Before they arrived in Athens, the Georgia basketball program had never enjoyed much success. While both men were at Georgia, they took the program to new heights. And when they left, the Georgia basketball was much better than it was before.
Wilkins is definetely the greatest basketball player in program history. He was to basketball at Georgia, what Herschel Walker was to football. The fact that they played around the same time makes me envious of the Georgia fans who lived to watch them both wear the red and black.
In three seasons at Georgia, Wilkins scored 1,688 points, 588 rebounds and 142 blocked shots.
