Congratulations to Bob Rathbun.

1000 games. That's 12 yrs worth of games if he did every game in every season, but it's more like 13yrs of games. That's a milestone!

Rathbun - no R - but yeah - I agree

[ATLJA316]

Yes, big kudos to him.

I love him as our commentator, and often watch random college games just because I'm passing by a channel and hear his voice.

[Gray Mule]

And, he does the Atlanta Dream games too.

As opposed to 'Nique, he has a good lookin girl for those.

He's a homer and he can get really excited when things go well.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I believe this is the 16th year calling Hawks games.

I look foward to those 2 or 3 games year Nique takes off and "The Stinger" and Bob get reunited for old times sake.

It would be intersting to hear how many games he has done in his career including HS, college, and other sports.

They should have a Bob Rathbun day and everyone wear a Rathbun wig.

He's pretty good as an announcer, nothing amazing but a great voice.

What i like about him is his genuine love of Hawks. What's amazing about him is his preparation. He knows the nba, does tons of ncaa games with equal insight, as well as other sports too. For a guy who seems to work 24/7 I don't know where he finds the time to research.
