A few days ago Dominque Wilkins and two other NBA Greats, Charles Barkley and Joe Dumars, were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. It is a fitting honor to the "Human Highlight Film".
Nique is one of my childhood basketball heroes. His classic slam dunk duel with Michael Jordan made me believe as a kid that man could fly. Well Jordan made me believe the flying thing. And Nique - he was just the nemesis ;)
On 2005, All-Star weekend, Slam dunk competition, Josh Smith donning Wilkin's #21 Jersey, threw one of Dominique's signature dunks, The Windmill. The whole arena went crazy and the judges all gave perfect 10's.
And with that I was brought back to the past when Nique's poster, Clyde Drexler, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird filled the walls of my room. Number 21, along with 22, 23, 32, 33 are part of a generation of larger the life basketball legends. They are the past. But there is no doubt that they have greatly influenced the stars of today who have taken their place in the arena.
