watch! We missed these type of players!

My personal favorite NBA legend

Nique was so electrifying! One of those classic players who deserved a championship run. He was unforgettable. And he was so much more than a dunker. The hop steps, double clutching shots and lay ups, he had great footwork, I saw some reverse pivots and spin moves. He had an array of unstoppable moves. Top 50 for sure

This man took it to the cup and scored routinely at a time when hand checking was legal and every team had very physical and very intimidating big men. No one in NBA history, not even Jordan, could do it like DW. Nobody.

Awesome video as always. Thanks for this Uber ride down memory lane. Loved Nique back in the 80s with the high top Brooks and S-Curl fade, my favorite in game dunker of all time.

DAM! This Video is the best I've seen of The Human Highlight Film Yet!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Thank You for editing this and compiling all these highlights.

His style was so awesome. Nique, Drexler, and Jordan had the dopest style as elite scorers in that era.

Love this video. One of the best at using that backboard off his jumper.

bruh nobody can guard the quickness of that spin in the post lowkey deadly!

One of the biggest "what ifs" in sports history..... the 1985 draft the Hawks already had Wilkins and Willis and they selected John Koncak with the 5th pick leaving Karl Malone on the board to be selected 13th by the Jazz. Ironically Wilkins was drafted by the Jazz so he and Karl were almost teammates on two different occasions.

Nique the MASTER OF THE SPIN MOVE ! ! !

Great memories. Thanks for the amazing work.

he loved the spin move

Nique Wilkins was one of the greatest dunker in NBA -history. Best windmills ever. So stylish, so powerful.

Boy I miss the energy and atmosphere of the old Omni and Skip Carey too! Damn good times.

16:18 A lady screams when Nique is about to attack the basket. that's how much a beast he was.

As long as I draw breath, it will continue to burn the very fibers of my ass, that Dominique was not included in the 1997 50 greatest NBA players of all time. Shaq got in, in only his 5th season, with no championships. Charles Barkley got in, with no championships. Stockton and Malone got in, with no championships. These are just a few. But, what a slap to the face of a man that helped to build the league to where it is today. Do you know how many asses this man put in arena seats, all over this great country ? All of the greats respected him. Especially Larry Bird. How this happened, is simply one of the greatest travesties to ever happen to such a deserving basketball legend. And, no, Atlanta wasn't my team, but you'd best believe that whenever Dominique came to town, no matter what team they faced, it was a sold out crowd. The NBA OWES THIS MAN. RESPECT TO YOU, 'NIQUE !!!!!!!! You definitely ARE among the 50 greatest, to EVER play this game at the professional level.

One of the best scorers ever...he would kill in today's league...he averaged 30 ppg in the tuffest era...never had much help...had Willis not cursed out bird...Wilkins/hawks might have had a chance

Did DW get ever dizzy with all those spins in his career

What a great player

LOVE IT!

RIP -- Pete Van Wieren & Skip Caray.

Loved that spin move

Tremendous athlete capable of volume scoring. The 80s had deep rostered teams like the Celtics, Lakers and Pistons. Atlanta was good, but maybe needed one more superstar to compete.

He was of the main reasons I followed the Hawks back then

Dominique Wilkinssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

He said” left hand, who needs it

It just amazes me that they rank Scottie Pippin and James Worthy over Dominique Wilkins. It's not s GM on all 32' NBA teams that would have chosen a prime Scottie Pippin or a prime James Worthy over a prime Dominique Wilkins.

Reminds me of iverson in how utterly hard they worked to get each bucket. Fitness × hussle

Very talented player

Look how Rodman tried to flop @ 2:13 lol.

Who would you have rather had on your team back then Dominique or Patrick Ewing

One 🕐 Of The NBA Greatest Player Ring Or No Ring. Period I Said That.

This is NICE!

Love it...too bad the last couple minutes is messed up!

The World 🌎 Didn't Won't People Too Know Dominique Was This Good So Most Hawks Game Was Local Broadcast. Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan Got Main Broadcast Like Lakers And Celtics.

Awesome video. However, why do the final few minutes not show?

He could have been the greatest WR, CB of all time in the NFL

Nobody used the baseline any better. He could score from any angle. Nique had to carry the Hawks every night . He didn't Have any HoFers around him. Kids should pay attention to how Nique used that square called the backboard. My all time fav player. I cried like a baby when the Hawks traded him.

Damn, he didn’t really go left or use his left hand much...

Sir spins alot

Guys of Nique's swag and caliber DON'T GET ROBBED in other sports!! I'm talking highlight film type of players who ALSO have the numbers to back it up. And from there revolutionized their sport in terms of their brand of play. Barry Sanders in football doesn't get robbed the way Nique did in terms of accomplishments. Imagine if Barry Sanders DIDN'T make the NFL's Top 100 list. Barry didn't win a ring BUT everybody knows he was among the best RB's ever! And in terms of excitement, he was #1! That would have been a total TRAVESTY if Barry didn't make!!! Yet the NBA shafted Nique and didn't give him his just due. I'm glad he made the top 75 though! Just saying Nique should have been an ABSOLUTE LOCK for the top 50 in 1997! To this day when I talk to casual fans about old school NBA, Nique's name is ALWAYS MENTIONED! When I tell those people Nique didn't make the NBA top 50 back in 1997, they were SHOCKED! They knew of the list and ASSUMED Nique was on there! When they hear he wasn't it was pure shock!

Is it just me or can he only dribble (on an NBA level) with his right hand?

Let me get this straight..... Barkley, Malone, and Stockton ALL played with way more capable talent during their primes than Nique ever had. When Barkley first hit the league, he got to play with many of the guys who were on the 1983 Sixers title team. Sure Dr. J in Barkley's rookie year was past his prime. BUT even that version of Dr. J WAS BETTER than any player Nique got to play with in his prime. Doc was still a legit All Star and still among the top 3-5 players at the SF position. Moses was still a beast and in his prime. Barkley hit a rough spot in Philly after the 83 guys left the team or retired. BUT Barkley got traded to Phoenix and got to play with the deepest team he ever played on in the league. KJ, Dumas, Thunder Dan, Chambers, Ainge, etc. were all on that team. ONCE AGAIN, Nique NEVER GOT CLOSE to playing with that type of talent during his prime! And of course Stockton and Malone had each other. And from there guys such as Hornacek, Jeff Malone, a DPOY in Mark Eaton, etc. Once again, Nique NEVER played with that type of talent around him during his prime. So HOW IS IT that a superstar on Nique's level gets discredited for not winning a ring. BUT guys like Barkley, Malone, and Stockton played on teams THAT were WAY MORE TALENTED yet never won a ring. IF ANYTHING, those guys should catch more heat than Nique does. BECAUSE those guys actually played on teams projected to make the NBA Finals at least. And STILL couldn't win. Nique on the OTHER HAND never played on a team projected to make the NBA Finals. Because Nique NEVER PLAYED WITH a superstar OR perennial All Star type of player in their prime. If you asked David Stern who were the 5-7 players more responsible for helping to grow the league during that 80's Golden Era, Nique's name FOR DAMN SURE be among the guys mentioned. Even when you look at TBS being the top superstation in the country back in the day, Nique being on the Hawks MEANT fans got to see Nique more than a lot of other superstars due to TBS being nationwide pretty much. So once again that's another factor that I'm sure was very valuable to Stern. The two most exciting players in MJ and Nique BOTH were on superstations that were ahead of their time in WGN and TBS respectively! So a lot of us were more exposed to MJ and Nique than any of the other superstar players in that era.

No bus drivers or janitors running up and down that court.

The Dieon Sanders of the NBA
