Dominique Wilkins has meant everything to the state of Georgia.
Since leaving home in North Carolina to attend the University of Georgia in 1979, Wilkins was nothing short of amazing on the basketball. A very talented small forward, he totaled 21.6 points per game over a three-year career and won Southeastern Conference Player of the Year during his junior season in 1981.
Upon being the No. 3 overall pick in the 1982 NBA Draft, Wilkins was selected by the Utah Jazz but would be known as a the “Human Highlight reel” for his efforts with the Atlanta Hawks.
