Took away so much credibility from the list, the only thing I've ever been able to think is that Dominique's statistical playoff totals were very low compared to many of the others on the list, he never made it out of the 2nd round. Still, the voting process failed Wilkins for sure. People were not happy Shaq made the list after 4 seasons. Dominique was pretty much as good at Age 37 as he was at Age 23....the guy was an athletic freak, smart player, carried every team he went to. People think of him as an Atlanta Hawk, but he was really the main guy pretty much everywhere he went, Clippers, Celtics, Spurs, he carried all of those teams as far as they could go too.
Speak of Dominique and Shaq, you can add Dream Team to the list of snubs. I know, that team couldn't have survived without the Laettner Legend, but one of Dominique, Shaq, Isiah, or Grant Hill would've been nice.
Dominique Wilkins had a season ending Achilles injury in January of 1992, he missed the All-Star game and was not in the running to be selected for the Dream Team. The final spot went to Clyde Drexler over Isiah Thomas, I believe the final spot was mainly chosen over who had the best season in 1991-92.
Well I know as of the All-Star Game in February 1992, 10 of the players had already been selected to the Dream Team, it definitely gets brought up during the broadcast. The final spots came down to who had the best NCAA tournament (Laettner) and I believe the final spot was Isiah vs Drexler. Drexler got the 12th spot, and I believe it was solely because of his performance in the 1991-92 season. Isiah should have been in the first ten selections, but he was disliked by Jordan, Bird, and at that time Magic truly did not like Isiah either. The rumor was Magic had found out through the grapevine that Isiah was going around telling everyone that Magic Johnson got HIV from having gay sex. Isiah's defense was that he would never say that, being the one guy who was already known to kiss Magic in public. I don't know if Magic has ever truly thought of Isiah as a real friend since those days, it took Magic a long time to forgive him.
@Eddy ValenicaAgreed! Under performing, lack of having a competitive drive. Lack of physicality, players teaming up with each intentionally and lastly a league that just doesn't have enough superstars. The current NBA does have some issues that needs addressing!
Wilkins was always such an explosive high-flyer, that other parts of his game usually get ovelooked. He was really strong and had a great post game. With the Spurs he was used at times as a PF. Look at him bang with Dennis Rodman here. In the current NBA, a prime Wilkins could easly play the PF spot.
I don't know what's more interesting: the fact that Dominique replaced the player he was against in this game, or the player the Spurs drafted that following offseason to become Dominique's replacement.
I don't care WHAT people say about LBJ....Jordan's FIRST STEP was the most explosive first-step of ALL-TIME. He would DUST any defender within the FIRST step like no-1 before or since. This is why he could draw a foul, basically, whenever he wanted.
Correct and his quick first step helped make him a great score. Lbj doesn't have a great first step which is why I dont think of him as an explosive scorer of the basketball.
I remember this season as the Spurs were struggling while Robinson and Elliot missed a lot of games. Wilkins was the best player on the team and through the first half of the season led the team in points and rebounds per game.
fahd s Jordan overshadowed a lot of great player, he overshadowed a generation even his own teammate Scottie Pippen. During Jordan's era, there's a lot of great players, legends i could say, that could easily destroy todays NBA. But because of MJ, there were unrecognized bec they dont win a championship. It becomes a bulls dynasty.
Overshadowed stars Barkley, Ewing, Kemp, malone, Stockton, drexler, hardaway, Mullins, miller, hill....Hakeem, robinson and shaq only won championships because jordan either retired or he was way past his prime.
Nick Gilliam I remember around when I was 8 or 9 years old seeing Jordan's fade away thinking he's gotta be hanging in the air for like 4 seconds and thinking this is the most beautiful fucking shot I've seen!
Excellent video, brought back great memories. Dominique had so much flair and was entertaining to watch. This was late in his career and after the Achilles injury and he still brought it.
I was born in 88 so I didn't see Dominique in his prime. But I did see MJ in his championship glory but still I've always wondered why ain't Dominique one of the 50 greatest players?
He was seen as a 1 dimensional player. He only made 1 all NBA first team, averaged less than 3 APG for his career, did not win a championship and was seen as a weak defender. He could score and definitely could dunk, no doubt about that.
He was robbed. He was better than Pippen , Worthy, Drexler. Shaq was premature on the list. No way Nique at that time wasn't top 50. Even the legendary players said this (Magic, Bird, Barkley, Dr J)
Duncan, who coincidentally, replaced Dominique (both position and number). And Dominique, coincidentally, replaced the guy lined up across from him in this game.
@Domini478 Just a reminder that Dennis Rodman was previously the power forward in San Antonio. Now that I look back on it my statement was inaccurate since Rodman left the Spurs for the Bulls in the 1995 offseason whereas Dominique joined the Spurs in the 1996 offseason, so I didn't account for the one-year gap between them.
People who are over 40 know very well how good MJ was. It wasn’t hype, he was and still is the best to ever play the game. Oh and by the way, I’d take Dominique any day o we labron.
Dooby Cooks Duncan got drafted in 1997 because the team that ‘Nique was on had terrible injuries to David Robinson and Sean Elliott. ‘Nique was only on the Spurs for one season: ‘96-‘97. The game in this video is one of the games from that season. Also, it’s worth mentioning that Gregg Popovich took over as head coach in December 1996, roughly. Amazing to think about the fact that two seasons after this, the Spurs would win their first title. They went from hell to heaven pretty fast after getting Tim. They really only needed one more great player like him. They go from missing the playoffs in ‘97 to getting to the semifinals in ‘98 and winning the title in ‘99.
I loved Dominique Wilkins. I’d set my my Casio calculator watch alarm for EVERY GAME that the Hawks played on WTBS. The first thing I’d do when the paperboy would run, was get the paper, go to the Sports section, and check the Hawks box score. My favorite player, ever, still.
In the 1982 NBA draft (an awesome draft year), Dominique Wilkins wanted to be drafted by the Lakers (who had the overall pick) he said he shed tears when the Lakers didn’t select him. A fellow North Carolinian named Big Game James Worthy was the lucky guy and the rest is history.
Basketball royalty on that court. Both had respect for each other, Jordan was a showtime protege of nique, nique switched Jordan’s competitiveness and finesse on each time they played
If Nique was guarded by VDN, he'd have a pile of points as well. Instead he got Rodman, who was a perennial 1st defensive team. They were both awesome, I was just a Nique fan. One of the greatest...just played for Atlanta who never really has contested.
Nique.... Most underrated player, maybe ever! Should have easily been top 50! Who voted? WTF? Anyway....#Truetoatlanta!! Now, Get em Trae! 2019 and beyond!💯
MJ had such strong lift in his legs that not even taller players could block his jumpers. Amazing. Kobe didn't have this sort of explosion in his legs so he had to compensate with his long extended arms on his turn around jumpers.
Wilkins is one of the greastest of all time that has always been underrated, always was in the shadow of Jordan of his era. Was a shame that he didn't crack the top 50 back in 96.
Dominique never had the cast during his Atlanta days as Jordan, however nique could go toe to toe with the best of them, remember the game 7 battle between Dominique and Larry bird? Shot for shot, Dominique is to Vince Carter the way Jordan is to Kobe, however Dominique was a force once upon a time,just like Vince Carter was
I hope we ALL know Jordan would've gotten to 25K points a lot faster if he didn't retire that first time and would've ended his career with way more than 30K points, maybe the all time scoring leader.
He is, he hits at a higher percentage and has waaaay better range. Jordan isn't hitting the threes Bron is and Bron hits that fadeaway from any angle. You can scour the internet for all the Jordan videos ever and see he never hits the type of shots Bron is consistently hitting. Jordans offense is more comparable to DeMar DeRozan or Joe Johnson type of player.
Lebron has improved a lot on terms of shooting. However calling him better than mj in fadeaway shot is probably due to not having watched Jordan playing. You're probably too young. Even Drexler's fadeway is heads and shoulder above Lebron. Plus, Lebron has become a good shooter too late in his carrier. He really can't keep it up on both ends of the flour for some years now.
@@themaster804 Lebron always finds excuses for not winning rings..In the beginning he was complaining he was alone..Then they got him a team to help him out..Still he didnt do anythin..Again transfered..Again failed..Nowadays he only cares about his stats..You can't compare a player like that, to Jordan..Jordan had a winners mentality..And also ,even Cobe was better than him..Both inferior to MJ though..Common sense..!!!
Dominique was disrespected in 1996 when he didn't make the top 50 players and he's disrespected today by today's media and youngsters. Dominique was one of the 5-6 greatest scorers the game had seen up until this point! Let that sink in! To think that Tracy McGrady, a guy that never even made it out the first round of the playoffs, is more respected than Dominique. It's cool bro. We REAL basketball fans appreciate your greatness. Definitely a top 50 player and one of the best perimeter players ever!
Nique had no problem scoring against Rodman. How many players can make Rodman look like an insignifigant defender? Nique was easily top 20 scorers of all-time.
@Ulysses432 thank you! You may check for the best Greek players in the Euroleague since 2000. We shouldn't forget mentioning the greek MJ, Nikos Galis (Hall of famer)
@ 8:15 there you have it folks it's originally about who got to 25kpoints the fastest and not the LeBron way when they fake da status of getting past Jordan with alot more games played.
MICHAEL JORDAN IS A PHENOMENON AND ALSO DOMINIQUE WILKINS WAS A GREAT PLAYER (NOT AS GREAT AS M.J OF COURSE) AND IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE BEST 5 SMALL FORWARDS EVER PLAYED THE GAME!!!!!
Phil Jackson was the difference, 7 years in the league...MJ was a Dominique Wilkins, enter Phil and Tex Winter (triangle offense), results 6 titles, just ask Kobe and Shaq

Alson the way he dominated Rodman.

saturndual32 They used him as center some of the time this season because Robinson was out all season, CENTER!!!
im2hastyle mostly cause he was fat and slow
im2hastyle you do what you gotta do when you're tanking for Tim Duncan lol.
aaron gordon with better overall game
Wilkin’s windmill dunk can never be matched
I don't care WHAT people say about LBJ....Jordan's FIRST STEP was the most explosive first-step of ALL-TIME. He would DUST any defender within the FIRST step like no-1 before or since. This is why he could draw a foul, basically, whenever he wanted.
Correct and his quick first step helped make him a great score. Lbj doesn't have a great first step which is why I dont think of him as an explosive scorer of the basketball.
To be honest nique and Shawn Kemp had kicker take offs look up there highlights.
he had a stutter hesitation dribble that froze defenders, he could drive or pull up from it...
@@ryanadams6458 dumb ash😹
When basketball was great and life was simple. Man I would give anything to go back to those times.
JORDAN and that fade-away.. Probably the most unstoppable move, next to Kareem and his sky hook.
Dominique was a cool player and a beautiful dunker.
I remember this season as the Spurs were struggling while Robinson and Elliot missed a lot of games. Wilkins was the best player on the team and through the first half of the season led the team in points and rebounds per game.
Dominique would have had more respect and appreciation had Jordan not been around. He was completely overshadowed by him during his career
Jordan overshadowed a lot of people!!!
MJ overshadowed a generation...
I agree
fahd s Jordan overshadowed a lot of great player, he overshadowed a generation even his own teammate Scottie Pippen. During Jordan's era, there's a lot of great players, legends i could say, that could easily destroy todays NBA. But because of MJ, there were unrecognized bec they dont win a championship. It becomes a bulls dynasty.
Overshadowed stars Barkley, Ewing, Kemp, malone, Stockton, drexler, hardaway, Mullins, miller, hill....Hakeem, robinson and shaq only won championships because jordan either retired or he was way past his prime.
Im starting to think that MJ's fadeaway is more unstoppable than the sky hook
Nick Gilliam damn near
Nick Gilliam I remember around when I was 8 or 9 years old seeing Jordan's fade away thinking he's gotta be hanging in the air for like 4 seconds and thinking this is the most beautiful fucking shot I've seen!
Ro'Shaun Goolsby no it wasn't
Pippen/Rodman wasn't guarding him....
L
Michael and Dominique 2 of the best to "EVER" do it -STILL MOTIVATING in 2019-2020
You don't see two superstar players competing like this against each other's team in today's NBA.
Excellent video, brought back great memories. Dominique had so much flair and was entertaining to watch. This was late in his career and after the Achilles injury and he still brought it.
nique was almost 40yo. Impressive
Plus, he was never the same after the achilles injury. He didn't have that powerful first move anymore.
@Great White Cat no, almost 37
He was out there shooting 3's when he used to be unstoppable going to the bucket.
Idc what anyone says, this was a great era for the NBA. Good to great games every night, star players on pretty much every team, and great defense.
Mj midrange game was simply the most unbeatable move I've seen from any NBA great player.
Amazing Jordan makes his free throws and plays defense.
Mj, malone, Duncan, jabbar, wilkins, Carter, ginobili, players with unreal performances at 38-40 years old
Nique and Jordan had great respect for each other. Never hear jordan or nique say a cross word about each other
Real wrap
I was born in 88 so I didn't see Dominique in his prime. But I did see MJ in his championship glory but still I've always wondered why ain't Dominique one of the 50 greatest players?
Ro'Shaun Goolsby nique was a killer
Sterlin Jordan How is that when I saw it on TV just like the rest of the people around in the 90s?
AVERY TATE Just off what I have seen I know. It's like he said on time I had 26,000 career points all of them wasn't dunks and layups!
Ro'Shaun Goolsby yea cuz he couldn't jump or drive once he left the hawks
He was seen as a 1 dimensional player. He only made 1 all NBA first team, averaged less than 3 APG for his career, did not win a championship and was seen as a weak defender. He could score and definitely could dunk, no doubt about that.
I will never understand how Nique did not make top 50 players list.
mark lee who you taking off the list
Edgar Davids shaq.. he said himself he didn't deserve to be on that list he was only in his 3rd or 4th season
krlm2280 true but in the long run we can see that Shaq is far greater than Wilkins
Shaq for sure
He was robbed. He was better than Pippen , Worthy, Drexler. Shaq was premature on the list. No way Nique at that time wasn't top 50. Even the legendary players said this (Magic, Bird, Barkley, Dr J)
Thanks to David Robinson, missed almost the entire season in 1997, won a first draft pick to get Tim Duncan.
Duncan, who coincidentally, replaced Dominique (both position and number). And Dominique, coincidentally, replaced the guy lined up across from him in this game.

My two favorite players!! Loved my childhood watching these two go at it was must see tv.
Dominique and Isiah should have been on tht dream team
Dominique wilkins as well was a tremendous player, what a scoring player.
Dominique Wilkins should not have been traded, but business is business no sentiments..
Hats off to Dominique, one of the greatest. 🙏🏻
Automatically subbed!! Mj is the goat. And Nique is one of my favorite players of all time. One of the many greats that doesn't have a ring.
Wilkins was a fantastic player! For some reason he often gets overlooked, by the NBA itself in particular.
A Era de Ouro do Basquete NBA. Sensacional Jordan, Wilkins, Pippen. Show NBA!
It is a shame how under appreciated Dominique was at the end of his career.
Like Mike was with the Wizards...
People who are over 40 know very well how good MJ was. It wasn’t hype, he was and still is the best to ever play the game. Oh and by the way, I’d take Dominique any day o we labron.
My favorite 2 players of all time. 😥
The Spurs used Nique that season and cast him aside once they got Robinson back and Duncan in the draft, no respect.
I used to love watching them atl vs Chicago battles with those 2 in the 90s.
Prime Nique was as good as any of the greatest ever, yes including Jordan, Bird, Magic..
Truth
The goats fade away was un-fucking-stoppable
I Drink liberal Tears!! Reminds me of The Dreams ...
I Drink liberal Tears!! It was a thang of beauty!
'Nique should have been in the the Top 50 and The Dream Team! So disrespected!!

Great video !!! Jordan and Wilkens two of the greats...
Never been a Jordan fan, but he is the G.O.A.T!!!

I did too! Watched TBS and and read sports page in the newspaper the next da. Awsome!

Lebron could NEVER play this good
ijon Method he was already this good
I agree
Wilkins or Jordan?
GTFOH🙄
Not only LeBron but nobody could, MJ Game is in a category all by it self.
Jordan was such a pulverizing figure in this era it overshadowed Dominic Wilkins greatness but nevertheless Nique held his own.....
25,000 point club!..MJ 🐐🐐🐐... 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 7:27
I had no idea Dominique was a good shooter like that
Neither did I
Not from the 3 anyways...
Where have you been all this time?
No young guys think guys from back then could shoot, they could actually do everything.
In the 90s as his athleticism began to fade, Dominique became a decent 3 point shooter.
He wasn’t the great of a shooter until he couldn’t rely on athleticism anymore
In the 1982 NBA draft (an awesome draft year), Dominique Wilkins wanted to be drafted by the Lakers (who had the overall pick) he said he shed tears when the Lakers didn’t select him. A fellow North Carolinian named Big Game James Worthy was the lucky guy and the rest is history.
You should go look up the Dominique vs. Bird games. They used to go at each other for real.

Nique was never the same after the achilles rupture 😢

3:46 that rebound with the smack is the most satisfying feeling
😅😅👍🏾
Wilkins is one of the greastest of all time that has always been underrated, always was in the shadow of Jordan of his era. Was a shame that he didn't crack the top 50 back in 96.
In the old days, I would have Wilkins instead of Jordan any day.
Wilkins led the Spurs in scoring that year, at age 37...
Who made the decision to not include Dominique Wilkins in the 50 greatest NBA players of all time?
My attitude 25 years later is still, FUCK the Hawks for trading Dominique.
Niq was ALWAYS ready to play MJ straight up.
Dominique never had the cast during his Atlanta days as Jordan, however nique could go toe to toe with the best of them, remember the game 7 battle between Dominique and Larry bird? Shot for shot, Dominique is to Vince Carter the way Jordan is to Kobe, however Dominique was a force once upon a time,just like Vince Carter was
this game means a whole hell of a lot to me...thanks...born in 82
Man I miss this era. Today's game sucks big time.
I like how the scoreboard is showing only once in a while. It makes you more focus on watching the game than looking at the scores.
Jordan’s best rival aside from thomas and barkley
Wow Nique was still swinging at this time! It was the tail end of his career!
Subscribed, love your videos, hope your next videos are all in 60FPS, you are the only one who does this. rarity!
Disappointed Nique couldn't stick around just a bit longer. Season before the Big Fundamental came. Coulda got ring

My understanding Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins was the only two players that makes the game exciting.NNA legends.
Maxwell played very tight defense on Jordan, but he made that fadeaway whether you stuck your hand in his face or not.

Phil Jackson was the difference, 7 years in the league...MJ was a Dominique Wilkins, enter Phil and Tex Winter (triangle offense), results 6 titles, just ask Kobe and Shaq
Jordan had help.
M.J! 25,000 pts at age 33 that's very impressive! G.O.A.T!
The NBA owes Dominique an apology.....
