Dominique Wilkins has stated that he’s proud to have been embraced and loved by the city of Atlanta throughout his professional career and post-playing life, but Saturday was likely not one of his favorite moments in the city.
The Pro Basketball Hall of Famer tweeted Buckhead restaurant La Bibloquet turned him away due to racism.
“In my many years in the world, I’ve eaten at some of the greatest restaurants in the world,” Wilkins tweeted, “but never have i felt prejudice or been turned away because of the color of my skin, until today in #atlanta in @LeBilboquetAtl #turnedawaybecauseimblack.
