Since there were a couple threads discussing clyde drexler i thought I create another one for an 80s 90s legend not related to the bulls. Enjoy.

One of the greatest scorers to ever play the game. Electric player. Really ferocious. Selfish at times though and a was a pretty big jerk.

Quickly becoming though one of the more underappreciated super stars of that era. He's obviously remembered for his dunking but I think if you told people he was a guy what lead the league in scoring once and was 14th all time in points per game they'd think you were lying.

A lot was made of his failings in the playoffs but I don't think that's really fair as it wasn't really due to Wilkins sucking. The Hawks were just never a better team than people like the Pistons, Bulls, or Celtics. The only time he lost to another team in the playoffs in his era with the Hawks was when they lost to the Bucks in 89 in a five game series in the 1st round.
