Ask Dr. Darria with Special Guest NBA Alum Dominique Wilkins

Guest Bio: Dominique Wilkins, Former NBA All-Star

Dominique Wilkins is a legendary professional basketball player who began his career playing for the Atlanta Hawks. Wilkins was a nine-time NBA All-Star, and one of the all-time elite scoring machines in NBA history, living up to his college nickname "The Human Highlight Film."

Today Wilkins has a unique position with the Atlanta Hawks, splitting time between the front office as Vice President of Basketball Operations and the broadcast booth as a Hawks game analyst for Fox Sports South.

Away from the basketball world, Wilkins is regarded as a leading advocate for the causes of diabetes and spina bifida research – both of which touch his daily life. Wilkins himself is a diabetic and both his father and grandfather passed away from complications related to Type-1 diabetes. In May, Wilkins will be honored by the American Diabetes Association as a “Father of the Year” for his work in the area. Wilkins has also served as a celebrity ambassador for the Spina Bifida Association, a condition affecting his daughter.
