Chuck woke up this season and chose violent brutality on Kenny.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣man he be cooking Kenny dawg
And D-Wade woke up and chose to sew a matching scarf to his shirt
Bruh that was too funny 😂
@@Paralysisbyanlysis wouldn’t at all be surprised if Wade comes out of the closet. Dude is a fruit
Well deserved against kenny
The respect that Chuck, shaq, dwade and kenny have for dominique is awesome, greatness recognize greatness!
Dominique had to complete as a 1 man team vs Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, & Pistons teams that each had multiple HOFers…Nique was just him and Doc
Facts. That’s what seems to be missing from the game now. A lot of the younger players take the advice of older players as disrespect.
Greatness and kenny😂
@@mikeyoungblood94 was Just him, and a few K.Willis, Who was Doc?
Kenny isn't great fyi
The most important thing about this list for me was that Dominique Wilkins made it. One of the all time great scorers, my greatest in-game dunker, and a great 3 point shooter later in his career. This guy went toe-to-toe with Bird and MJ in their prime, and sometimes shined even brighter. 10 straight seasons averaging at least 25ppg, which guys like Kobe and Bird have never even done. Very well deserved for the one and only Human Highlight Film!
And with all that said he not a better scorer than both dont throw shade on them to up him thats wack on top of that Kobe aint avg 25 for 10 straight seasons mainly because he aint start at first not his fault thats on L A but he has avg over 30 multiple times highest 35 ppg i believe so i guess that even it out considering the fact Dominique never did that
Absolutely sensational player, certainly one of the best ever!!
Jonny hurry up and make a new top 75 comparing the actual list to the one you made before. Big fan of your channel bro!
@@quintonweems3956 Stop it. I can tell that you wasn't born yet or too young when the Human Nightlight Film was putting in work.
@@dvaughn5330 I wasnt but you not go tell me he was a better scorer than Kobe or Larry, Kobe 4th all time scoring on that list for a reason, 81 in a game for a reason multiple 50 and 60 point games for a reason all you have to do is go back and watch film he was nice not Kobe or Bird tho stop it Bird a play with his off hand and still drop 40 not to mention the man a talk to you tell you what he was go do and score nothin u could do trust me i know enough.
One of the most underrated players of all time. Took the 80s Celtics to the brink. Went head up with Larry Bird.
💯 FACTS!! ATL & NBA legend
Hella Fax!
Thats why he was called THE HUMAN HIGHLIGHT REEL
Nique had a great gm 7 88 vs Celtics but in 86 hawks got steamrolled by Cs ....Shaq in 97 never should've been named over dw
@@leoderosia9279 true. Shaq even said during Open Court that he felt like his name got up way too early and people like Nique and McAdo shoulda made it first
he should be included in the top 50s. he was the hawks
But still can't get into Atlanta restaurants...
@@OlJackBurton wdym?
@@OlJackBurton 😂😂
Trae young is hawk
That's the truth, no shade at Spud or Kevin or Tree Rollins...but number 21 was the Hawks offense, the big guys got whatever he left on the rim.
Domique Wilkins is not only a top 50 NBA great of all time. He is even a better person. I've met him a number of times and he was very kind & humble. You've never heard of Domique Wilkins in any controversy on or off the court.
Not controversial but remember when he threw hands at that guy that said he owed him $$$ at a Hawks game? 🤣
@@FuShengAlex Listen, man, if some strange dude says I owe him money, he might catch them too 😄.
@@GrimeBot-io7ho I respect him for handling that on the spot man to man and not even motioning or waiting for security to step in. 🤣.
Hes just as bad a man off the court as he was when he was a player.
@@FuShengAlex makes me love him even more now
If you talk about the Hawks Dominique Wilkins is the only person that comes to mind. the man averaged 25 points per game his whole career. and he has over 26,000 points. probably one of the most underrated players ever. I’m glad he got his just due.
@@NinodaBlogger The 1st one to do it
So never heard of Bob Pettit? Trae Young?
@@PoliticusRex632 Are they better than Dominique Wilkins?
@@jallison5457 Pettit was yes
@@PoliticusRex632 Dominique Wilkins is the most talked about Atlanta Hawk of all time .Bob Pettit was great . but nobody talks about him.
Chuck got me rolling the way he roast Kenny lol
Very, very happy for Dominique. A true legend and a class act.
Yeah. It was good to see how he perked up talking to the other OGs, having started out on a serious note.
This kind of positive conversation and interaction is what the world needs right now.
This legend has played for the team of my heart in Greece Panathinaikos for 1 year at 36 yo. We won our first euroleague that year and we began a dynasty. Talk about impact.
1:25 Dominique's delivery of that comeback was perfect lol
One of best dunkers in the league
No lower than 3rd best in game dunker all time no matter how you dice it up
I have him 2nd greatest dunker of all time after Vince
Dominic , Kemp, Carter are my top 3
nique literally carried the Hawks into the playoffs his entire career, in the same division with Michael Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Isiah Thomas.
Yes and nobody in nba history had less help than Dominique Wilkins. Back when the lakers celtics pistons bulls were stacked Dominique had Doc rivers and spud Webb as teammates. Crazy
Him not being there on the first list was a travesty...
Agreed 💯
And Shaq got in after just a couple season in the league.
I agree, and it’s a good thing you didn’t say absolute travesty ( I think that’s copyrighted) 😀
Exactly. It didn't make ANY sense.
Facts
Finally, he made it. Underrated, one of the best players in this sport.
Glad players like him and Reggie are getting the respect they deserve.
No other sports show can do an interview like this. So fun to watch these guys have a conversation with Nique. You can see the respect they have for each other. Only this show can make an interview like this enjoyable to watch.
Dominique could shoot also. A great scorer on all levels.
I can't imagine how scared the players were after Nique took a J because they already know the putback coming from #21 himself
man mchale once joked in open court that still givin him nightmares
never made a conference finals tho
@@dusttaker because he played for Atlanta & they didn’t get him consistent help .. thank Luka with the mavs today
@@dusttaker what does that have to do with his ability to shoot? you can be a great player and not make the finals smh it's a team sport.
He should've been top 50
Yes..
Who were the idiots who didn't vote him in? I bet a bunch of white stiffs!
Dominique: He was leaving I was coming. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the best dunkers in the league that era , took those 80s Celtics in that 7 game series , that series in 1988 tho
That Game 7 is one of my favorite games of all time.
Thank god they got it right this time, it's a shame he wasn't included in the original top 50 list
this is such satisfying 6minutes. So much love and respect toward each other.
At the end, always love this show.
When Inside the NBA comes back it feels like the first day of school with the homies
Nique was a freak transcendent athlete like MJ, Bo Jackson etc. One of a kind and genuine great human being.
MJ,Dominique, and Bernard King were the greatest scorers I ever saw in my lifetime. Guys who when they got going was absolutely NOTHING you could do to stop them.
Yeah Nique had such a clean spin move with an enormous stride
Bernard King was soooo cold
I agree. Bernard King was a great player.
So glad to see Dominique getting the love he deserves.
Smh too many people thinking the first 25 are top 25 here. They're all equal teammates on this list. Appreciate greatness, stop finding negatives
Y'all did this man right! Well done and well deserved!
Should've given it to him 25 years ago tbh
@@mikeyslots_ Agree. And Alex English.
One great thing about this Era is that flowers are given to people while they are here.
The human highlight is really what he represented I used to watch the hawks mainly to see his power dunks and a game full of highlights
BACK IN THE DAY YOU HAD TBS & WGN. YOU WAS A WILKINS OR JORDAN FAN. I WAS A WILKINS FAN!! CONGRATS DOMINIQUE 👏🎊👑💯
what a time, To be alive.
It was wgn for us
Totally awesome that Dwayne Wade gave Dominique his flowers.
And the reciprocation!!!!
This is the best f****** segment! Appreciate the good people in your life. Tell the people you love that you love them!
DOMINIQUE IS A LEGEND. IT WAS AN HONOUR TO HAVE HIM IN GREECE IN PANATHINAIKOS. HE IS EUROPEAN CHAMPION AND AT AGE OF 36 HE PLAYED LIKE TEENAGER. THANK YOU MISTER.
Chuck and Nique are absolute legends.
Somebody wake Shaq up.
Dominique Wilkins was UNREAL.
Dominique great legend, great man, Atlanta Hawks legend, one of the greatest in nba history, God bless!
Nique was truly a highlight reel.I still think he beat Jordan in that dunk contest.
Thank you Dominique Wilkins, you are a class act.
Great interview. Dominique Wilkins has always been the man and will continue to be. Hope he gets into a show and keeps spittin’ game 👏
The MOST underrated player all time. Known for dunking but when people talk about it, it's always Julius to MJ to Vince and to Bron in the passing of the torch.
Bron?? Lol
Still my all time fav player... the human highlight reel... just about everyone else wanted to be 23 as a kid, but I wanted to be 21 for sure!! Much respect!!
He was more popular than MJ 1984 to 1987
As an Aussie kid I first heard of Dominique Wilkins from a game boy game, and he was the only player who had a better ppg than Jordan and I had never heard of him, from then on I started to pay attention and he has been my favourite player ever since. Amazing player and an amazing man off the court too, true legend! Congratulations!
Dominique Wilkins one of the most underrated players to ever play the game.Just look at the dunk contest against Michael Jordan. He should have been one of the top 50 to ever play. The NBA black ball Dominique. The younger generation look at his highlights.
Not even that. Him and Mike were going at it for the scoring title in the 80s
The most underrated player of all time......one of my favorite players
I was shocked when he wasn't on the top 50 list. Amazing player
Better than MJ in 1984-1986
Remember watching him play, he was brilliant on the court..
Well deserved, Dominique! One of the greatest NBA players of all time!
It was Nique and Jordan 1 and 2 for years, I can only imagine what he could have done with a Pippen like player along side. He should have been on the top 50 over alot of people. Such a humble guy, glad to see him get his flowers
Imagine nique and ewing on one team. They both had no other perennial all star teammate in their primes. But imagine the two together oh boy
1 and 2 in terms of scoring but for me the best players from 83-88 were Bird and Magic. Especially Bird, he was that guy in the mid 80s
People dont know but a trade almost happened to have Pip and two draft picks for Nique to Chicago. Imagine MJ and Nique im Chicago uniforms 😳
@@kingdarkonda1460 That would've been wild
@@jasonrussell8088 ya they would have lost 5 games in 1988 season and went undefeated in the playoffs
Growing up in Atlanta as a kid in the 80s, there was no bigger star/icon for us.. he transcended all celebrity.. Congrats Nique, well deserved and looong overdue
Facts.....college park in da building
You can tell how much it means to him to be on a list with his peers. Well done to the voters for recognising and fixing a mistake that was made 25 years ago. Congrats Nique, well deserved.
Man so glad to see him up there with those great players. Him and Reggie definitly made small markets dream to win an championship. That's why i hope that Chris Webber would be on that list.
Can we just appreciate how great of a man Nique seems to be? He always seems to have the answer to whatever question and the patience to hear them too
#wisdom #greatness
I met this man in the summer of 1976 in O'Donnell heights when I was 16 and there is no way that this man was not supposed to be in the top 50. Every time that I see him it begins back good memories. He helped transform the game of basketball
Nique is one of the best NBA retired players who did interviews. He is always humble, classy and have respect for other greats. I love to listen this man. He deserves to be in top 50, no question about it. In my private rank he is in top 20.
A true NBA legend! Glad he is getting the recognition he has always deserved.
"It doesn't matter what number you are"
Imagine MJ saying that and meaning it. 😅
Shows greatness comes in different forms. Respect to Dominique and he deserves to make this list.
Chuck going off this season Kenny watch out
Chuck said enough is enough imma take it from Shaq but not from Kenny
5:18 “I don’t remember the Kenny smith era” - chuck 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
First it was Dr J and then Dominique came along and then MJ. One of the best dunkers and scorers in the history of the game.
The best segment shown today, just fantastic camaraderie and respect shown.
he is always so composed when he talks, such an interesting dude. his stuff on open court is great.
I’m so happy he made it finally getting his respect
He should've been on the 92 Olympic dream team
Yes indeed I totally agree 100% Dominque, Hakeem, and Isiah. take Stockton, Mullin, and Laettner off and switch them off for them. That would have been the greatest Olympic team of all time
@@Tyubnj uhhhh hakeem isnt american 😂😂😂
@@unknownunknwn914 yeah but he became a citizen and was on the 96 squad
@@Tyubnj I agree with you on Laettner. But the idea then was we needed shooters and Mullins could SHOOT. Stockton was the only backup to an OLD Magic. Not that Isiah couldn't shoot. He could.
@@trackcoachmac I don't recall mullin playing that much in the Olympics... I know in 85 he had a major impact in the Olympic games. But in 92 I just don't remember 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Dominique is another LEGEND. 'how i wish he was playin' today,, in his prime..'
Much love and respect for the human highlight film Dominique Wilkins finally placed where he should have always been. he was the only player on that list who could compete with the great Michael Jordan head to head they had a lot of memorable battles one game Jordan 49 Dominique 57.
Congrats to wilkins man mad respect the human highlight reel and he should of made it when they did the top 50 list back then
Bro they be cooking Kenny smith 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations Nique!!!!! I'm an Athens native and been a fan since his days at UGA!!!
Aside from his game and career, Dominique Wilkins is One of the most popular NBA names ever !!!!!!!! Top 75 baby
Dominique seems like a real gentleman and great person. Happy for him
That game 7 shoot out vs Bird and the Celtics was a classic
This made me smile from ear to ear
dominique is a goat bruh 😭 I fw him heavy
Dominique Wilkins is absolute class, true greatness and he holds himself to high standard, always great to hear him, true all time great
Considering his achievements Dominique should have been in that top 50 back in 97 . Dunno who you kick out but he was a great player.
Congrats Nique to truly deserve it... Respect Atlanta Folks!
Dominique is such a legend. Well deserved. The way he acts, talks.. He’s just such an incredible guy. Props to him!
I personally think the 80s and early 90s was the best era of basketball. Barkley, Jordan, Wilkins, bird, magic, drexler, Hakeem, Ewing, Malone, Stockton. These guys made basketball fun to watch.
The human highlight I one of my all time favorites.
Congrats Jacques Dominique Wilkins!
Nikos Galis, Dominique Wilkins, Toni Kukoc were my favorite players growing up in that era.
This was wholesome and beautiful. Basketball is incredible
They need more segments with OG players reminiscing like this.
Trae Young's predecessor. This man was the only reason the Hawks were relevant in the 80s-90s.
Kevin Willis: "Am I invisible?"
Doc Rivers: "This dude must be a Ben Simmons fan."
Moses Malone: "20 and 12 ain't good enough for you?"
Spud Webb: "I... I won the dunk competition."
Believe it or not, Dominique was just as good as Michael Jordan
He was better than MJ 1984 to 1986
@@kingdarkonda1460
AB-SO-LUTE-LY HE WAS !
He was dominant..well deserved
This is one of the reasons I love the NBA!
As long as Nique is on it, then I’m good. Should have been on Top 50!!!
He should've been on the 50th team glad he made it guy was the second leading scorer of the 80s at nearly 30 ppg behind mj and kudos to Shaq for always recognizing real being humble
Greatness recognize greatness
Dominique, always loved your battles man. I’m a Celtic fan but was always routing you on against others! Your definitely 1 top dog! Thanks for the memories! Very cool, high class and loved it when you was with Celtics!
NBA on TNT real question though: why not upload full episodes?
One of my childhood heros here in Atlanta
Luv you Shaq for recognizing Nique. Bravo, Shaq!
That double entendre at the end 💀
He was grocery shopping! 🤣
Man D. Wade comes across so Eloquently! Humble guy.
Congrats Nique! Got to see Nique play in 94 on the USA team up here in Canada, one game at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, and the other at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.
I think everyone here who grew up or watched Dominique Wilkins play were shocked when he didn't get selected to the NBA Top 50 Players. But before that I remember he was traded mid season from Atlanta to LAC. It was pretty shocking because at that time, it was rare superstars got traded, let alone mid season before the trade deadline. Trades were just small ones to help beef up the team for title runs with solid role players, nothing big most of the time.
On another note I love the love the TNT crew gave him, especially from Shaq! Mad respect for calling him to apologise...👊👏👍
