Dominique Wilkins Tells His Life Story (Full Interview) 

It was indeed an honor to do this interview. -Vlad

Nique has been my favorite player since I was 8 years old. I'm now 44 and ain't SHIT changed 💯📽️

Love him met him back in 1992 hes a legend he deserved to be on the dream team

Greatest era of Basketball 🏀 💯❤️

Dominique is so legendary you don't even need the click bait topics in the title.

One of my favorite players ever .The most unappreciated players to ever place the game . Retired at 7th leading scorer of all time not even a first ballot HOF .Never played with another HOF in their prime . Congratulations Nique , the nba finally giving you some respect.

Classy guy, & legendary on the court. I was a kid growing up in Atlanta in the 90’s & was a Hawks fan. Saw him play once, at the Omni I believe.

'Nique brought a lot of great times to Atlanta back in the day. He held the city down. I hung out with him countless times. He had a nice club in the "A" back then called "Club 21" It was the place to be back then. 'Nique is a great down to earth dude.

Exceptional level of professionalism on and off the court! Never heard any issues about Dominique Wilkins from the start of his career till this day!!

Thank you for uploading the entire interview for free Vladimir 🔥

I love how he sticks up for Larry Bird the way he does. He saw it first hand for 10 years what Larry was serving and he was no joke!

This is my favorite basketball interview so far. I grew up on Dominique Wilkins. What great dude.

What he went through to get to where he got is amazing

One of the greatest dunkers of all time.

Thank you. I was waiting for the full interview. Dominique Wilkins, a Legend of basketball 🏀

Terrific interview, finally another black intelligent smart business well represented MAN

The human highlight film

The players from the 80s were really skilled. They didn’t focus so much on 3 point shots back then but the defensive skills and mid range shots were amazing..👍🏽

I have followed Dominique since that historic H.S class of 1979 and this is the first time i EVER heard that Dominique is 6'9".He was ALWAYS listed at 6'7 or 6'8". Bird was always listed at 6'9", but I've heard a few players say he's actually 6'10".

Legend of all legends!!!!

For me as a kid it was Dr.J, Dominique Wilkins, Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan. The basketball players posters that were on my wall in that order!💯

How could you NOT serve Dominique Wilkins IN Atlanta? That's insane

Watching THIS man PLAY....SMH... AMAZING...

He's worldly, he keeps it real. Wilkins is a likeable guy. I'm glad he had that Euro experience.

Jacques Dominique Wilkins a true Hall of Famer and a class act.

ALRIGHT HERE WE GO, THE WHOLE INTERVIEW IS HERE, WELCOME TO VLADTV!!! LONG TIME FAN! So this is your first time here, so I want to start in the very beginning. It is, what it is, Dominique Wilkins, always a pleasure, until next time, PEACE!!!

Dominique one of my favorite players growing up

He really should have won that dunk contest against MJ

Great interview one of my favorite basketball players ever watched the entire thing

Dominque, you had a great career sir, you seem like an even better person. Thanks for sharing your story, got your authentic uni with the Hawks. God bless

What a cool, easy going guy. I love his chill attitude about stuff that today’s athletes get so upset about😊

The true half-man half-amazing

A great basketball player, dunk champion and good guy. Dominique Wilkins. Arguably, the greatest dunker in league history. Respect.

NBA LEGEND!!!

Wow, fantastic interview with Mr. Dominique. This is the first time in many decades I’ve ever heard him speak one of the great ones. I’m glad that he has his say in his own words thanks for sharing💯☺️

Met Nique at the Omni in Atlanta, Ga in 1986. Signed my jersey and took a Polaroid. Spent 3-4 mins just chatting. What a down to earth nice guy.

Oh I waited for this full interview one of the G.O.A.T dunkers of all-time and the G.O.A.T hawk I watch all his interviews the Human Highlight Flim Top 75 player

Maaaannn I thought I was D Wilkins back in da day like a MF😂. RESPECT & SALUTE 💐💐💐💪🏾✊🏾💯

My favorite NBA Player of ALL Time! Bucket List is to meet him in person one day and shake his hand! 👊🏾

Good successful and feel good interview Vlad. Nique is a legend.

Mr. Wilkins was the most over-powerful and beyond-amazing player EVER.. Now, if you have qualms, did you see him play his last two years at Georgia, his first four years with the Hawks..? Watch his highlight clips; there will never again be another 'Nique..

Nique spot on when it came to talk about Larry Bird.

After 30 years I finally hear why dominic did that move to greece thank you Vlad

Dominique was a bad man!!!!!!

It feels like he’s been releasing parts of this interview for about 2 months😂😂

Les Martin Jr. Man,Vlad,Good Choice in getting the Mighty D.W.on the show.Hell of a Ballplayer.!Loved watching him get busy on the court.Definitly one of the best Ever!

Still rockin the Reebok Twilight Zone pump proudly to salute this living legend. You the man Nique!!!

Great Interview! Dominique is a classy dude, much respect. Im so glad that I got to witness the greatness of The Human Highlight Reel! 💪🏾

Lmao at the larry bird part Larry was talkin mad shit 😂

Vlad they will appreciate your work when you are gone. It’s sad to say but that’s how it is because most people don’t realize that you are literally documenting our culture in HipHop/Sports etc.. It means allot to me because I see the vision!! Appreciate it 🫡

Nique always my hero outside of me and his hero/idol Julius 'Dr. J' Erving, was my dude when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs 💯💯💯💯

Love him as a commentator for the hawks

Dominique is the 2nd greatest offensive player of all time behind Jordan. PERIOD

Just saw him grocery shopping not too long ago, and now this lol. Awesome

I love this guy as a great. Nice guy like Bill Russell.

Great interview. One of my favorite players growing up. Still salty about the 88 dunk contest

Living Legend 🙏🏾✊🏾

one of the most famous interviews on vald yet💯

GREAT MAN, GREAT PLAYER, GREAT INTERVIEW! 🏀

Team usa can still dominate with a team of shooters like steph klay, harden, keri…but those are generational talent

Dominique is the truth......

Dominique was the player all the players admired

Niq is so cool! I actually met him once and you would think we had known each other for 30 years! ❤

My favorite player ever. My name in French class was Dominique because of him

Incredible story.

Shoutout to the legends of the game watching this

Moved back to the United States from Hong Kong (went there at 3) when I was 9 and knew nothing of American sports and pop culture. First to Chicago. Then, in the early 80s, to Atlanta. My first true loves in American sports were Joe Montana and the Niners and Magic and the Lakers. The Lakers especially because I had a loud, foul mouthed Uncle from Boston who worshipped Red, Bird, and the Green (miss him). I went all in on the Purple and Gold and the Magic Bird rivalry. I was fully Magic. I was in Atlanta and the Hawks were the local team. No one cared. Sports there were pretty much Hershel Walker and Georgia Bulldog football, with a small side of Dale Murphy. Until… First game I attended at the Omni was to watch this rookie blowing up the league named Jordan. He had an insane 40 point game streak and it was also ACC basketball country at a time when Georgia Tech was pretty good. Jordan was well known around the ATL. A funny thing happened though… ‘Nique, a player from Georgia U no less (not sure anyone knew they had a basketball team then, Vince Dooley and Herschel era) crashed the party. I think he dropped 57 and I was hooked. He’s the most explosive player I’ve ever seen, especially the put back dunks from orbit, and easily the most underrated in NBA history. I was literally at Staples for the Lakers comeback in the 4th against Portland and the iconic Kobe ally-oop to Shaq, and even as a Laker diehard it still didn’t surpass watching ‘Nique, with friends in high school, go head to head with Bird, in Boston, in the fourth quarter of game 7. RU-vid highlights of the game just can't covey how truly surreal it was watching those two hit every damn shot they took, no matter how difficult. It actually got to the point where we cared less about the game and the win, and low key rooted for Bird to hit same as 'Nique just to keep the magic going! It remains the memorable period of time in a pro sports game for me. BTW: ‘Nique looks fantastic. Whatever he's doing (stopped drinking, new diet, or whatever) it’s the best he’s looked in years.

Great great player!! Ring or not he was awesome!! Salute to Nique!! 🫡

Nique, mad respect Brother. You, corrected these youngin's about, Bird❤💯💯💯💯 They need to understand the game, in all aspects, before they speak out of turn , disrespecting those, who've paved the way. IDC what color a person is. If they're Good, THEY'RE GOOD.💯💯💯💯

I got to meet him yesterday

I play basketball at his house out here in GA. His daughter is my Patna !!!

Dominique Wilkins is a class act.

Atlanta Legend…S/O to my city

Dom is such a class.

I just want to say this for all Basketball Players, YOU GONNA RESPECT THE PAINT. end of story

Great guy.

VLAD WHAT THE F@@@@ 30 PART INTERVIEW!!!! GETTING A LITTLE RIDICULOUS NO?😊

Love Niq❤

You can see the pain in his eyes when talking about the bus incident.

Legend 🔥🔥🔥

Vlad: "The Hocks" Don't get me wrong I butcher plenty words I just think "Hocks" is hilarious 😂😂😂.

Legends I see

I saw Dominique play at my high school when he played for Washington high school it’s called little Washington NC ! Dean Smith came to see him when he was a senior! Him and another kid from north Pitt high school who went wake forest !

‘nique 👑

The best

In the Mid/Late 80's Would Run into Him & other players at "the Cutt Above" Barber Shop off Washington rd & Camp Creek in Atlanta.

Thanks to Ted Turner for putting the Hawks on TBS and TNT on every cable system in America back then. Otherwise I wouldn't have been a huge 'Nique fan in NY. I was able to watch the Hawks more than the Knicks or Nets.

Man I miss the enforcer era of basketball the sport is missing that

I love The Human Highlight Film!! He was so much fun to watch. He was clutch and he could dunk as well as (if not better) than MJ.

This dude is my best player ever then dr j then magic ,kyrie,then Jordan, then Paul pierce, them grant hill ,Tracy McGrady then jimmy jackson , then Larry bird , this dude here is humble an grown love his spirit)) vlad stop trying to get him talk bad abt Jordan

I was waiting for the '86 recap but unfortunately looks like it was edited out. Hoping to hear him talk about Spud more, his scoring title, and the '86 playoffs. One of those games he was shooting bad, so Fratello benched his in the 3rd quarter. Seemed odd because they weren't beating the Celtics without him.

Just looked it up He Average 19.0ppg & 6 Rebounds for the Spurs! He held it down but the Organization TANKED For Duncan (Smart) But they Should've Kept Nique & got Him a Ring!!

He looks awesome

NIIIIIIIIIIQUE!!

Sylvester Stallone does have a statue next to the famous stairs he trained on in the Rocky movie in Philadelphia.
