Gerald Wilkins : The Jordan Stopper Was Athletic Like His Brother Dominique

- This is a look back on Gerald Wilkin's career. Gerald Wilkins was an elite athlete like his older brother and hall of famer Dominique Wilkins. Constantly being a threat at the rim for a thunderous dunk. Whether from blowing past a defender or slashing to the rim. Though inconstancy with his offensive game held him back from being a star player. But when his shot was on, he was tough to handle. However, Wilkins was always tough on the defensive side of the ball. Taking on the tough matchups slowing down the other team’s best player. Starting his career with the New York Knicks finding himself quickly being a steal of the draft developing into Patrick Ewing right hand man within the offense. Helping turn the knicks back into playoff contenders. Before heading to Cleveland where he’d be brought into be the Jordan stopper. As the cavs hoped Wilkins would be the final piece to get them past the bulls. Creating lots of media hype playing into the role as well. Though things as one would know did not go ideal for Gerald Wilkins as there is no one who can stop Jordan. But he was able to make it more difficult than most for Michael despite the gaudy numbers and sweeping the cavs. Not long afterwards Gerald Wilkins picked up an Achilles injury taking away some athleticism and aggression which he relied upon to succeed. Ending up playing for the expansion grizzlies before joining the Magic as they retooled. Even getting a chance to play with his brother in Dominique Wilkins for Orlando to end his career.

An outstanding and thorough profile of a top tier role player in the NBA.
He was a solid NBA player. He made a name for himself.
The Jordan Stopper... that was Hype. Gerald can't be blamed for it. You know how media and fans can be.
Jordan fan here dumars and rodman probably
They thought he was really good until Jordan just shut it all down. The Jordan stopper my ass
Those Dominique vs Gerald Wilkins games (Hawks vs Knicks) was very entertaining back in the 1980's.
They was constantly trying to out do each other
Its a shame Detroit & the Bulls killed off those late 80's early 90's Knicks because man they were damn great side to watch. If they'd just been able to stick around till 94, they would have won against Houston.
Gerald Wilkins was like an early version of Jaylen Brown. Solid player.
Gerald was fun to watch on that Bomb Squad Knicks team.
Good job doing a video on Nique's bro. I hope one day you do a video on Sam Lacey.
Can you do a video on Craig Hodges
Being called the jordan stopper was instantly a curse . Gerald Wilkins was young and didn’t realize they had set him up for failure. This first reporter that called him that should have been slapped silly immediately.
Great Video.
He was definitely one of the best defenders against Jordan.
Gerald Wilkins , was not a jordan stopper , he wasn’t stopping Jordan I was watching him
Player Request: Roy Tarpley
The Jordan stopper? U can't call him that... bc he never actually stopped MJ. Mike said himself, "He can't gaurd me..."
Jordan stopper ROLMFAO 😂😂
Gerald Wilkins was a decent player, but he was nowhere near his older brother Dominique. And he was no Jordan stopper. Does anyone remember
"The Shot 2" in Cleveland?
The bulls beat the Cleveland cavaliers with Gerald Wilkins on the team in the 94 playoffs without Jordan Jordan stopper that is absolutely hilarious Jordan swept the cavs in 93 and like I said they didn't need him in 94 in the first round when Scottie pippen knocked Wilkins out of the playoffs he couldn't even stop pippin let alone Jordan
Do Charles Oakley.
Gerald was a great competitor. But no Jordan stopper.
Gerald wasn't a star player like his brother Dominique but was still just as good as Dominique was
Nah
😂😂😂 u out your damn mind... he was no where near as good as Dominique... what the hell u talkin about?
@weswarden2216 well maybe not but he still should've gotten at least some credit of what he does
No he wasn't
I didn't say Gerald was great cuz dominique was great I said he was pretty good. A big difference
Do kelly tripuka next

YEZUR, GUVE ME A WILKINS NEW YORK JERSEY ANYTIME!!!!!!! U ALWAYS SEE THE SAME OL' JERSEYS THESE DAYS, ESPECIALLY THIS NEW SCHOOL TRASH. THESE NEW CATS AINT GOT A DAMN THING ON THESE OLD SCHOOL DUDES!
“ The Jordan stopper “ another idiot trying to change the narrative he did what most people tried to do like holding and grabbing MJ even when he didn’t have the ball, face guarding as well like he literally didn’t want to take his eyes off him and he still got roasted he wasn’t any better then anyone else who tried to stop Jordan.
