About the Jersey
This was the first jersey that Dominique Wilkins wore for the Atlanta Hawks. This was due to Wilkins being drafted by the Hawks in 1982.
Although the Hawks were dominant during this period, the Hawks never made an NBA finals. This was due to the eastern power houses of Detroit and Boston knocking the Hawks out of the playoffs.
This jersey is synonymous with the Slam Dunk Contest for the 1980s where Wilkins and Spud Webb, both of the hawks, challenge for the Slam Dunk Contest title.
