Dominique Wilkins recounts his rise to elite status in 1985. He attributes his rapid development to the guidance of seasoned players and the valuable life skills he learned alongside basketball. Focusing on a major playoff year, Wilkins recalls the heat of competition, specifically the intense playoff series against the Celtics. He recounts the suspense of a game six loss to the Celtics, after which Larry Bird made a confident prediction of victory for Boston. Wilkins shares his rallying words to his team, setting the stage for an unforgettable seventh game in Boston. Despite the ultimate defeat, Wilkins remembers Bird's words of equal respect, and considers this the greatest acknowledgment a player can receive in such a high-stakes situation.
