Dominique Wilkins Instagram – Repost from @rootsoffight

“I used slam dunking as a tool for intimidation.”
The story of Atlanta’s greatest basketball icon isn’t when he landed, but when he took off. It was how he soared. Glided. How he showcased the windmill dunk, and left jaws on the floor. The battles with Bird were epic. The rivalry with Jordan, unparalleled. The relationship he had with Atlanta? Wilkins became the city’s spiritual architect. He gave it swagger. He turned Atlanta into the New York of the South, and laid the foundation — shot by shot, night after night — for Atlanta’s underground hip-hop scene.
‘Nique was the beat itself, the music in the air, the vibe and the mojo. We’re marking NBA HOF day with this new snapback hat commemorating the Human Highlight Film, @dominiquewilkins21!
