Dominique Wilkins / Dominique Wilkins Position: F Height: 2.01 meters / 6 feet 7 inches Weight: 91 kg / 200 pounds Birthday: 1960-01-12 Draft: 1982 1st round No. 3 School: Georgia He is one of the most shocking players in NBA history. As early as when she was a student at the University of Georgia, Dominique Wilkins conquered the audience with her incredible personal performances. From then on, people called him: the essence of human movies. His personal honors include being named to the All-Rookie First Team in 1983, being named to the NBA All-NBA Team seven times, and being selected to the All-Star Game for nine consecutive years. Of course, the most exciting thing is the two sparkling blue dunk competition championship trophies. Wilkins was born in Paris, France, where his Air Force father was stationed. Years later, he returned to the United States and attended high school in Washington. After graduating from high school, Dominique attended the University of Georgia. It was there that his outstanding talent and skills earned him the nickname "The Essence of Human Cinema" which is still popular today. In 1982, Dominique, a junior in college, participated in the NBA draft and was selected by the Utah Jazz with the third overall pick in the first round. But he refused to sign with Utah. Fortunately, things took a turn for the better in September, when Atlanta immediately traded John Drew, Freeman Williams and some cash for him. As a rookie, Dominique was able to contribute 17.5 points to the Hawks in his first year. In the second year, he increased this number to 21.6 points. In the following 11 years, his scoring average never fell below 20. Dominique can definitely be regarded as an Eagle. The main reason for winning 50 games in four consecutive years in the late 1980s (1985-1989). In these four years, he averaged more than 30 points per game in two years, and his average score in the four years was as high as 29.1 points. In the 1988 All-Star Game, he scored 29 points in 30 minutes. In the playoffs of the same year, he averaged an astonishing 31.2 points per game. Unfortunately, he fell short in the conference semifinals. In the decisive Game 7, the Hawks lost by 2 points to the booming Boston Celtics and failed to advance to the conference finals. But even so, the epic 7 peak duels between him and Big Bird were still enough to make him a legend of that era. In the early 1990s, when the Hawks gradually declined from a 50-win team to a loser with a winning percentage below 50%, Dominique transformed from a pure scorer to a versatile player to meet the needs of the team. In the 1990-91 season, his rebounds per game reached a career high of 9.0, and his assists per game also exceeded 3.0 for the first time. However, the excessive burden on and off the court caused Dominique, who had few injuries in his career, to end the dismal 91-92 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Many people thought that a serious injury in 1992 would ruin Dominique's career, but the strong 32-year-old man came back the next year. He silenced those poor critics with an average of 29.9 points per game second only to Michael Jordan. At the same time, he also continued his previous all-around performance. That season, he became the 17th member of the NBA's 20,000-point club. In the middle of the 1993-94 season, which was Dominique's 12th season in Atlanta, the Hawks management made a move that stunned and shocked fans. They sent the team's best scorer in history to the Los Angeles Clippers. Replaced with Danny Manning. After the season, Dominique became a free agent and played one year for former rival Boston in the 1994-95 season. Although he was Boston's scoring leader that year, his 17.8 points per game average was Dominique's lowest since his rookie season. In the summer after the 1994-95 season, Dominique signed with Panathinaikos Athens out of dissatisfaction with his position in the rebuilding of the Celtics. In 14 games with Panathinaikos, he averaged 20.9 points and 7.0 rebounds and led the team to the 1996 European Championship. It is worth mentioning that in the European Top 4 finals in Paris, Dominique lifted the MVP trophy for the first time.

Before the start of the 1996-97 season, he returned to the NBA and signed as a free agent with San Antonio, which was in urgent need of supplementing its bench depth. However, Dominique's contribution was far more than they imagined. As the team's scoring leader, he scored 18.2 points and 6.4 rebounds that season. After the season, Dominique crossed the sea again, this time he chose the Italian Teamsystem team. In the 1998-99 season, he returned to the NBA to join the Orlando Magic and play alongside his younger brother Gerald. In 27 games, he only contributed 5.0 points and 2.6 rebounds. But he will always be remembered as one of the most passionate dunkers of all time.
