On Thursday, the Atlanta Hawks held an event to unveil a new statue of Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins.
While the statue will be available for the public’s viewing pleasure on Friday for “Dominique Wilkins Night,” the Hawks Twitter account gave people a sneak peek of the breathtaking piece of art.

In addition, Wilkins will get his very own “Dominique Wilkins Lane” near Philips Arena.

The Hawks will also be giving out 21,000 commemorative t-shirts and 21,000 “Wilkins-themed magazines” for “Dominique Wilkins Night” but none of those things hold a candle to this perfect 13.5 feet tall tribute Dominique.
