Guest Speaker Dominique Wilkins ATLANTA, GA GUEST SPEAKER DOMINIQUE WILKINS Vice President of Basketball and Special Advisor to the CEO The most celebrated player to ever put on a Hawks uniform and represented in front of State Farm Arena by an 18,500-pound bronze statue erected in March 2015. Hall-of-Famer Dominique Wilkins is the Hawks' Vice President of Basketball and Special Advisor to the CEO. Wilkins works in various management functions within the organization's basketball and business areas, and as the team’s analyst for the Hawks broadcasts on FOX Sports Southeast. Wilkins is responsible for advising the senior management team on basketball-related issues and working as a strong voice in the community. The 6-8 forward, who concluded his NBA career with 26,668 points, is the 13th all-time leading scorer in league history and his 24.8 career scoring average is also 13th on the all-time charts. Wilkins' 23,292 points with the Hawks are the franchise's best, and he ranks second in team history in steals (1,245), fourth in rebounds (6,119), seventh in blocked shots (588) and eighth in assists (2,321). One of the league's true marquee players, his outstanding contributions on the court were recognized by the organization in January 2001 when he became the third player in club history to have his uniform number (#21) retired, joining Hawks legends Bob Pettit and Lou Hudson. Familiar with area sports fans from his collegiate days at the University of Georgia, Wilkins entered the 1982 NBA Draft after his junior season with the Bulldogs. He ended his Georgia career as the school's all-time scoring leader with averages of 21.6 points to go along with his 7.5 rebounds. A three-time All-SEC performer who also took home the Most Valuable Player award from the 1981 Southeastern Conference tournament, he was selected with the third overall pick in the first round by the Utah Jazz. Hawks officials valued his talents enough to send two players (John Drew and Freeman Williams) and cash to the Utah Jazz on September 2, 1982, for his draft rights, and Atlanta had its first superstar since Pete Maravich. Instrumental in the team's success in the mid-to-late '80s, Wilkins electrified Atlanta sports fans as the club recorded 50-win seasons four straight times from 1985-86 to 1988-89. He averaged 29.1 points over that period, and in the 1988 All-Star Game, he ripped the nets for 29 points in 30 minutes of action. Wilkins led the Hawks to the playoffs in eight of his 12 seasons with the Hawks. His finest hour came during the 1988 postseason when Atlanta narrowly missed reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, as the Boston Celtics eked out a two-point victory in Game 7 of the conference semifinals. Wilkins averaged 31.2 points in 12 playoff contests that year, and having participated in 10 years of playoff competition, scored 25.4 points per game. After missing only 18 of a possible 738 regular season games his first nine years, Wilkins suffered a season-ending tear of his Achilles tendon midway through the 1991-92 season. Wilkins responded the next season by scoring 29.9 points per game to finish second to Michael Jordan for the league scoring title. He was a member of the NBA All-Rookie Team in 1983 and was named to seven All-NBA teams, nine consecutive all-star squads and was a two-time winner of the NBA Slam Dunk Championship (1985 and 1990). On November 6, 1992, against the New York Knicks, Wilkins became the 17th player in league history to join the 20,000-point club, and later that season (February 2, 1993, against Seattle), he supplanted Pettit as the franchise's all-time leading scorer. His stellar career in Atlanta came to an end on February 24, 1994, when he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. At the conclusion of the year, Wilkins decided to test the free-agent market and signed with the Boston Celtics. Wilkins joined Panathinaikos Athens of the Greek League the following season (1995-96). He was named MVP of the European Final Four after averaging 20.9 points and 7.0 rebounds and leading the team to the European Men's Championship. Seeking a return to the NBA, Wilkins signed a free-agent contract with San Antonio and provided more than the Spurs possibly imagined, leading the team in scoring (18.2 ppg) while grabbing 6.4 rebounds. He returned overseas for the 1997-98 campaign, signing with Italy's Teamsystem before rejoining the NBA for his final professional season (1998-99), as Wilkins saw action in 27 games for the Orlando Magic. Extremely active with local and national charity endeavors, Wilkins has done work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Special Olympics, Muscular Dystrophy Association and American Lung Association. In July 2007, Wilkins launched "Nique and Newt's Full-Court Press on Diabetes" with former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich. In March 2010, Wilkins was honored by the Georgia State Legislature and presented a State Resolution naming him the Diabetes Ambassador for the state of Georgia. He is also a diabetes ambassador for Novo Nordisk, a world leader in diabetes care. Wilkins, 59, was born on January 12, 1960, in Paris, France. He joined basketball's immortals with his entry into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on September 8, 2006, was inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame on April 3, 2004, the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame's inaugural class on June 10, 2005 and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on November 18, 2016. Wilkins was honored in October 2011 with his induction into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame. .

  • Atlanta Hawks to Retire “Pistol” Pete Maravich's
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 1/13/17 CONTACT: Garin Narain, Jon Steinberg or Jason Roose, Hawks Media Relations (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA HAWKS TO RETIRE “PISTOL” PETE MARAVICH’S ICONIC NO. 44 Jersey of Hall-of-Famer Joins Franchise Greats Hudson, Mutombo, Pettit, Wilkins and Turner in Philips Arena Rafters ATLANTA, GA – The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club has announced the organization’s plans to retire the iconic “Pistol” Pete Maravich No. 44 jersey in a special halftime ceremony when the Hawks host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, Mar. 3. “Pete Maravich is one of the league’s all-time greats, an icon of the game and was a very important figure in pro basketball in Atlanta in the early 1970’s. New generations are discovering the wizardry of his game through YouTube and social media,” Hawks’ Chief Executive Officer Steve Koonin said. “We are proud to hang his No. 44 in the rafters at Philips Arena alongside our other franchise icons – Dominique Wilkins, Bob Pettit, Dikembe Mutombo, Lou Hudson and Ted Turner.” Maravich, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987, was drafted third overall by Atlanta in the 1970 NBA Draft and played in 302 games with the Hawks from 1970-74, averaging 24.3 points, 5.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 37.2 minutes (.448 FG%, .809 FT%). In 658 career games with the Hawks, New Orleans, Utah and Boston, he averaged 24.2 points, 5.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 37.0 minutes (.441 FG%, .820 FT%).

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.

  • A Short History of St Martins Athletic & Harrier Club
    A Short History of St Martins Athletic & Harrier Club Foreword The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the St Martins Athletic and Harrier Club. This brief history has been prepared to mark the occasion, for although St Martins no longer exists as such, it continues in the form of its successor, Port Hills Athletic, formed when St Martins merged with Cashmere Hillmorton in 2002. In preparing this history, it became evident that besides the names of those mentioned herein, the history of running and track and field in St Martins has been one of countless numbers of people taking up the sport and then enthusiastically giving of their time and energy. Many of those are still with the sport, even more have ‘moved on’ for various reasons, whether it be that their children grew up, they moved to somewhere else, they were no longer able to compete because of age or disability and so on. Be that as it may this history is therefore a salute to all those who have so generously given to the sport in so many ways over fifty years. Thank you to John Dumergue, Kevin Jago, Graham White, Les Woods who provided feedback on the preliminary version. ~ Stuart Payne August 2015 1 Contents Beginnings page 3 Club growth 6 Children’s athletics 19 Flagship and other events 22 Clubrooms 24 Club newsletter 27 Social activities 30 Governance 32 Umbrella club participation 35 Amalgamation 36 Some high-profile achievements 37 Conclusion 39 Appendices - A.
