Jacques Dominique Wilkins is an American former professional basketball player who primarily played for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Wilkins is a nine-time NBA All-Star, a seven-time All-NBA Team member and is widely viewed as one of the most acrobatic slam dunkers in NBA history, earning the nickname "the Human Highlight Film". In October 2021, he was honored as one of the league's greatest players of all time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team. Wilkins is the leader in most years with the Hawks, 12 seasons, the most games played in Hawks franchise history, with 882, the most minutes played with 32,545, the most career points with 23,292, and the most points per game, with 26.4 points per game.

Lo Sapevi?
His nickname The Human Highlight Film was coined by legendary announcer Bob Neal and became one of the most apt monikers in sports history — every game featured moments that belonged on a greatest-hits reel.
Wilkins suffered a torn Achilles tendon in January 1992 and returned to score 29 points in his very first game back — an extraordinary athletic feat that redefined expectations for Achilles recovery.
His brother Gerald also played in the NBA for 13 seasons, making the Wilkins family one of the great athletic dynasties in Georgia basketball history.
He became a vice president of basketball operations with the Hawks after retiring, giving back to the franchise where he created his legend.
