Dominique Wilkins Quotations

As long as they are medicated the right way with the asthma medicine they won't have any problems.

I used slam dunking as a tool for intimidation.

But I think role models also start in the home with your parents.

I think it goes hand in hand because if you discipline yourself on the floor, as you become an older player or a more seasoned individual, it adds structure in your life.

Like I said, when you have to play against a great player every night, that defines who you are if you can compete on that same level night in and night out.

I was an all-around player - if I was just a scorer, there's no way the Hawks would have won 50 games four years in a row.

I wouldn't say there is one guy that I would say patterns himself after me.

You are only as good as your team.

Charles and I go back since college. None of us thought this would happen, we just wanted to play basketball. This is the highest honor that can ever be paid, and it's mind-blowing.

Asthma research is a lot better and new medicines are always coming out to help young people.

People came to the All-Star Game to see the dunk contest.

Michael was a rare breed. There's no question about that. He did things that a lot of players could never do, and still to this day players can't do those things, so the honors that he's had are definitely deserved.

The 50 greatest players don't matter when you're in the Hall of Fame. We all know that I was not one of the 50 greatest, I was one of the 25 greatest - in my mind.

I only dunked maybe twice a game on average.

Nate Robinson has a lot of jumping ability, but I don't see Josh losing.

I bleed and breathe Hawks. Even when I played for other teams I felt funny, because I was a Hawk.

Well, (Michael) Jordan was definitely one of the kings of the game. There's no question that he was one of the more dominant figures. If you look at the top ten players of all time, he was certainly one of the most dominant guys.

First off, do everything they can to give their kids the opportunities to play sports; asthma is not a deterrent to playing sports.

Bernard King is the only guy that ever scared the hell out of me.

I like the South because of the people. They are loyal. Once they love a team, they're fans forever.

And I really believe that. Asthma is NOT a disability!

I knew it would happen. Just when was the question. But at this point in time, it doesn't matter if it happened last year or now. It's done. That's the most important thing to me.

I hope I can sign one for all 800 kids.

I have to thank Charles greatly because he's been one of my greatest fans. It's not just our friendship but the respect he gave me.
