The most celebrated player to ever put on a Hawks uniform, Hall-of-Famer Dominique Wilkins is now the Hawks' Vice President of Basketball. The 6-8 forward, who concluded his NBA career with 26,668 points, is the ninth all-time leading scorer in league history and his 24.8 career scoring average is 11th on the all-time charts. Wilkins' 23,292 points with the Hawks are the franchise's best, and he ranks second overall in team history in steals (1,245), fourth in rebounds (6,119), fifth in blocked shots (592) and sixth in assists (2,322).

One of league's true marquee players, his outstanding contributions on the court were recognized by the organization in January 2001 when he became the third player in club history to have his uniform number (#21) retired, joining Hawks legends Bob Pettit and Lou Hudson.

Familiar to area sports fans from his collegiate days at the University of Georgia, Wilkins entered the 1982 NBA Draft after his junior season with the Bulldogs. He ended his Georgia career as the school's all-time scoring leader with averages of 21.6 points to go along with his 7.5 rebounds. A three-time All-SEC performer who also took home the Most Valuable Player award from the 1981 Southeastern Conference tournament, he was selected as the third overall pick in the first round by the Utah Jazz.

Extremely active with local and national charity endeavors, Wilkins has done work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Special Olympics, Muscular Dystrophy Association and American Lung Association. In July 2007, Wilkins launched "Nique and Newt's Full-Court Press on Diabetes" with former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich.

He joined basketball's immortals with his entry into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and into the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame's inaugural class on June 10, 2005.
