Dominique is so underrated. A lot of people think he was just a dunker, but let me list the people who have scored 25+ PPG for 10+ consecutive seasons: Allen Iverson Jerry West Shaquille O'Neal Michael Jordan LeBron James Karl Malone Dominique Wilkins
@user2176 7 жыл бұрын
Glad you understand! He was my hero growing up. If you watch just highlights of Nique, or just one or 2 games, he seems like just a showboat player who takes wild shots. But if you watch many of his games, you start to realize that he was a total original player, he had physical gifts that enabled him to play the high intensity and creative style that he brought to the game. He was a true leader, and lead his team with his talent and his heart, that's why Atlanta Fans still love him to this day. Dominique and Iverson are the same in that way, they would both die for the teams they played for and give their lives for the fans. They also both understood that pro basketball is about entertaining the fans and filling seats, which they did every night by leaving their hearts on the floor and playing with an inspiring style that made kids want to play basketball.

@@willieduffie4967 Indeed. Nique made me love this game when I started to watch NBA, and I remeber I used to prefer him over MJ, even when I liked MJ a lot and enjoyed so much his prime in Bulls. Nique was a BEAST, you were specting his out of-this-world dunk every day....Sadly he did suffer a serious injury when playing his most complete basketball and never had a really competitive team (you know, one Scottie Pippen or one James Worthy close to you...), thus maybe he is the most underrated player ever. No doubt if basket business were like today, he would have easily gotten a 200 million contract in a top franchise and had fighted for championships. But he was a one club man, great Nique!!!

Huey Freeman Hardest in terms of physically and talent I feel like today d can be just as effective in a stop but in terms of wearing people down an being imposing being able to do what he did for that long in that era is more impressive And although centers maybe more Athletic the centers from the 80s to early 90s were far better and just as big

The degree of difficulty on MJ's shots. Damn in all the career highlight videos you see of MJ, 3 of those plays came from this game alone. Play#1 - 3:14 Play #2 - 5:34 Play #3 - 7:56 And dont forget his double pump 3 pointer and a lot of difficult shots. By the way, Dominique also is lit. Damn its a crime he's not in the 50 greatest players of all time.

@@reidos8992 Actually, the jump shot was boring, Dr. J dunk ... then they were okay with it until MJ was doing it and said he didn't have a jump shot. Well he proved them wrong by beating team just with jumpers. The 3pt shot was only needed in those times when you fallen behind. MJ and others was so great at driving to the basket to get a free throw (3pt play) that 3pt shooting wasn't needed. However the NBA has taken away the physical part of the game and hardly call fouls any more. If you drive to the basket and is fouled you probably won't get the call. Zion will bring back the art of post up and the 3pt play ... similar to what Lamar Jackson is doing in the NFL. Physical play will return to the NBA, not like it use to be but it will make that 3tp shot less deadly when teams have to play big men in the post.

Jordan had so much trouble trying to guard Dominique and Nique showed him no respect on the court. In today’s game players are all joking and friendly and in the 80’s and 90’s players went at each other hard. No one was friends in the off season either. Erving, Bird, Jordan, Wilkins, Thomas, Magic, Hakeem, Malone etc...these dudes weren’t chilling on banana boats and teaming up just to win championships.
