| Dominique Wilkins |
Rashan S. Michel says that Wilkins owed him money. The Atlanta Journal Constitution broke the story of a former NBA and college basketball referee hit Wilkins in the chest because "he was owed money for suits purchased several years ago".
Michel owned his own clothing store and allegedly Wilkins never paid him. Attacking someone is never the answer when their is a problem. I guess Michel didn't learn that in grade school.
The 36-year-old former ref chose the wrong guy to mess with. Sekou Smit of NBA.com tweeted, "Wilkins got in three "solid" punches during the brief fight, while his assailant landed none."
Wilkins is 51 years old and gave Michel a memorable mug shot. He has yet to discuss the matter, but I'm sure Wilkins eventually will. It's on of those situations where you say 'I'm all right, but that other guy, he better not come at me again'.
Michel got what was coming for him. What shocks me is that all of this happened on the court. Wilkins finished up his post game with Sports South and shortly after walking away Michel came after him. Michel also hit a security guard.
So now that we know Wilkins can throw a mean punch, any chance we see him in a celebrity boxing match anytime soon? Don't mess with the old man, or else you're going to get owned.
Wilkins was dominant for the Hawks for quite sometime and currently does color commentary for the games broadcasted on Fox Sports.
