Dominique Wilkins reconnects with fan he gave shoes to 42 years ago: 'Totally blew me away'

This past Sunday, Dominique Wilkins was enjoying a late afternoon meal at 7Pie Pizzeria & Bar in Dahlonega, Georgia, about 65 miles from Atlanta. He noticed a man walking toward him. Wilkins didn’t recognize the man, but it isn’t uncommon for him to be approached by strangers. He’s used to fans asking for an autograph or a selfie, even though his playing days have long been over as a 15-year NBA Hall of Famer with two dunk contest titles and a scoring crown.Advertisement
