About 90% of the country is isolated in their homes. Most of us are constantly refreshing social media to see how other people (especially celebrities and athletes) are spending their alone time. So, if you had to be quarantined with Atlanta Hawks players, who would you choose to hang with and why: Trae Young –
Today was supposed to be the first day of the Hawks Talon GC new season. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the start of their campaign has been postponed. The silver lining is the league is finding ways to play special exhibitions remotely. The first bit of action we are going to see will be
Like most people, I’ve been eaten up by anxiety over the past week. Constantly refreshing Twitter and checking CNN left me in a serious funk only a few days into the social distancing experiment. It’s trivial, but usually, sports serve as a wholesome escape from stress and worry. Luckily, NBATV has been reairing Hardwood Classics
Trae Young has already surpassed a few statistical milestones set by Michael Jordan. Most games with at least 35 points and 10 assists before turning 22 years old, as well as logging the fourth-most 30-point games within a player’s first two seasons.

Just last week in an interview with Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, Hawks’ CEO Steve Koonin teased new uniforms for

And I couldn’t help but notice how many talented players in the NBA All-Star festivities would make a good fit in Atlanta next season.
Jeff Teague is not the point guard of the future for the Hawks. He may not even be the backup point guard of the future, given his mileage. The 31-year-old has played 11 seasons and logged nearly 21,000 minutes. Only eight other active point guards have been on the court that long. A lot of
We are in the middle of what will go down as the worst year in league history. Not from a style perspective, or lack of competition. Rather in a more unlucky or snake-bit sort of way. Over the past eight months, the following events have taken place: – Kevin Durant tore his Achilles in the NBA
No. Not like this. Dear God, please not like this. Like the rest of the basketball world, I haven’t stopped crying since the news broke yesterday afternoon. Somehow, the show went on, and the NBA didn’t cancel any games. Trae Young was so close to Kobe and his daughter Gigi. Twice this season, the Bryant’s
My hate for tanking is well documented. Chasing the ping-pong ball dragon is a dangerous way to run a franchise. Habitual losing breads bad habits for players and kills coaching careers. Now, after 44 games, the Hawks are tied with the Warriors for the best odds in the NBA Draft Lottery. For most of the
