Dominique Wilkins on Playing for Celtics, Losing Playoffs to Orlando with Young Shaq (Part 19)

[@ΜΑΝΩΛΗΣΤΑΝΤΡΟΣ]

I remember when he came to Athens to play for Panathinaikos and there were thousands of fans cheering for him at the airport! They won their first European championship! Legendary!

[@Who-I-be40]

That dream team 2 was unbelievable. So many great players!!

[@stevenbrown6956]

That team is slept on, they were fire.

[@tomdemay6147]

reminds me of Billy Martin telling Rickey Henderson in baseball that "all the greats played for the Yankees, you should play for them too". Get the same vibe with Red recruiting / signing Wilkins to Boston Celtics. Big show of respect.

[@scottdavis130]

What a class act mr Wilkins is. He speaks positive about every subject

[@bigjigg5672]

VLAD KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT SPORTS!!!💯

[@CliffPierson777]

"You Made 36 Points and 10 Rebounds." Lol

[@upgradeyourmindset3265]

Shoutout to Dominique for shutting down Vlad's attempt to race bait. Guys back then weren't as soft or sensitive as the players today. They had the ability to block out hecklers and just ball out. I knew as soon as Vlad brought up the Celtics where he was going with it

[@Donjasoni]

This Vlad guy is always doing that! I’ve watched a lot of these videos because of the guests but his interviewing is rather poor and hole is always race baiting. You throw out a topic and he’ll find a way to make it about some racial injustice. Lol if the topic wasn’t so loaded it would almost be funny it’s so over the top. Ridiculous. Dominique handles it with class and dignity as always.

[@Opium64]

I mean a nigga shouldn’t have the right to be offended definitely in his position

[@mr106npark1]

Sensitive shiddd get yo ass beat

[@apprentessjgooden2263]

His brother Gerald Wilkins lived in my hometown, Chattanooga, Tennessee ☝🏿

[@darrellthomas884]

I kinda remember him getting around 18 boards or so in a game as a Celtic in those playoffs

[@chrisa4695]

As a lifelong Hawks fan and Dominique fan it was torture watching him in a green Celtics jersey with #12 on it.

[@steelman4ever]

Same here

[@Dupont24ism]

I was there and I loved it

[@leodrosia4369]

Seems like a great guy, celtic fan

[@jasonbabilonia3037]

Hate all ya want vlad does his homework 👍

[@omoscents6003]

Vlad talk like he hoop! 😂

[@RaiderGannon12]

Chris Dudley do you like Shaq 🤣

[@md3dasnipa386]

Everybody remember what Shaq did to DUDley😂😂

[@mplayne]

Being a Black guy from Boston its nice to hear someone Black not from here, have a good experience. I think the Boston is racist thing is overstated

[@parlowgems]

Atlanta suffered for years after they stupidly traded Dominque. Should have never happened.

[@j-remy9832]

I stopped this video at 1:40, & thought. Why wasn't Dominique Wilkins on the original Dream Team !!!

[@bigdawg4614]

Torn Achilles pippen took his place

[@mysterion5136]

He and James Worthy were injured.

[@jtremaine23]

@@bigdawg4614They didn't invite Wilkins the year before though. They selected Pippen instead before the injury. That shouldn't have happened as Pippen hadn't been in the league that long.

[@kimjongun2946]

Vlad the tool always race baiting. Nique didn't give em the answer he was looking for. OWNED lol

[@tristinhall1275]

How is he race baiting? All he did was say multiple black players have had negative experiences in Boston. So Dominique gave his own personal experience experience. It’s not that serious nobody got owned dumb ass.

[@SunnyReignz]

Southern Boston is where the Magic happen. Got lost one night visiting & found out 😂

[@jayo208]

South Boston/Southie *.......weird as hell seeing you call it "Southern" Boston lol. And you're right, historically thats where the city was most racist.....and Charlestown. Most black folk didnt live there though back in the day.

[@SunnyReignz]

@@jayo208 southie has always been a local term to me. Ppl who are not from there seem weird to me when they say Southie.

[@jayo208]

@@SunnyReignz it's weird to you when ppl call a place by its name? Can't tell if trolling or you actually thought that was some "clever" response lol 🧐🤔. The literal name is SOUTH Boston, not "Southern" Boston. You just made that up lol. You can even google "Southie" in relation to Boston and pull up all kinds of pages because it is WIDELY known by that name. If you visit Chicago and want to see the south side, do you refer to it as "Southern" Chicago, or the south side?? Wait..... don't answer that lol 🤔🤦🏿‍♂️😭😭. And this is coming from a born and raised Bostonian right out of Roxbury over by Columbia Rd 😉.

[@SunnyReignz]

@@jayo208 ok good for u. I made my point. I don't think it needs a deep discussion. I've only been twice for work. I still don't know much about the city.

[@jayo208]

@@SunnyReignz great, so consider yourself informed 😉. The fact you think a point was made by you saying something dumb shows how deluded you are 🤣😂😭😭. And if it doesn't require discussion, then don't respond "genius" lol 😏

[@CocheseSha]

That '95 Celtics team was supposed to have been the team to beat in the East... That was before the Magic signed Horace Grant 🤦🏾‍♂🤦🏾‍♂🤦🏾‍♂

[@TheSwordfish009]

goddamn Dominick looks young

[@melvinalucas5103]

In that time in that Era saying race baiting stuff it rolled off them it happened to MJ to Magic.... the league changed the Hawks were not playoff contenders as he said the emerging Shaq young Shaq he was feared it got to a point were Nique was getting older and was trying to win That Chip Mj was winning ... remember... the caliber of players in the 90s Dfense was 1on 1

[@justinburch21]

“ how do you turn Red down “ Ummm, by saying no. 🤷🏿‍♂️. Him going to Boston was like Reggie Miller going to New York

[@TheJbull40]

Dominique should have been in the original dream team instead of Chris Mullin

[@jtremaine23]

I think he should have been over Pippen since he hadn't been in the league that long at the time.

[@dariushodges5893]

Penny Hardaway!!!!!

[@marioweaver4097]

[@elichisley3031]

Ask about to 50 players

[@LoyalOpposition]

this host can't do a simple wikipedia search to know he signed with Boston as a FA?

[@1990758]

That's interesting. He should say things about the clippers. Because I remember our interview where he said he liked the clippers.

[@LoyalOpposition]

That's the interesting thing about KZbin is you can see everything chronologically and see when stories to start to change. @@1990758

[@timothy4664]

Here is the thing. People have been yelling at professional athletes going back a century. "Go back home" was yelled before desegregation and after. Now, are there racist fans in Boston? Sure but how much of it is sensitive players who think the insults are racist in origin when they are in fact just passionate fans who love their team? I have been a Boston fan for 46 years. I know the Marcus Smart experience and that just sucks man. That dude is great and i wish he was still here. But i do not believe all criticism and jeers are racist. I have never heard a fan near me yell out the N word. How much of Jalen Brown's complaints come from being indignant when fans give him a hard time for a game and he believes it stems from racism because he is Black? Thats a legitimate question. Im not saying he is wrong because he could be right. I do think there is another way to look at it. And clearly, anyone who is yelling out the N word or any other explicitly racist statement should be thrown out and banned for life. Being Black doesn't exempt one from being treated the way white players have been treated since forever though. Oh and The human highlight wheel was one of my favorites even when he played for Atlanta. I loved having him in Boston in 94-95. Such a class act man.

[@SunnyReignz]

Even if ur not supposedly not racist if u use racist terms that's the tag u will get. U can't straddle that fence then scream I'm not racist and say I was just trying to get under his skin. Nobody especially a black person will see it who's on the other side of it. Comedian Bill Burr even has joke about white ppl who use racial slurs at players. When they do real racist will want to identify with them. That means no one can tell the difference when u do use those terms.

[@wack8589]

The N word stuff is baloney. Blacks call each other the N word. Which means ignorant.

[@tristinhall1275]

White men are the biggest cowards in America

[@SunnyReignz]

@@wack8589No need to make a excuse for white ppl to use it.. I can tell anybody especially white ppl use any word u want. But if consequences happen from it so be it. Everybody has a choice in how they conduct themselves publicly.

Watch the full interview now as a VladTV KZbin Member - kzbin.infojoin

[@DoloresAquino-en4cv]

Vlad is a terrible interviewer

[@user-kv3ut6pv4b]

Wilkins seems like a great kat but; he's not going to experience the type of racism. The average black will in boston. Especially when a college an comedian (think SNL) did a skit. Black people in boston net worth: 8 bucks ... White folk: 250,000. Speaks for itself ...

[@jayo208]

man straight up if you aint from Boston you sound ridiculous going off of skits and tv lol & smh. Folk just love parroting what they hear but never experienced 🤣😂😭😭
