Who is Gerald Wilkins?
Gerald Bernard Wilkins, son of Gertrude Baker and John Wilkins was born on September 11, 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States. His father was a sergeant in the U.S. Army. He has seven (7) siblings, including Dominique Wilkins whom is his older brother.
Wilkins attended Benjamin Elijah Mays High School in Atlanta, Georgia where he played high school basketball. After graduating in 1981, he enrolled at the Moberly Area Community College for a year and transferred to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Wilkins was selected 2nd round, 47th overall pick by New York Knicks in the 1985 NBA draft. He was a consistent figure in the team and the second-leading scorer just behind Patrick Ewing. In March 3, 1991, Wilkins was once named Player of the Week.
Wilkins was a peripheral figure in the Knicks team for his first couple of seasons. His role minimized with the arrival of shooting guard John Starks in 1990 and a further down the pecking order with the arrival of small forward Xavier McDaniel in 1992.
Wilkins became a free agent at the end of 1992 season and was signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers whose core members of the team were Mark Price, Larry Nance, and Brad Daugherty. They made the 1993 NBA Playoffs but were defeated by Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.
Due to injuries, his importance dwindled and he was shipped off to Vancouver Grizzlies in the expansion draft but his injuries woes continued and couldn’t make an impact for the Grizzlies.
Wilkins signed as a free agent with the Orlando Magic just after a year with the Grizzlies. The Magic signed him up again for 1997–98 with a $300,000 contract. In 1999, he signed a three-year contract worth $7 million.
Just like his elder brother Dominique, Wilkins participated in the 1986 and 1987 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where he finished 4th and tied for 7th out of 8, respectively.
