'Nique Comes Home
As if Tennessee and Georgia aren't capable of supplying enough highlights, the Human Highlight Film was in the house tonight.
NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins was honored after the first quarter by the fans that cheered him when he dominated as a Bulldog, and then later as an Atlanta Hawk.
Wilkins is a guy who just never seemed to get the credit he deserved. He was often overshadowed by Jordan, Bird, and Johnson, and somehow he was left off the list of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players.
It took a while to get into the Hall of Fame, but Wilkins finally made it.
"Actually it hasn't set in yet," he said."When you grow up as a kid you never think about the Hall of Fame."
Tonight he returned to Georgia and the fans got a chance to thank him. Wilkins seemed very grateful for the moment.
"95,000 people," he said, "It's pretty amazing."
