Dominique Wilkins, a Hall of Fame legend and former Boston Celtic, recently opened up about his traumatic experience of witnessing his friend’s death at 13, and how it affected him for years in an interview with YouTube’s “Vlad TV” podcast.
“The Human Highlight Reel” recounted the accident in which his friend slipped and was run over by a bus, leading to his death. He also talked about how, despite the distressing event, Dominique and his friends still engaged in bus hopping in his hometown of Baltimore, a risky but common mode of transportation in those days. Wilkins described the profound impact of losing his close friend, as they were like brothers and did everything together, in the exchange.
