The Human Highlight Film !

Nickname Jacque Dominique Wilkins, one of those who remain in the history as it has certainly written a couple of pages of basketball .It reiterpretato how to play basketball managing to coexist with the spettocolarità effectiveness, in a devastating mix of power and skills. Dominique was one of the best players of all time, succeeding even in occasional opportunities to beat his Majesty The Air, recalling the fact that beating Dominique gave him during the race of dunks of 1985, but was soon vindicated by MJ in 1988.
Already from the name of this athlete you can be traced back to its origins French, in fact Wilkins was born in Paris to American parents, as his father who worked in the US Air Force employed there. So Dominique spends his early years in France but then move their Washington in North Carolina, where he went to Washinghton High School where he met and fell in love with basketball, in fact, already in his first year he was named MVP and also included it in Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd ", after his performance of 48 points, 27 rebounds, 9 sciacciate and 8 blocks.
In 1979 he went to 'University of Georgia was obliged to travel with an average of 21.6 points per game and earning a reputation as a show man, for his crazy numbers that showed on the pitch. 
He left the College in his junior year and declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft of 1982. Here he was chosen with the third overall by the Jazz Utha, but in those years had economic difficulties and putting even that was not a goal so very welcome to Dominique, they decided to exchange it immediately with the Atlanta Hawks.
Had finally arrived where he had to be a player of his caliber, the stage was the right one, so right that Dominique did not lower his scoring average ever in one season under 20 points per game, apart from his first rookie still closed with 17.5 and his last seasons 17.8, 18.2 and 5.1.
Year after year, season after season, its level of basketball grew increasingly pushing up its medium and its percentage, finally exploded in the 1984-85 season when the All Star Game won the race by beating Michael Jordan dunk, that was the consecration Dominique Wilkins.
The following year he led the league in points per game with 30.3 and even leading to the Howks Playoffs, here though sopo passing the first round by beating Detroit, Atlanta's race for the title was stopped out by the Boston Celtics of Larry Bird.
In the 1986-87 season, the Hawks return to Paly off. 
Wilkins also keeps in his playoff races that reach dizzying averages 30 points per game, embarrassing.
In the 1987-88 season Dominique continued to play in a wonderful way, but he had to bow to the omnipotence of MJ, which not only do what he wanted in the regular season took his revenge against Wilkins, beating him in the dunk contest, but for soli2 points.

The Howks thanks to its leaders were able to go to Palyoff, advancing to the Semifinals of Conference, here is ritrovareono in front of the Boston Celtics, always led by Larry Bird. The two gave the show in every race leading the fateful clash in Game 7, Wilkins closed it with as many as 47 points on the scoresheet, while Bird with 34, but only 20 of them in the fourth quarter, thereby Boston led by Bird managed to overcome yet once the Howks. Beautiful words of Dominique of that game "The basketball was like a well, I could not miss. He could not miss. And it went down to the last shot of the game. Who was going to make the last shot? That's the greatest game I've ever played in or seen played. It was two guys who just did not want to lose. " 
The seasons following those of 1988-89 and 1989-90, for Howks Wilkins were not easy, barely managing to reach the playoffs, but coming soon eliminated, the only satisfaction that Wilkins took off is the victory of the race of the crushed in 1990
The following seasons were even worse in terms of the team, in fact the Howks failed to arrive even at Palyoff on occasion, but Wilkins continued to make a spectacle on the pitch and scoring mark ever, in 1992 I sign the NBA record for free throws made without errors with 23 and also share reached 20,000 points in NBA career, unfortunately later he broke his Achilles tendon injury this constrinse him to stay out for quite some time.
But he managed to return to the Palyoff agguantati by Howks thanks to him and his scoring average of 29.6. Unfortunately they were thrown out in the first round with a 3-0 by the Bulls MJ.

The following year, Wilkins was exchanged and sent to the Los Angeles Clippers, rather strange move of the leadership of Howks who exchanged their best player this season who was traveling with 24.4 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game, and especially led the conference with 34 wins and 13 lost, the management explained that now Wilkins was 35 years old and they were short of money. 
On 25 March of that year that had been downloaded from Atlanta, he made his personal vendetta, in fact, the Los Angeles Clippers went away on the field of Howks, Wilkins made one of his best races ever put together 36 points and 10 rebounds with an embarrassing superiority.
After that season, Wilkins became a free agent and accaso the hated Boston Celtics, but here he never found the ambiete right to express themselves, so the following season and in the even after he moved to Europe before playing in Greece for Panathinaicos where managed to win the Euroleague and drag the team to the finals of the Greek league but unfortunately losing it 3-2, after a brief return to the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs decided to come to Italy with the shirt of Fortitudo Bologna, bringing some of those we saw only played in the NBA.
After Bologna Dominique returned to the NBA with the Orlando Magic but it was at the end of his adventure in basketball played a decent season closed with 5.0 points per game. Dominique Wilkins, one of the greatest players of all time without a shadow didubbio, the only sin that has never managed to win the Ring of the final consecration, in fact many tend to underestimate his talent judging only from this point of view, but I do not think so and indeed cherdo it was an innovator, it was one of the first if not the first to figure out how to move the body to absorb the contact opponent and be able to complete the same action, also to him we have an endless series of devastating dunks, material for new generations.
Fortunately Dominique has not abandoned the world of basketball and still collaborates with the Atlanta Howks for the growth of young players.
Ladies and Gentlemen Dominique Wilkins.
