re: Dominique Wilkins talks to the Herald about his matchups with Larry Bird

quote:

---

If you expect that Wilkins would carry a bit of bitterness toward Bird and the Celtics after all these years, you don’t know ’Nique. He carries those moments, even the bad ones, as a badge of honor. “Let me tell you something: I wouldn’t trade that for nothing in the world,” Wilkins said. “You know why? Because those guys like Larry and Doc (Julius Erving) and Bernard (King), they made you a better player. “You know, if you didn’t have the heart, you got destroyed.”
