--------

Dominique Wilkins shared some candid memories of his playing days on the road, specifically a remarkable pickup game in St. Louis. The former Atlanta Hawks superstar recalled how the impromptu matches, often played 3-on-3 or 2-on-2, focused on the pure fun of the game. He noted that they played in many small towns across the country, but St. Louis, beneath its iconic arch, was an unforgettable location. The motivation was to sell out every performance but also to exercise their love for the sport that begins on the playground. Highlighting a memorable moment from the St. Louis game, Vlad mentioned a play where Wilkins skillfully maneuvered the ball through Michael Jordan’s legs ("nutmegged"). While admitting they always maintained a degree of seriousness, Wilkins underlined these games were primarily about entertaining the fans.
