i swear we have more fans in atlanta than the hawks do
Atlanta is a horrible NBA town. They really don't care. They love their Falcons and their Braves and I guess since Atlanta never fields a team capable of going to the Finals people don't care.
The only way Basketball will Really ever be relevant in Atlanta is if they get a true superstar who "puts on a show".
Tim Duncan, alone, for example wouldn't cut it. They need a Big Name like Kobe or LeBron.
That's why it's funny watching Ferry go the cap space route because it won't work.
