A statue of Dominique Wilkins stands outside the main entrance of State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The monument was designed by sculptor Brian Hanlon and depicts Wilkins, a former basketball player who spent several seasons with the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association, as he is about to perform a slam dunk. The statue was dedicated on March 2, 2015, during a private ceremony at the arena, which is the home venue for the Hawks. It was publicly installed outside the arena the following day.
