Hawksfreak Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Ira Newble. We have herd this name over and over again. Now a Free Agent Ira wants to come back to Atlanta to keep dominating on the defensive end. Last year before the AS break without Ira the Hawks gave up over 100 points a game. After the AS break with Ira in the lineup the Hawks gave up 6 points less! This guy held all of the key players of most of the teams to way under there avarages. Last time I talked to Ira he didn't even know he had a nickname? I told him "Great defensive year!" and he said "Thanks,thats what I'm here for!" His job is defense thats his upside in the game. Coach Lon said "He made a huge difference in the second half!". "He made the star players look like rookies!" Avaraging 8ppg 5rpg and 1apg Ira thinks his home is here. The Detroit native and former Spur says "Atlanta is a great place to play,I love it here!" The Hawks are expected to resign him so he can continue his dominate denfensive presents. -Mike Pamfilis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
