Haha! I’m using “ties” as “something (such as an idea, interest, experience, or feeling) that is shared by people or groups and that forms a connection between them — usually plural”. Regardless of if Luka never played for us, he does have a connection to us since we drafted him. His history includes the Hawks and is something others could use as fact. Same way Carmelo has ties with us when we traded for him, then bought him out. Was he productive as a Hawk… absolutely not. Was he a Hawk… absolutely.

4 of the 5 AS5 have ties to ATL! Nice.

Agreed! What’s so funny about this is that the commentators before the New Zealand game mentioned Steve Kerr said USA needs to “run the basketball, share the basketball, and rebound the basketball” to succeed internationally. Not sure if they got the best players on the roster for that style of play.

Bruno knows no mercy!

Brought me back to NBA Jam… WITH AUTHORITY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AJ!!!

Haha! Nah, just looking for the and 1. Gotta support awesome posts like these!

100% THIS!

Posted this in a different Hunter thread (tweets from Pat Bev, Demar Derozan, PG13, and Jeff Teague regarding if players are about basketball), but applies here as well! We NEED to take heart and passion into consideration (not just talent/skill) if we want to win! Sadly (like my quotes post says), it looks like Hunter falls on the other side of the coin and the silent summers aren’t helping his case.

Didn’t even know these statements existed, but they help prove my point here and make me wonder if DeAndre Hunter is on the other side of this coin (prove me wrong). We NEED to take value in this (not just talent/skill) if we want to win! If you’re bag focused, could care less what happens on the court, and aren’t winning… GTFO!

Wasn’t this tweet referring to Trae as the GOAT PG since that other franchise player Trae was working out with obviously doesn’t fit that mold ? In all seriousness, who’s to say this can’t be true when it’s all said and done if he continues to improve his shooting efficiency (working out with the best) and defense (Quin looks to be unlocking something here) with his already superstar level of play!

Yeah, that’s crazy! Although he technically played games for the Hawks, it was preseason and should at least be considered as an honorable mention (unreal). Wow, if you include players that played less than 5 games with the team, I don’t think anyone could build a roster as stacked as this! PG: Bob Cousy / Luka Doncic / Ty Ty Washington SG: David Thompson / Kelly Oubre Jr. / Devonte’ Graham SF: Dr. J / Carmelo Anthony / Rudy Gay PF: Pau Gasol / Rasheed Wallace / Derrick Favors C : Bill Russell / Wayne Embry / Arvydas Sabonis

Seeing this tweet below got me thinking of this thread and the history of the Hawks. Do we have the greatest Atlanta Hawks team of players that never played for us? WARNING, may invoke feelings!!! Lemme see… am I missing anybody (looked at both players we drafted and traded for)? PG: Bob Cousy / Luka Doncic / Ty Ty Washington SG: David Thompson / Kelly Oubre Jr. / Devonte’ Graham SF: Carmelo Anthony / Billy Thompson / Rudy Gay PF: Pau Gasol / Derrick Favors / Usman Garuba C : Bill Russell / Wayne Embry / Arvydas Sabonis Honorable Mention: Rasheed Wallace (1 game) Which team could make a better roster? I think none.

HOT SAUCE!!! So critical for us that year! Wasn’t he flirting with a 50/50/90 season that year (he couldn’t miss)! Threezus!
