Dominique is my second favorite player ever, watched his entire career as TBS was one of the only channels that we actually had growing up. He was amazing to watch and very underappreciated as an overall player. Glad he’s getting respect as time goes on. Ps. Best dunker ever too, it’s not close.
Underrated??? EXTREMELY UNDERRATED! He is The Human Highlight Film... Kenny is right and one of the best scoring machines. I'd check the newspaper in Houston every day back then. Just to see what he scored and Jordan scored. Besides his aggressive dunks and his sky-ing over everyone followups, he had a shot too. Driving machine! One of my favorite players of all time and should be in my opinion top 5 players ever...
I saw Nique play in the Omni well over a dozen times. I have never seen a more athletic man. Back then you could get a ticket, popcorn, and a coke for $20. You could usually change seats after the 1st quarter and the best row was row 6, you were eye level to the rim. Nique was the epitome of attack the rim, like it owed him money. Nique feared no man at the rim, not one. Or three.
Thank you for this video. Nique is my favorite player of all time. Watched every one of his games on TBS because that was a free channel back in the day lol. He was THE SHOW wherever he went or played and brought the energy on and off the court!
First thing I think of would be his fourth-quarter shootout with Larry Bird in game 7. Legendary. A close second would be his Thor level hammer down, out of nowhere, put back slams. BTW: I never appreciated what you mentioned in the video. NBA players today in the Dunk Contest can’t beat Mac McClung, a guy not even in the NBA. ‘Nique got his by beating Jordan, Dr. J, and Clyde the Glide. Just the guys who more or less invented high flying, never before seen, dunks. 😂
Stupid title. All these guys brought massive attention, style, grace, skill, integrity, leadership of the highest caliber to the game and fans without the help of the league, media hype and narratives. They are true greats.
Dominique never had a legit #2, Rivers and Willis never got on the same level as Pippen, Dumars, Stockton, McHale and Dominique only got an old Moses Malone who was already in the decline.
Moses was All-NBA the yr before he joined the Hawks. They also added Reggie Theus. From 86-88, Rivers and Willis were as good as Pippen and Grant were in 90 & 91. Nique just wasn't on Jordan, Magic, and Bird level.
Moses was super washed when he was on the Hawks. You obviously didn't watch the games during that time. And Reggie is only know on for dating Juanita Jordan and pissing off Jordan. Even Reggies best years on the Nets were mediocre at best. That's why he went back to Debarge after the NBA 😂
He was buried by the NBA. They resented him at one point because they all knew he beat Jordan in that infamous dunk contest and MJ even admitted it several times. He was massively under paid and massively underrated. They purposely slighted him in the NBA top 50 ever. There has never been an NBA player with such bad teammates as dominique ever in NBA history besides pistol Pete marovich.
more respect than legends holding multiple championships, mvp's, gold medals, countless other awards... ?? not without a single championship to Dominiques name.. and with a playoff record 23-36 ten playoff appearances and only 3 playoff series wins. will not get more respect than the aforementioned legends. and thats not taking anything away from Dominique.. He was a great talent with unbelievable abilities..
It would have been very interesting to see Dominique vs Carter in a slam dunk contest in their prime

I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! I have more videos to come that I hope you enjoy as well. Iso Joe is on my list in the near future
He deserves respect, but I wouldn’t go as to say more than the other three superstars mentioned in the caption.
I needed those clicks, hope you understand. But I agree with you. He's still criminally underrated
@@jonathan031795just mention Dominic and his being underrated and I’m clicking
Dominique windmill is the epitome of perfection
He really had the entire package inside 3. The man is criminally underrated.
100% Nique was a one of one
First thing I think of would be his fourth-quarter shootout with Larry Bird in game 7. Legendary.
A close second would be his Thor level hammer down, out of nowhere, put back slams.

My favorite player all time! My daughter's middle name is Dominique. I had to do it.
Love it
I always chose dominique over jordan
Stupid title. All these guys brought massive attention, style, grace, skill, integrity, leadership of the highest caliber to the game and fans without the help of the league, media hype and narratives. They are true greats.
The Hawks were brain dead for trading him! They deserve to be cursed with a lifelong losing record for this poor trade decision!

I agree with you on this take
He was buried under because of the bird magic era
I agree. He was a victim of circumstance.

Awesome
Thank you for your support! Love you
Underrated has 2 r's btw nice video though
Appreciate it
Long before Air Canada.
He never had another superstar with him. His team mates were mediocre
AIR Jordan should be calleD NBA jordan cause the NBA changed things for him to suceed.so many were great.
Agreed 100%

Loved Nique but probably not a good idea to mention efficiency, then go on to show a clip of his stats which show him shooting 9/25 lol!
Wish he played with the Knicks ... Ewing Oakley Domonique Gerald starks. Him and his brother would have been hard to beat.
Not enough respect for nigue
Dominique first then, Spud Web.
That's a tough one. I would argue maybe Bob Petit for # 2. # 3 on my list would be "Iso" Joe Johnson
umm, NO
No about?
Love Nique but no. Didn't play defense.
