The Legacy of “The Human Highlight Film”

Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006, Wilkins’ illustrious career is marked by his explosive scoring ability and electrifying dunks. As the Atlanta Hawks’ all-time leading scorer, his legacy is immortalized with the retirement of his No. 21 jersey by the franchise.
