Dominique Wilkins reflected on his career, regarding his time playing for the Clippers, the Celtics, and being a member of Dream Team II. Wilkins recalled feeling nervous during his first game against his former team, the Hawks, after being traded to the Clippers but he ultimately scored 38 points in total with most made during the second half of the game. Later as a free agent, he decided not to return to the Clippers due to the organization's problems and instead joined the Celtics, largely due to coach Red Auerbach. Wilkins also dismissed any claims of Boston being a racist city, stating his experience was positive, and he even continued living there for five years after retirement. Additionally, Wilkins recounted playing on Dream Team II alongside other greats such as Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, and Shawn Kemp.
