neither did elgin baylor, charles barkley, dave bing, pat ewing, george gervin, karl malone, pete maravich, john stockton and nate thurmond. nique deserve to be on that list somewhere. he help reinvent the game, made atlanta relevant, still did things that havent been done today, great ambassador. the dunks confused people of his image. nique was not one of my favorites but his credentials speak lound and his skills were ridiculous.

[Geezer895]

Everyone says Wilkins didn't have an all round game - for an player whose job it was to put the ball in the basket, he still pulled down 6.5 boards a game and averaged about 1.5 steals a game for his career. Fair that his all round stats don't compare to say Scottie Pippen, but Scottie never dropped 30 a game during his playing days. Not being selected as one of the top 50 players in the NBA was a rort.

@thatdudecozz89 I agree 100%....

@Chrisy70 I remember my dad telling me that Nique was traded and saying "Naw you lying"...then Munson/Van Note announced it on radio...

You had the best record not just the East, in BASKETBALL.....no Jordan...that was the opportunity that Kasten/Babcock and L.Wilkens punted away...

[thatdudecozz89]

Stan Katsen and Mike Babcock should just rot in hell for allowing one of the GREATEST players in Atlanta Hawks history for a player that didn't want to be in the ATL. I see why many people in the ATL don't show up at many games (unless the Lakers or Heat, or somebody came to town). Btw, I'm from New Bern, NC, a half-hour from Washington.

[Chrisy70]

I remember watching CNN and Nick Charles annoucing the trade. I cried like a baby.

Leading the Central Division and Kasten trades him for Manning.

the Hawks were on a roll with Mookie and Kevin Willis.

I think Jordan was out of the NBA at that time.

The Hawks could have challenged for the Eastern title that year.

Nique never had a guy like McHale or Aquirre to go along aside him.

[TheDamdavis]

Nique gave atl everything he had, and they traded him after all the tickets sold and playoffs apearences, it just proves the owners don't give two cents about the players. When they think you aren't profitable they trade or release you.I don;t have a problem these new players saying f that and trying to get rings let them team up.

@sjgilley lmao

you may lose your knees, but you dont lose your touch.

@DJRICO404

Good point but what about the hiest it was to get him. John Drew, and Freemand Williams, and I think like a pick somewhere and half a mil. to get him from the Jazz.

[sjgilley]

his shoes had to be heavy as shit

[alluvialedaempfer]

Okay i didnt know he wasnt in the top 50 and thats just RIDICILOUS ! everybody leaving out nique from the top 50 doesnt know anything about the game.
