Classic Sports Card of The Day

08 Nov

1987 Fleer basketball card of former Atlanta Hawks’ superstar Dominique Wilkins. Originally drafted by the Utah Jazz, Wilkins was traded shortly after being picked, and became the face of the Atlanta franchise for over a decade. He was a 9-time NBA All Star, and one of the league’s most prolific scorers and dunkers. He won the NBA Slam Dunk contest twice, and earned the nickname “The Human Highlight Film”. A serious Achilles tendon injury slowed his career in the 1990s, and he kicked around the NBA and played in Europe at the end of his career, but was voted into the Hall of Fame in 2006.
