Some great moves by Nique in this one. He was schooling a young Anthony Mason, a very strong and good defender in the post. And that tip dunk through Ewing...nasty!. To this day i am still impressed by how good Wilkins was after his achilles injury. I really enjoy your Nique uploads Camundo9. Thanks!
Yes, he would have taken much scoring pressure off of Ewing, would have loved to see him play under a Pat Riley system. Never liked seeing him in that Celtics uniform, guess he got a good deal with them, but he ended up hating playing for Chris Ford.
The Hawks had a chance that year but guess what? They traded their iconic superstar in the middle of a super seson. Even with the Clippers jersey Nique demonstrated he was in a great shape that year scoring an amazing 29.1ppg with L.A.C. Lenny Wilkens and the Atlanta team manager still deserve some kicks in the teeth for that trade.
Nique another player like Barkley who never had the supporting cast to go all the way, then, the loyal Hawks organizations trades him for D. Manning I believe it happened in this particular season that was the last time I followed the Hawks.
That was the next season. Achilles injury January 92 at 28 ppg...52 against the Knicks a month earlier. Career high assists per game. Came back 92-93 season (this video) 29.9 ppg. Bob Weiss coach. 93-94 hawks hired Lenny wilkens. Traded after all star break. Averaged 29.1 with clippers over 26 overall...was at 24.3 with Hawks, and was unhappy with diminished role. Lenny approached Dominique before his final game and told him he needs Dominique to be a leader for the team and step up defense. Dominique got 4-5 steals. Hawks won. Traded anyway. Ball movement was great that year. Good team defense. Should've waited til season's end to figure something out..... considering Danny Manning was the best they could do...and Danny told the hawks that he wouldn't stay.
My 3 favorite players. Magic, Ewing, & Nique. Dude brought it every night regardless of how good his team was.

So awesome how 'Nique came back after his achilles injury! Wow he worked his ass off to rehab and get back on the court!
Nique would have actually been the right piece imo for these Knicks to go over the top.

That was the next year
That juke on Anthony Mason at the end was DIRTY!!!
'Nique just awesome in this one, thanks for posting/sharing man.
And that last move by the human highlight film against Mason on the wing ...retape your ankles Mason!!!!
Beautiful to watch!
Last 40 point game for Dominique was December 1994 as a Celtic. 43 points 5/7 on 3s

JL me too bro me too
Not to mention the season he was traded (93/94) was the 1st time in his career the Hawks had a legit shot at the title
