Dominique Wilkins on Being Traded to Donald Sterling's Clippers, Sterling Losing Team (Part 18)

[@theworldaccordingtosimba3366]

Mr. Wilkins comes off as a very refined human being. I met him before and he was exactly the same way.

[@Ace-vf2uf]

Agreed.

[@reginaldbernard2554]

Glad he confirmed that the Clippers let David Robinson score 71points

[@kevinmorrison6093]

Did the owner have money bet on this???

[@WildL23]

The NBA wanted to keep Donald Sterling. The only reason the NBA got rid of Sterling is because they had too, not because they wanted too. That is an abomination.

[@Dupont24ism]

I met Dominique and dude was awesome. ....worst trade in NBA history

[@wcorowitz]

That trade ripped my heart out!! I still hold a grudge against the Hawks organization, Lenny Wilkins, and Danny "NO KNEES" MANNING. Something like that would never happen today. They know they did Dominique wrong. They tried to make up for it by putting a statue in front of the arena. I think that was the best shot for Dominique and the hawks to get a title. No Jordan, plus, they just beat the eventual champions the Houston Rockets a few days before Dominique was traded. SMH!!!

[@JunniorRooks]

You got that right...NO KNEES MANNING, one of the worst trades ever.That dude got injured more than Anthony Davis SMH

[@alo.5141]

I'm a Bulls fan and I remember this trade when I was a kid and thought it was absolutely stupid... Danny Manning was nowhere Nique's level and the Hawks paid for that for years

[@stevenbrown6956]

Yea, I don't think Lenny was a big fan of Nique. The bad thing about it is Manning only played 20 something games, so Atlanta didn't get much at all. Atlanta looked right that year before the trade, they did Nique dirty.

[@alo.5141]

@@JunniorRooks Danny Manning tore his Achilles playing kickball in 5th grade😅🤣

[@MrJeff757]

Trading Dominique Wilkins from the Atlanta Hawks to the LA Clippers for Danny Manning was the worst trade that I've ever heard of in NBA History.

[@blackice3395]

I heard the news that morning I was devastated 😭 7th grade 😂

[@blunt2416]

As a FORMER hawks fan not only did I not trust them anymore, but I started to distrust the NBA in general. A couple years later I just became a casual fan. Shit is rigged to this day.

[@uknowwhothehelliare7821]

Big facts I know ball been watching since late 70s ncaa basketball is no different

[@ahfimiwonawun]

Is that not a form of fixing games?

[@augustineramos3989]

Sounds like it to me

[@jermainefloyd6558]

1000% a lot more

[@ActionJacksonForever]

You think sports aren’t fixed? The nba mlb and nfl are literally listed as entertainment, don’t be ignorant bro

[@FuShengAlex]

Other thsn Adrian Dantley to the Mavs.....this ranks as the most cruel trade in NBA history.

[@KennyP.Gemstone]

I'd say Bill Russell traded by the Hawks to Celtics. Or Magic Johnson from the New Orleans jazz to the Lakers.

[@creoleDJ]

Dale Ellis from Dallas to Seattle for Al Woods & a cup of change; Kevin Johnson traded from the Cavs to Phoenix; Ron Harper traded from Cleveland to the Clippers after he came back from a career threatening knee injury…

[@KennyP.Gemstone]

@creoleDJ Kobe to Charlotte, and Pippen to the Sonics too.

[@tracymiller1713]

​@JohnQuickWick Kobe Bryant was drafted with the 13th pick in the 1st round of the 1996 draft by Charlotte. Scottie was also drafted by Seattle What was cruel about those guys getting traded to the second teams they went to? Nothing cruel about either of those trades, especially compared to Wilkins. He found out he was being traded by watching the midday news.

[@FuShengAlex]

@@KennyP.Gemstone Those were more one sided "finessing" and fleecing trades by smart GMs. Of course they were cruel for the teams that didn't get them.

[@dariusshannon6069]

Lmao that “Donald Sterling” was super edited

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

That doesn't make sense to trade a star player if his team is first place in the conference. The Hawks organization was dumb for trading Dominique.

[@alwayskul]

They traded Nique for Danny Manning and Manning ended up signing with the Suns as a free agent in the offseason. The Hawks basically lost Nique and had nothing to show for it.

[@reubenhandel210]

Vlad calling other people racist is hilarious

[@kenneydennard]

Vlad must not be a Dominique fan. I waited days for him to get to this part of his career and he rushed threw it to get to donald sterling. 😢

[@ugoshow1]

The worst trade in NBA history

[@elai3147]

need shaq’s reaction to this

[@cubedmack]

The whole David Robinson story sounds like a fixed game to me. Somebody made a lot of money off David Robinson winning the scoring title.

[@WildL23]

2:35 "When you don't know all the details"???????????????????????????????????????? You don't need any details. The recordings are self explanatory.

[@agentmartagentmart9122]

Vlad solved the Tupac and biggie cases now he’s fully committed to solving the mystery of Donald Sterling

[@apprentessjgooden2263]

He's also the only person from BMF who didn't get indicted

[@Christ803]

Traded him for Barry Manning a guy with hands like a 5 year old girl. Hawks were dumb.

Very classy man.

[@RedRedDaDon]

🤯 1:40

[@gregpatterson2829]

They did him dirty. What a class act this man is.

[@FatherWithDon]

RACISM

[@bigboi3512]

Looking back at it , it feels unfair that Sterling ended up with all those billions with the sale of the team. All the other owners did a much better job running there teams and just for the fact that the Clippers are in LA he cashed in. Meanwhile if that team was in another city the shannigans wouldn't have lasted as long.

[@chrisa4695]

I still get mad when I think about that trade to this day. The Hawks were going to win the East that year and possibly the Chip. Danny Manning is a decent person. But he was no Dominique. He too left as a free agent at the end of the season for much less than the Hawks offered. I never will forget Coach Lenny Wilkens try to sell us on Manning, “This guy can do so much more things”. Bull! I didn’t start going to Hawks games again until the Josh Smith/Joe Johnson era.

[@Mr_Big_Lou]

At 12 years old that trade to the clippers was a traumatizing experience for me! The clippers were the worst team in the NBA at the time and they effectively killed ‘Nique’s career and cursed their own franchise with that move. To this day I still wonder what the hell the Hawks front office was smoking.

[@FatherWithDon]

They was smoking on that good ol RACISM weed. When u rich and jealous of a fine black man who is popular and prolly fucked one of your side pieces I'd get rid of you too.....

[@UNTPanama]

Damn now the other story I just heard this morning make a little more sense. No way you getting traded mid season just because you’re a free agent in the summer if you number 1 in the east

[@thetruthstand]

That was perhaps the dumbest trade ever. Dominique was just 2 years removed from recovering from an Achilles injury that has ruined countless careers and yet he was playing the best basketball of his life and they traded him. I would have played it out and then taken my chances with free agency. But that just proves that the owner's number one priority is not championships.

[@UNTPanama]

I wonder if Vlad heard about the other reason why he had to leave Atlanta at the time

[@reginaldhuff8661]

it wasnt money, it was lenny wilkins jealousy of nique

[@FatherWithDon]

Yes jealousy

[@Swagandkicks]

Rich man games

[@melvinalucas5103]

Yes it was the money 💰 The Hawks didn't give it to him so he got later just like Pippen

[@14ls98]

One of the worst and stupid trades in Atlanta Hawks History.

[@jonathanstclair5579]

The Hawks screwed Dominique for a chance of a championship. 1993-1994 season was the chance for him to win a championship.

[@brucetyler8846]

That’s why I don’t watch the fixed NBA

[@scottsimon769]
