    Dominique was the cleanest dunker ever. No "thrunks", no ball rattling around inside the rim, etc. He straight punched that shit through the goal like a volleyball spike, with full power and full extension. Fucking beautiful.

I know it was a different racial climate in the late 1970’s, but Wilkins and his family were receiving death threats when he was coming out of high school in NC. It was because he chose Georgia over playing for UNC or NC State!

    Let me just tell y’all . Mjs greatness can’t be denied , but if you were from anywhere in the south in the 80s Dominique was our guy . He got robbed in Chicago and of course was always compared to Michael . He didn’t have the overall game Mike did I’ll admit . But this man was a machine, a true superstar that sadly gets forgotten . Unbelievable athlete that averaged 25 or more for ten straight years only a few have done that . He was durable tough and brought it every night even after a Achilles injury back in the day ,he came back with a vengeance. He deserves so much more credit than what he gets . This man is an all time great . There hasn’t been a player before or since that did what he did at the rim . And don’t hit me with Vince . Closest thing is kemp , but Dominique was more consistent and had more longevity .

    Dominique's explosion from the ground to the hoop was so unreal. Truly a genetic freak of nature and worth the price of admission all by himself. If the Hawks had ever actually tried to put a few more all star caliber guys around him Atlanta could've made some real noise in that era. My favorite player ever to this day. I also always loved the way the crowds would, in unison, go "Whooooooooooooooommmmppp" when he dunked the ball, and they did it in both home games and on the road, thats how special this guy was

    Simply the best dunker ever.
    I have been watching the NBA since the '70s, and while there have been plenty of extremely athletic and impressive dunkers, none have really come close to matching 'Nique. The combination of hang-time, vertical, ferocity, and clean finishes was really unique (no pun intended).
    Shawn Kemp came close, but Dominique produced 20 scintillating dunks for every one of Kemp's. I grew up in Chicago, and have the greatest respect for Michael, but in terms of in-game dunking, it was really no contest.
    Forget about all of the props and gimmicks seen in todays sad dunk contests - 'Nique in action during games, as this video illustrates so well, is yet to be matched, let alone improved on.
