Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins is known as one of the athletic players in NBA history.

His dunks earned the nickname "Human Highlight Reel." His son, Jacob, has similar moves. He displayed them last weekend at a high school tournament. Check them out below.

Wilkins is called "Baby Highlight" because he has the athleticism of his father. A 6-foot-7 forward, he is committed to Georgia. The elder Wilkins also starred for the Bulldogs before he was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 1982. He was a nine-time All-Star, earning first-team All-NBA in 1986.
