One year when MJ was not in the dunk contest and Wilkins was, Mike hollered at Wilkins and said “Keep it in North Carolina” just before DW was attempting his dunk. Back then, the All-Star teams would attend the dunk contests.

i love nique. Back in the day though i loved jordan , nique was the guy i gravitated to. I think its the name, " Dominque Wilkins" and that flat top tight cut, the slight bull leg walk and explosive. Great guy. I would scramble home or to a tv when i heard bulls were playing the hawks to watch their matchup. If its anyone that jordan really respected and neither talked crap on each other it was nique.

I was born in Detroit but moved in with my grandparents in Alabama at 11. I was a Pistons fan no doubt. My Granddaddy was a Braves fan since they were the closest baseball team so I kinda adopted the Hawks. I was a Nique fan over Jordan so I for sure thought he got screwed. If I remember they gave him a 45 on a 2 handed windmill and he got a 50 on a one hand. Harder to do with 2 hands. He got cheated! Let's change the topic 😤😁 Swing one arm around and then do 2.
