TNT Crew on Dominique Wilkins statue

Shaquille O'Neal, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley weigh in on Dominique Wilkins getting a statue.

[@Frankflexxxx]

Lol... Chuck is 3 years younger than Nique. And Chuck was on his big wheel while Nique was playing. Lol... funny.

"That is an absolutely great story" EJ is nuts lol...

[@jameskaruga6730]

the absurdity of the story and him saying it's a great story makes it funny

Kenny Smiths comments .... dead on accurate. One thinks of the Hawks, they think of 'Nique.

Yes!!! Dominique has Love international Love also. In 2014, while in Brazil. I had on a Hawks jersey with my name on it, but a few older Brazilian guys pointed at it and yelled " Dominique" 😊 🏀♥️

Nique got robbed in the same way as Aaron Gordon got robbed.

Totally Agree! Magic & 'Nique were my two Favorites! And How In The HELL Did Dominique Not Make The Dream Team???? He Had To Have Been Hurt, Right????

[@johndavis6719]

Who did the Hawks draft that was that good since Nique besides Steve Smith dam no wonder why they never won a championship.

[@anonymousperson8829]

Dominique Wilkins, The human highlight film.. Never forget him. He was one of the best players in the 80's.. No doubt.

I agree. Of all the players that played the game, Dominique Wilkins was one of the greatest players to play the game in the 80's era. Unfortunately he never won a championship game but he will always be "the human highlight reel"..

[@quelodeldrago2587]

Anonymous Person *film

[@JourdanChaney]

Well they did trade him in the 93-94 season when the Hawks won 57 games that year

[@twogzup293]

The man has been through enough bs from the media not recognizing him but thanks to Kenny always being the cool cat that he is, Wilkins was my favorite him and Jordan, it's sad that some how he was completely forgot about by the media until a few years ago, when someone brought his name up and here we are, also he was a prolific dunker but had a lot more dimensions to his game

[@cflo1386]

@2:24 Well said Kenny, Dominique was my favorite player growing up along with Dr. J, congratulations Nique you deserve it.

[@augustweather2912]

NIQUE WAS A BEAST!..I remember watching him when i was younger..when he got on that left wing sized the defender up and did that spin move the crowd use to go nuts.

[@dskywalker3397]

The 80’s, TBS, and The Human Highlight Film. Great Times!

[@brian27610]

maybe one day shaq will stop mentioning rings when he gets insecure

[@godisbollocks]

Greatest dunker of all time, and one of the very best scorers in NBA history.

[@kennethbentley725]

he was robbed twice of a slam dunk once by Spud Webb and one by Michael Jordan and the NBA knows that peace

[@DisAccountizaMiracle]

I think everyone was so stunned that Webb could dunk it kind of overshadowed a great Nique performance. Sometimes you have to step back and think. Just because you are getting used to someone's greatness doesn't mean they are any less great.

[@penkima4923]

'Nique told other people on the contest to do creative dunks, but went for the windmills over and over again himself. Only thing he was robbed was the top 50 all-time.

[@poligonzo5300]

Kenneth Bentley the problem is that Michael Jordan has more creativity if you notice Dominic was doing the windmill over and over again Jordan was doing different type of dunks in each level that they were going against not only that Michael Jordan jump from the free throw line twice that night I think Dominic will never have Michael Jordan's creativity Michael Jordan was beyond imagination Dominic was too stiff and his creativity wasn't that good like Michael Jordan's

[@JupiterCannons1]

Poli Gonzo Jordan got real creative with his foul line dunk!!! Just ask Dr. J!

[@ContextReallyMatters]

@@poligonzo5300 It wasn't creativity. It was home cooking. That dunk contest was in Chicago and that two handed windmill Nique did was sick. Should have gotten more than a 45.

[@vincentvalenzuela6972]

"I was on my big wheel and he had this incredible dunk against the Philadelphia 76'ers, and I wrecked my big wheel" GREAT STORY BRO LOL much love to my man Chuck though, C'mon now.

[@DarkSektori]

Dominique Wilkins is one of the most underrated players of all time. When Michael Jordan won all those scoring titles, Dominique was the only one would challenge that

[@bvincent546]

Smoothest player off the court back then!

[@terminat1]

I remember the controversy when Shaq was chosen over Dominique for one of the 50 greatest players in 1997 (or 1996). And rightfully so. That was silly.

[@garyjohnson7626]

It was kinda silly because Charles has a basketball statue also

[@redpillrevolution6066]

Something ain't right....'nique is easily to 50 all time. I grew up watching him and Jordan. It is a travesty and athletic injustice that he isn't one of the 50 greatest. Truth be told he is actually a top 25.

[@mcleananderson4948]

And both two small town North Carolina kids from about 2 hours from each other.

[@averyt6521]

[@gordyvonbrody7601]

Definitely top 50. Top 25 might be a stretch, but I felt his pain when they screwed him out of the top 50.

Dominique Wilkins deserves this statue alone, based on the types of honeys he used to pull back in the day, no other professional athlete in Atlanta at the time, could match the "dime pieces" that 'Nique pulled...

Love when Kenny’s the voice of reason, so mature

[@li-yichen6751]

Dominique Wilkins is one of the best dunkers! The power of his dunks is still incomparable even in NBA today.

[@evanos7]

For me Nique is Top 20 best ever..and easily...he had tones of style...and apart from The dunking super man he was an unstoppable scoring machine..who would never hide when the ball was burning...if only the Hawks were a little better tuned up he could have ended with 1 or 2 rings....for sure my favorite player to watch..

[@MoveInSilence23]

Barkley is three years YOUNGER than Nique. Nique (1960) Barkley (1963)

[@chazjanousek2602]

2 bad this was brought up with 2 big egos that Nique dunked over (barkley for sure). Right on for Kenny being selfless and saying true words of respect to a man that had this coming for years. glad this was only a few minutes long with this crew! dig the statue high flying hawk

Well Wilkins was in the NBA 2 seasons prior to Charles. Maybe Charles was home on spring break from Auburn and Wilkins was a rookie when Barkley crashed his big wheel. Now if they made big wheels that could hold a 6'4 260 to 275 lb Barkley when he was 19 or 20 that is news to me;)?

If only 'Nique and Pistol Pete had both played during the 80s! *sigh* Hawks would have been in the finals atleast once and maybe even won a championship! And now that we started dreaming...If only Pistol Pete, 'Nique Wilkins and Dikembe Mutombo played in the Hawks during the 80s! That team would have surely won a ring! Luckily they play in myteam in 2K this year and I'm loving it!

[@jonathanwashington3065]

+Zamppa86 Mutombo Was 90's

[@Zonum1]

Mutombo was originally a Nugget. That's like saying if only David Thompson, Alex English and Dikembe Motombo played in the Nuggets during the 80s! Well they would have won like 5 championships.

[@ChaposShoota]

Why Shaq had to do chuck like that at the end 😭

[@sirissac234]

Dominique Wilkins was born in 1960, Charles Barkley was born in 1963. But Chuck "remembers" seeing Dominique dunking the ball in highlight footage when Chuck was "on my big-wheel". I don't even want to know what kind of a massive gigantic big-wheel that a 20-something Barkley had to have to be riding around on. Certainly something with a massive massive SEAT.

Favorite player of all time. Easily underrated. He had no pippen or Isaiah, McHale amongst others but stayed in Atlanta until the ridiculous trade for D. Manning. No disrespect but that year had Atlanta kept Nique who knows about the 93 season. Best record in East with Nique. Now.... It's trae's turn... Let's Go Hawks! Until we play again. #Truetoatlanta 🏀💯
