Dominique Wilkins on Playing Final NBA Game, Never Getting a Ring (Part 22)

[@mikewubben2844]

Love this series of interviews. Nique is humble, honest and interesting. Loved him as a player but like him even more as a person.

[@GeromeFairley-du9mb]

Nique is right. Just because you didn't win a ring doesn't mean it diminish your greatness especially considering its a team effort. We will always talk about Dominique, Iverson, Vince Carter, Barkley, and many others who never won a ring.

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

Amen, that is the true. The media and people on debate shows think that having a ring is the most important thing to have as an athlete to be talked about.

[@peterfissa8556]

Yeah you right. Nique was a freak and nobody can't stop him from coming to the basket

[@stevenbrown6956]

@@Doknot-tb9ey Right, then the media try to bash guys for joining forces on a team. But I think the media has a role in that. These players hear the media talk about championships like it is everything. They always talking about Barkley, Malone etc "best players to NEVER win a championship". So I think the guys of this generation join forces so they are not constantly mentioned for not having one.

[@Infamous1991]

Charles Barkley is the greatest Power Forward of all time i dont give a shit about rings

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

@@Infamous1991 That's great.

Thanks asshole!

[@itz-luigi1210]

I grew up a Pistons fan and I remember watching DW on TBS and whenever they played Detroit and he was scarier than Jordan imo early on. He was also a 2 footed jumper, I could always relate to that

[@lpcook1]

I concur! The Human Highlight Film was 🔥 on TBS in the late 80s-early 90s!

[@flyguy7825]

Not everybody can get a ring That’s just the reality of it but what’s more baffling and just plain sad is that the media along with fans judge your greatness off of rings or not which is absolutely stupid

[@treedillinger5801]

I saw him at the Meadowlands when he was on the Celtics playing against the Nets. He was a little behind half court and yelled at him from the sidelines I bet you won’t make that shot. He swished it and winked at me 😉

[@citypopradioFM]

During Dominique's era, he's right about the gauntlet to get to a ring, as the Eastern Conference was definitely the most competitive conference between Bird's Celtics, Jordan's Bulls, and Zeke's Pistons who were relentlessly dominating that side of the league. Dominique is definitely one of the greatest players who never won a ring.

[@CeddyMackBaybee]

And the 90s New York Knicks were monsters too. Those Knicks vs Bulls playoff games are still legendary.

[@quameakbarnes]

I Wish Kawhi Leonard Had The Mentality Dominique Wilkins Had Every Game

[@Dnero518]

His career probably would be over already. Although I agree i wouldve rather watched him go 100% for a short time instead of tryna constantly maintain his knee that's done for.

[@MAJ44]

Maybe he does but nowadays it's business first. Nique days were the love of the game.

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

It still would be nice for Kawhi to have that mentality.@@MAJ44

[@pfeiffdog0811]

He did until zaza took him out. Ain’t been the same since. We’ll accept for that one year in Toronto which was a contract year. Go figure.

[@stevenjamesgiurbinojr6893]

props to Dominique, he was about his buisness, all these “Load Management” pussy a** ball players today, lol, smh, these fans of today gotta be just as soft as the players of today for actually wasting time watching these wimps play ball in this weak era 👎💩

[@WillWigg]

Nique is the MOST underrated superstar player and I’ll always stand on that‼️

[@markonastov8918]

Nique is a Euroleague champion and final four mvp. That is very commendable. Guy is a absolute legend.

[@silewis9396]

A lot of people don't know how high level basketball the Euroleague final four is. Always great teams, coaching and physicality.

[@justlurkin]

Being an all time great is more valuable than having a ring. Being an all time great with a ring is obviously the most valuable. Most men want to be masters at their craft. Ring or no ring, all time greats can say that.

[@matteice2994]

This Brother was no Joke if he played now it would be WHOA PLAEYED THE GAME LIKE MONEY ON THE LINE EVER TIME NOW HE IS A GREAT ANNOUNCER AND COMMENTATOR THANK YOU YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY TOP DAWGS

[@eclarkcomedy]

They got Nique in a studio like he bout to lay a track

[@matttreece9036]

Thank you Dominique. Class act and legend. Peace from the LBC!

Vlad is a great interviewer when he wants to be that’s why he’s successful

[@paulmay1729]

What a cool guy.

[@Dupont24ism]

Dominique Wilkins will always by my GOAT

[@pernellhaynesworth1212]

Eastern Conference 🐐💯🏀🏆

[@mistersippiburning]

The talking heads (Skip et al.) always pushed the narrative that the Eastern Conference was the weaker conference. The Legends say otherwise... interesting.

[@TwoAm52]

His grandson bouncy, he isn’t NBA level but he is fun to watch.

[@shondarby-mcconnell1502]

For any athlete that didnt win A ring it absolutely diminishes their greatness U cant say ur one of the best wen U cannot win A ring in any sport 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Christ803]

Ask him about his statue.

[@Keithdagreat]

I always him as hawk not other teams🤷🏿‍♂️

[@CeddyMackBaybee]

As far as best all time dunker...before Vince Carter there was DW 💯

[@Obstakill]

Hawks can’t win cause them boys partying too much in the A...

[@rudymora2648]

homie still looks like he can average 20 a game. he aged well.

[@jaykaynum5569]

Bob Pettit 💪🏻 Lou who?

[@trueempire8948]

He played in the era when the Lakers, Celtics and Bulls dominated the league led by Magic, Bird, and the goat MJ. That’s why he couldn’t get a ring.

[@citypopradioFM]

@PatRileysHairGel 80's were the weakest in NBA history? Lol now I know ya'll are trippin.

[@trueempire8948]

@PatRileysHairGelNah Lebron would have joined forces with Dominique to get a ring. Just like he did with Wade and Bosh

[@WildL23]

The elders used to play every game. Greg Popovich started that Goofy "We're 😱😱😱 scared to play Lebron James and The Miami Heat so we're going to "rest" my young star players tonight" stuff. Then when they saw Popovich doing it, everybody started doing it. When Popovich first tried that nonsense, David Stern should have suspended them from the first round of the playoffs. You wanna rest your star players? You can rest them in the playoffs. BS, you're young star basketball players and your job is to play the game so play the game or quit.

[@george._sir._gemini.175]

Correction. Iverson wasn't great.

[@christophermcclean4885]

Dominique Wilkins, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, AI, VC etc are all winners. Rising from poverty and becoming a multimillionaire, business person, and household name makes them all winners. The fans (that call professional sportsmen "losers" because they didn't win a championship) haven't won anything either and they haven't overcome the obstacles in life to point fingers at athletes. It's such a false narrative, and it's rather dumb to hear people criticize very successful people because they didn't win a championship playing 10-15 years in a sport.

[@kmarsconstruction5132]

This interview was very hum

[@chaunceybeasley4829]

I met him at a all star game! His attitude don’t match his career 🤷🏾‍♂️ ijs lol you ain’t Mike bro

Wow😂

[@apprentessjgooden2263]

The NBA scam is up, they want the championship going through either Boston, New York, Los Angeles or Miami, small market team's don't stand a chance, do you really believe the NBA wants the Memphis Grizzlies to win the 🏆 The Denver Nuggets are the champions.
