When news broke that the Atlanta Hawks would be unveiling a Dominique Wilkins statue outside of Philips Arena on March 6, most hardcore fans probably held out hope that the bronzed Human Highlight Film would be dunking.
Well, wish granted. Wilkins revealed on Twitter on Wednesday that the mock-up work for the statue is done, and it will see him in the midst of his famous windmill dunk. He later took the tweet down, but luckily this is the internet, and our friends at The Friendly Bounce managed to screengrab it.

The location for the statue outside of the arena is yet to be determined, but a high-traffic area seems obvious, considering the amount of photos fans will likely want to take with Jacques.
