According to Nique, Panathinaikos gave him an offer he couldn't refuse

I hate when they say he was just a good dunker. HE WAS A SCORER!!!

[workingclass]

He went on with Panathinaikos to become the 1996 European Champions, great memories, great era.. And of course the GREAT DOMINIQUE ..

[nydibs]

I remember watching him and Stojko Vrankovic, that was a great team

[Psysly]

the best ever to have played in greece and all the ue.!!! uplifted basketball to another lvl.. thank you DW greets from greece!!!!

I love how Dominique Wilkins never really says anything disparaging about other people. He is kind. I've been crazy about him since the first time I saw him.😊

[Ricksonkimura]

That might be mild for the NBA today but back in 95, 7 mill was a crazy amount. DW did the right thing

[manarmy]

Should've been on NBA 50s in 96, what a disgrace

Panathinaikos Is the king of Europe !!! 7 Euroleage cap !!! 1995 the first with Super Dominique. 31 points in semi final and Panathinaikos the first time in history going in Europe final!!!! Wilkins thanks!!!!

“Smelled like he never took a shower.” Sounds like funk was that dude’s superpower. 😊

And this was just the start for the EMPERORS 💪💪

Found this out watching the Beyond the Glory documentary a couple yrs back, plus the Hawks organization did him wrong they traded him to the Clippers for Danny Manning.

Get PAID Nique. Fan from the old Omni, Nique's House.

[jeremyballon]

They always forget him. They didn't add him on the Top 50 list. They even skipped over him on the first Dream Team. My all time favorite player.

[shaieresmirnoff]

Wilkins was a beast!!! Way more game then lebron

[ranimal]

Wow!!! That means the great Walter Berry got a raise too!!!

[christoschoumbavlis]

Actually his contract was 1 billion drahmas todays money 3 million euros. 3 million euros today is about 3, 3 usd. And he played only for a season.

why is the music so loud can barley hear you at points

He was the hero of my childhood, and in 1998 i couldn't stand.. Ronaldo the Fenomeno at my Inter in European football, Dominique Wilkins at Fortitudo Bologna basketball.. But i was furious when I saw a dumb mediocre player as Carlton Myers, italian cap, challenging a legendary Nique because he wanted to be the 1st offensive option in the team
