Dominique was literally called “The Human Highlight Film”.

I like the teams angle. Being on the right team adds a lot.

I was really young in the eighties but anchoring them in iconic teams made it really easy to get to 10 without looking it up:

Julius Irving Moses Malone Maurice Cheeks Isiah Thomas Joe Dumars Bill Laimbeer Rick Mahorn Adrian Dantley Michael Jordan Craig Hodges

I think that’s probably why guys like Dominique Wilkins fade out of conversations. If your team isn’t the Celtics or Lakers and never becomes iconic, your individual accolades need to be special. Scoring titles and slam dunk contests aren’t enough.

Steph is the #1 shooter. Magic is maybe #3 in passing.
