I love these interviews with Wilkins. He always gives people credit and understands it is all about competition and not personal. Such a class act and a hell of a player
Nique was my first all time favorite player. I was born in 83 and we didn't have cable tv or video games. My dad worked at the bar in detroit (only job he ever had and it was for a couple weeks 😂) and he would buy stolen VHS 📼 tapes and he got me NBA superstars and NBA dazzling dunks and basketball bloopers. Fell in with with basketball and the human highlight reel Dominique Wilkins. We had the same nickname Nique. Thats what my entire family callede me since i was born. I never in my life seen someone else with that name. I would practice his dunks on a imaginary rim over my door with socks rolled up as a basketball.
Bro no lie, Nique is my all time favorite player also. I was Born in 1979. In Mississippi. They called me Nique growing up because of him. Jus good to see there's someone else out there like me 🫡. My dad is named Aaron also....
There's a video of Shaq popping Alvin a couple times in the head and Alvin going crazy trying to get to Shaq. I don't know what Alvin said to Shaq to make him pop him tho.
@@Don_Winchester "built for the bench" ? They were starters the majority of their careers, and All Defensive team players. Oakley was a one time All Star, All Defensive first team in '94, and played most of 19 seasons. Tree was All Defensive first team in '84, played 18 seasons, and the first Clemson player to have his jersey retired. They were good enough to last long enough to be bench players at the end of their careers.
Having an “enforcer” was a prerequisite on every team back in the day. Put some respect on these legends for the physicality they endured to be great and today we’ve got pampered “so-called” superstars flopping saying they could play in the 80-90’s era. Yeah… ok?
@@purplestate Driving to the basket and finishing with contact takes what… skill. That’s with legit shot blockers that would also commit hard fouls as a warning to stay outside the lane. In today’s game, players dribble the duration of the shot clock then drive with the lane wide open while having zero shot blockers. You tell which players and era had more skill?
He certainly did deserve it, but Dominique got "snubbed" because he had no "credentials" = no ring(s), no conference championship(s), no scoring or rebounding title(s). Alex English, Bob McAdoo, Artis Gilmore, and James Worthy, were also "snubbed" at the NBA 50 at 50 list.
100, back in the day if you wanted to see people shoot all day you go to the playground, what made the NBA different was it wasnt a game for kids, it was grown man battling. Now its just back to the playground.
Formal. Like I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I remember Stephen Jackson. He wasn't known for nor was fighting like that like them guys. Barnes fought more than Jack. Jack just was apart of the Malice bullshit and just ran with it like he was a killa!!
@@nickbrooks2408 exactly! that’s the only on court scuffle i’ve ever seen him in. notice how matt been in more shit than him and never be talking like he the toughest. cause when you’re really who you say you are, proving it to people is not even something you think about much
Imagine getting your ass beat on the court then you mad cause your teammates didn't clear the bench and you try fighting them only to your knowledge to find out they nicer than the opps with they hands 😂😂😂
Why does Jackson talk like he’s part of the BACK IN THE DAY SQUAD> no ninja, you are part of the current era, just old af. Tony Allen , z Bo, Kobe, AI, etc. that was your era. Not with bad boys pistons etc.
I love old school BB and yes it was a rougher time!? If you want to see old school fights show the video when Willis Reed beat up on half the Lakers team! And, he threatened his own teammates for holding him back! Kareem was scared to death of Willis. Oh yes he was, also I will add this tidbit, Willis said that there was "absolutely nothing he could do to guard Wilt". He was much to strong but to be fair Willis had a few good games against Wilt! Reed was the Capt." So far I'm liking your Podcast, you let your guest tell their tales/stories! And you lay back and listen. I'm 75y/o I was 9 in 1958 when I saw my first NBA game on WPIX NYC, I fell in love with BB, I took a wire hanger and made a rim, balled up a sock and practiced my hook shot! At 8 I actually thought I would grow to be 6"10!😅 The first clear day i was out practicing. I learned to shoot watching TV. As I got older I was good enough to start on a "little guy and later Biddy basketball on 8.5 foot baskets!😮 Listening to you guys brought back a lot of memories.
1980's , 1990's NBA was like playground Basketball with Refs in the game. Michael Jordan got fouled like 3 times in the same play before ref even called the foul. 😳
Rick Mahorn was among the dirtiest of the "dirty" players. As Dominique said - he would just cheap shot you with no reason. Really a perfect fit for the "Bad Boys" Pistons of that era (and they still claim to have learned it from the Celtics, lol).
😅😅That’s how me and my Brother (military) from Alabama met. He slapped 👋 someone in formation, when I asked why, he gave the same answer as Dominique…lol
Of course they didn't know what a Flagrant Foul was in the 80's... That was implemented to Jordan a chance to win...1st year it was established WITH fines and suspensions, was first year Jordan won his 1st title...rest is history
When Basketball was actually fun to watch. Now..i could NOT be bothered. I dont even know who the players are these days. Im only here to listen to Dominique
And this is why when someone scores 30 points today, I'm not impressed. No one can touch anyone. As someone who grew up with this kind of ball, I laugh when people say Draymond is one of the dirtiest players ever. NO HE'S NOT! First of all, he wouldn't even be playing in the NBA in the 80s and 90s, because he wouldn't be able to get any rebounds and can't score! Take any player today and put them in the 80s and 90s and their point total goes down. Conversely, put a dude like Dominique in today's game? Shoot, he'd average 45 if he felt like it!
That's what young people don't understand: overdribbling is not a skill. Only reason why guys do it is because the defender is handcuffed. Skill is getting handchecked and forced to a certain direction and still shooting near 50% from the field. That's skill. Prancing around in one place and dribbling for ten seconds and still ending up with a forced shot, that's for the clowns out there.
That’s when being physically stronger than a guy was an advantage🤣ask Wayne Gretzky about a skilled player taking a beating, in all contact sports this was a strategy and us older guys 😢 🤣🤣🤣
@@lp3860 funny thing is back them they banned the zone so it was way more one on one so talking about handicapped defenders is disingenuous. They have double teams that were illegal then. If someone really knew to dribble then they would be spamming dribbles
I don't care what they say,tree Rollins or Oakley would have slapped me they would've gotten shot immediately! These guys are only tuff on the court with cameras and security
Oakley was a bully,he knew who to step to ( like most bullies ) he never stepped to Shaq or Hakeem,Hakeem liked throwing them hands before he became a muslim. LOL.
Those dudes weren’t different back then. If it’s only a $500 suspension compared to $25,000-100k these players today would slap the shit out of each other too

The NBA was wild back in the days.
Wild West.
It was even Wilder as the 1960's wound down. You would get cheap shots like Dominique took, and no body would even get off the bench to fight it out.
Remember when Mchale took Rambis out the air 😂😂😂
Entertaining as h*ll.
Barkley smacked oakley on the court
As an ATLien we appreciate and love you Mr. Wilkins
Much respect to Nique ... I appreciate the hustle , heart and grit you guys played with
Skill too
If you made to the NBA then you had Skill ...
I like the old clips you added. Sets you apart from other pods.

Mahorn is definitely a psycho 😂he was always smiling
Yup, sinister smile 🤣
Wasn’t Isaiah batting at his face and he just had a Cheshire grin?
And today they complain on each others podcasts about having to play more then 65 games. New ERA
Flagrant foul we didn't know what that was in the 80s .
Never heard of it!
The flagrant foul wasn’t introduced in the NBA until like 1991.
There was no flagrant foul in the 80s.
That's when men played the game 🏀
