Imo one of the more underrated players. Most people just know him for beating MJ in the dunk contest, but they don't realize he was one of the absolute best scorers of the 80's and early 90's (including a scoring title) who also put up amazing rebound numbers for an SF and developed his game to be a good player even when he lost that explosiveness. They also don't realize how nasty of an in game dunker he was, like wtf what did the rim do to you Nique
the rim prolly called his mama a name one time, then it was on
He's a HOF,im pretty sure most people know dominique wilkins
U smoke weed m8? Most people know who he is, but he is rarely recognized for his extraordinary playing career. Most people just know him from beating MJ in the dunk contest, not for scoring 25+ PPG and 6+ RPG in 9 straight seasons, or leading the league in scoring, or outscoring Larry Bird in their head to head matchups, or being a 9x All-Star and 7x All-NBA seclection
+TheBDHShow dude, people recognized his plays,does being 9x allstar and 7x all nba doesn't get you recognized? And what do you mean he was known for beating mj in the dunk contest? He always known for his amazing scoring abilities,the way he dunk the ball,he can grab boards,he's a hall of famer,im pretty sure people know dominique wilkins because he made into 9 nba allstar and 7 all nba and not just because he won the dunk contest over Jordan
U smoke weed m8? If you go a high school and ask the kids there who are basketball fans who Dominique Wilkins is, 90% of them will say something about his dunking. I'm primarily talking about people who are under 30, because people who were alive and watched basketball in the 1980s know damn well how good of a player Dominique was. If you ask young people "name people who won NBA scoring titles", Dominique Wilkins will be one of the last names to come up. If you ask young people to name some of the greatest small forwards of all time, Dominique will be one of the least mentioned names. I'm 16 and despite the fact that I live in Atlanta most of my friends are shocked when I tell them that Dominique Wilkins won a scoring title or that he actually played extremely well when matched up against Michael Jordan (use Basketball Reference H2H Finder)
You ever got dunked on so hard you had to sit down and contemplate the Universe for a while?
HikoSeijuroXIII not to mention that was Larry Legend
HikoSeijuroXIII Yeah, he messed up Larry Bird pretty bad on that dunk. Physically and mentally
not to mention he sat down in a foetus position
Dude, Vince made a guy retire...
Larry did
This guy had finesse like Vince Carter and power like Shawn Kemp...best dunker ever.
Chris Butler Sorry,but did you ever hear of a guy called Dr. J?
Chris Butler he was product of the 80's in the 90's if you were finesse you were on the bench Kemp in the 80's would be mind blowing
Frank Mclain VC didn't have the power and aggression of someone like Kemp or Wilkins.
Tom Shad overrated to an extent. Dr.J was definitely a revolutionary player and dunker. But Wilkins, Jordan and Carter took it another level. Dr J still top 5-10 for me for dunking ...but there were guys who could get up higher and throw down better than Dr J no disrespect.
@@BooBooDaFoo330 Connie as well, give it up.
1:15 Larry Bird just sits there rethinking his life choices
LOL
he got killed on that one.
DAMN!
+Isam Abandah The Highlight film killed everybody.
+Sand Vegas It's a chess game. He sitting there thinking, "All right, you got me on that one, but we still knocking you out of the semis and there's nothing you can do about it!" The in 1988 that's exactly what they did winning that 7-game series on their home floor in which Wilkins went nuts. Don't remember how much he averaged in that series. I still think even if they had beat the Celtics, Detroit would have hammered Atlanta and possibly beat them. They just had so many dedicated defensive players on that team. Still, a Lakers-Hawks 1988 NBA Finals would have been super entertaining, maybe the equivalent of the 2006 Mavericks-Heat NBA Finals for that particular era: two uptempo teams with offensive stars who can score from anywhere: In 2006 it was Wade vs. Nowitzki. In 1988, it would have been Johnson vs. Wilkins.
If he had gotten any part of the ball, Wilkins would have snapped his arm in two across the rim. I cannot believe that never happened with any of his thunderous dunks.
What an assinine comment!! Why should the greatest player of his generation,and possibly of all-time rethink his life choices?
Best newspaper line ever was when Nique' joined the Celtics late in his career and they said that this will be the first time a Celtic uniform will do a 360 outside of a washing machine..
lol
+Lynex what
Bitch
Except by then he was losing his vertical, and I've never seen him do a 360 in a game... So that writer sucked at his job.
1:15
"WTF was I doing?" - Larry Bird
larry scored 60 that game
He's lucky. Dominic could've chop off his hand...
Mid air he said that. Sitting down he was like " that's what I get, I'm not a shot blocker." I'm Wisconsin Lonnie and I approve this message ™
"You know you're gonna be on sportscenter, just get out of the way" Bill Burr
Jordan Fumar bird did score 60 in a game against Atlanta, but that was a couple years later.
That dunk over Bird came in 1982 or 83.
We were so lucky we watched him playing in Europe even though he was 35 in 1996 ..but he did won the European champion with Panathinaikos Athens
@theopot5798 Also in Fortitudo Bologna , Italy , his (doubt) foul on Sasha Danilovic decide the final of italian champ in favour of Virtus
I love the Hawks 80's jersey. Don't see that style in today's NBA.
Yeah that’s because we’re not in the 80s buddy
I mean they use it probably 10 times a season now that every team has 25 jerseys lol
Well search 21' Warriors Oakland Forever kit
PANATHINAIKOS, ATHENS, GREECE! Thank you Dominique Wilkins!
The most OP historic player on 2k, PERIOD
COMMA
Michael Jordan makes shots a created player cant even make lol
True
not OP if he deserves the ratings. 2K didn't even give him a jumper. Docter J on the other hand...........
The best DUNKER in the game (maybe throwback Vince carter but still)
Do you remember the famous duel vs Bird in game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference Semifinals ? What a great game it was! Dominique was much more than just a crazy dunker.
Best Semifinals I've ever seen
@@Repunza We won't see an EC Semifinals like that for a looooong time. One of the most intense competitors I've ever seen.
Yeah I watched that one. Dominique outscored Larry overall but Larry torched the Hawks in the 4th.
Haven't seen it, but thanks for the recommendation! And as it turns out, it's here on RUclips too!
Did you not see bird on the floor in this video?
Brings back good old 80's in ya face basketball. Never gets old watching his dunk videos.
Those dunks against Bird and Parish are the most vicious dunks I've ever seen. Wilkins was definitely a joy to watch.
Top3 all-time dunker, at least. 'Nique would posterize any of your favorite centers.
number one in game . done
@Aaron, ingame agreeed.
well thats all there really is anyway
BasketballJones48021.Dr. J. 2.Dominique Wilkins 3.irrelevant.
Tom Shad 1. Vince Carter 2. Dominique Wilkins 3. Dr. J
Best in game dunker ever.
I saw him do those dunks in high school. Hands down the best high school player I've ever seen.
Too bad Wilkins didn't have any good teammates in his team because he could've won a ring if he had a better team. This guy was unstoppable.
Tom Bekhor L
Tom Bekhor not true.....for the better part of his career he was on good or even great teams,with great players.They just could never best the Celtics.
@tom you don't know your history, I watched many hawks games from 10 to 30 yrs old, he never had a good cast.
Tom Bekhor Please check the rosters of The Atlanta Hawks teams of the latter half of the 1980's.They consistently had contending teams,but failed in the playoffs,normally to the mighty Celtics.Tree Rollins,Kevin Willis,Doc Rivers,Cliff Levingston,and Scott Wittman were just a few of the excellent players that supported Wilkins.Along with a great bench.
Scott Rackley completely wrong,sir.....Do you call Tree Rollins,Kevin Willis,Doc Rivers,Cliff Levingston a bad cast? Please before making a comment,check your facts first.Thank you.
that one on Parrish....whewwww
disgusting lol
Yep, #3 was absolutely devastating! Best in-your-face dunk I have seen (so far)...
Remember when Vince Carter dunked on that Italian guy?
Yes lawd that was straight filthy with a capital F
Disrespectful.
That dunk on Bird is just Legendary!
One of the Best Dunkers of all time.
Definitely a Fan Favorites!
My heart broke on the day Atlanta traded him away.
Dumbest trade in history. That was there year too with MJ in baseball.
@@PhonyPhoniPhone it was after his achilles injurty and he was nearing the end of his career ... the brother could still score but he wasn't the same
@@dirtmike6258an they were in first place and Mookie Blaylock had great chemistry. Plus they bag of chips they traded him for left that same off-season
@@PhonyPhoniPhone the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth followed by the release of Tom Brady
@@tillman40 oh yeah that was the worst ever in sports. Curse of the Bambino…but in NBA, it has to be that.
Dominique was magnifique!! My favorite player in all of sports period!!
PANATHINAIKOS BC EMPEROR OF EUROPE!
1996 PARIS NEVER FORGET DOMINIQUE WILKINS!
Dominique's form and body control while dunking are pure art. It is picture perfect and powerful at the same time.
That #1 dunk is so underrated on all-time dunk lists. It just looks like a situation where he has no chance of getting a good shot in the next few seconds.
Dominique’s 2-hand windmill on a breakaway is another great throw-down.
the best dunker of all time
I guess you dont know a player called Michael Jordan!!
Nique was 100% Pure Entertainment! No equal to his game slams.
I was in one of these games as a kid,the one when the announcer said "Dominique with 3 seconds left" and I will always remember that day.
Nique didn’t mess around! He was just cold with it all the way around. Loved watching him throughout his career.
Gotta love the ferociousness of “the human highlight film”
Regarding the #1 dunk on this list, Dominique did say on Open Court that Bob Lanier didn't talk to him for several years after that; said his kids had to watch him get posterized.
He made Larry Bird look like he had to contemplate a new line of work on #4.
Christopher McLeod 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is something about him that makes his dunks look so incredible
I loved watching Wilkins, probably my favorite dunker all time.
To this day, no one dunks better than Dominique.
For a 2-3 year period, Blake Griffin was the best dunker the game has ever seen. He just didn't maintain that level for a long period of time due to his injury but I would match his top 10 dunks with anyone - Blake and Nique are the best, however VC has the greatest dunk of all time in the olympics.
@@MrGLites You might want to take a look at Shawn Kemp, before you keep going around saying that Blake Griffin was the best dunker. Kemp was just filthy and disrespectful.
Vision Quest kemp and griffin were monstrous dunkers and get way above the rim
@@visionquest7870Kemp nor vince got wilkins in dunking
..nah
Wilkins loved dunking on Boston 😲
1:10 can we just appreciation how hard Bird tried to block Dominique.His head literally almost went through the hoop.
Back when men played defense. Winning was more important than getting your feelings hurt. I miss those days.
He got owned.
What people don't understand about Wilkins and Jordan is: They actually did their Dunk Contest dunks...ON PEOPLE, in the real games. They didn't care who was in front of them...
Blake Griffin needs to watch number 7 so he can see what a real windmill looks like.
Most underrated player ever.
Vince carter, and wilkens easily the best dunkers
agreed
Shaw Kemp
Jason Richardson as well
Wilkins #1
@darrellwoodfork5143 he was good for a min
Probably the most underrated NBA player of all time. Nique and Vince for best dunkers ever and the rest are not even close.
0:56 - Wilkins was literally surrounded by the entire opposing team and they still couldn’t stop him LMAO
Damn no one has respect for the legend
He stayed dunking on Parish, Bird, and Mchale!!! Back then, the Celtics brought the best out of Dominique.
A 6’8 small forward who is not afraid to get his hands dirty on the inside. How much $$$ would this man command if he was coming out of college today?!? WOW! Great player! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾!!!
Wilkins.... The only person I've ever seen who in midair appears to get an extra boost from his invisible jetpack. He really did look like he was defying gravity
Bird thought he could block Nique at the rim 😂😂😂
DWilkins in his prime was like Prime DWade(without the ring)
but longer , stronger & more athletic ;)
Favorite of all-time. Best in game dunker but so much more. When my Hawks traded him my heart broke.
Got him back though, retired jersey, Statue & Now a commentator for Hawks basketball. What a great player he was. Thank u Nique!
#Truetoatlanta 🏀💯
I was there when they brought Nique back and he had to quiet the crowd down from the boos..
This guy was so athletic,he was a complete freak of nature.Like Dr. J,.....or Randy Moss,the NFL equivalent.And he made it look effortless,like normal people breathing.
Dunk #3 over Robert Parish is my favorite, and is just such power dunk to the enth-degree... Power dunk right there...!
Brutal.
His team mate, think it’s Livingston rolled early and set up Parish for that facial
Vince, Nique, Dr. J.
They make dunk so much fun to watch. No one beats them so far.
Don't forget Kemp
Kemp's dunks were so mean...
MJ and Pip also... so graceful
Benniefranchise David Thompson was pretty nasty too.
Juste Ping Also Harold Miner.
Parish shoved Wilkins with his left hand and still got dunked on.
9 definitely deserves to be higher on the list. That’s the first clip I think of when I hear his name
Lmao Larry sits there like "Well, Shit"
#3 was just vicious.
Dominique had so much power in his dunks, i love it!
On 1992, when the "Dream Team" came to Barcelona to play in the Olympic Games, I was hoping to see Dominique with the American team. That didn't happen 😢 He would have given a great show playing with Air Jordan, Magic, Bird and the rest of legends. Even so, we had the chance to watch the best basketball team ever. Barcelona and Catalonia will never forget those wonderful olympic weeks 🥰❤️
Btw, when it comes to best dunkers ever, Air Jordan and Dominique come to our minds but... Anybody remembers Anthony "Spud" Webb? He played aswell in the Hawks of Atlanta, and won a Slam Dunk Contest (only 1,69 meters tall 😮), beating his teammate Dominique, who said, after the contest: "Lol, I knew he could dunk, but didn't know he was able to dunk that way"😮😮😮😅 Miss those old good times, when I was awake up to 5am to watch an NBA game on TV (5am here, due to the time difference between Barcelona and USA). Greetz to all from the sunny BCN 😊🏀⬅️FTW
The Human Highlight Film.
Didn't know how bad this nigga was eating up Larry bird.
0r3g0n - That's why in his interviews, nique has tons of respect for Larry ?
Dominique Wilkins was my favorite player growing up.
That followup putback dunk on 3 Celtics players was insane
Best Dunker Ever=Best Player Ever.
He deserved a championship
He won in Europe
NBA jam Stacy Augmon and Dominique everytime.
Raw power , athletisme and finesse a very rare combination these times in the league....
if he dunked like tht today, itd be a 5 game suspension haha... greatest dunker of all time along side vince carter
that dunk over larry bird was epic. It should be one of the best all
time
and Nique knew exactly who was rotating over too late, he wanted to give Larry a dose of it
One of the best ever!
My Favorite Dunker Of All Times.
Man he yamed it on the whole heat squad!
Wilkins and Kemp are the 2 hardest dunker ever.
I agree!!
what up true then lebron
Most underrated star ever in the nba. Great player for a lot of bad teams. He had dunks like this every game.
His creativity is of another level
#6 should've been ranked a LOT higher!!
Exactly 6 should had been higher
gotta love the TOMAHAWK over the CHIEF.....get it?
Best leaper off of 2 feet that I have ever seen.
Had the distinct pleasure of getting to watch him in person a lot because my company did A/V for the Omni, and I had an all areas access pass. Even met him once as I was staring at the ceiling of the Omni(we were thinking about purchasing the P.A. system, so no, I wasn't standing and drooling) while practice was going on. Ball rolled over to me and he came to retrieve it, nice guy.
cold-blooded
He dunked on larry bird twice. Just wow.
almost three times but there was one time where Kevin McHale saved larry and just pushed larry out of the way lol
I remember that game!
When I was 12 back in the mid '90s, we'd lower the hoop to 8ft and I would always try to dunk with the ferocity of Dominique.
This dude was legit.. one of the most underrated players of all time..
Wilkins is way better dunker than LeBron...
Best NBA dunkers.
1. V. Carter.
2. Shawn Kemp
3. Dominique Wilkins.
***** leflop? LOL! such an overrated dunker
***** Wow you put up kobe over him i know kobe, blake ,green,and LBJ are good dunkers and all but dominique is one of the best dunkers PERIOD
I'm second to none!
Any dunk list that doesn't have Jordan or Doc is insignificant
Jimmy JC agree
Makes you wonder if there was no Jordan if this guy would've been the one to have the nike logo on everything...
Hell yeah . Nike love them a HighFlyer
I grew up in France during the 90's, and though there was a bit of NBA on TV, it was a pay subscription and my parents weren't buying it. One of few ways I could consume moving-image NBA was by watching MJ videos over and over and over again. There were these few moments when Do Wilkins appeared - those dunks were jaw-dropping. I had only seen those moment from Do Wilkins, yet he was somehow my favourite player.
News Reporter : Is it possible to dunk on a whole team?
Nique: Yes
Nique had frog legs!
1:11 i just witnessed a murder
Back when the best players competed in the dunk contest. Something that will never happen again.
My favorite NBA players of all-time played for my favorite team - the Atlanta Hawks:
- Dominique Wilkins
- Dikembe Mutombo
- Stacey Augmon
Dunk legend, His windmill is dope, great athletic ability from a guy with a girls name.
It's unisex
Screamed like a girl too when he dunked on Parrish. Sick!
Keitumetse M You know he's from France right???
TOP TEN FACT ABOUT DOMINIQUE WILKINS'! But that's not my job. JJ Walker is dead.
His dunks were ahead of his time. Great performance.
Vince carter, and dominique are untouched in ingame dunks!
I met him irl
So?
I don't no maybe it's cool yu fucktards
Parker Barends It is cool their just jealous.
Daddy Stew it’s cool he’s a salty fuck
woojin214 stfu
Dominique got robbed in that 1988 salm dunk sorry mj
Dunks that make ya flinch, awesome
It's kind of sad to watch these old films, because it reminds me that the NBA used to be really exciting, before the rule changes turned every game into a 3 point shooting contest between a zillion commercials.
