Atlanta Hawks
Since relocating to the metro area in 1968 from St. Louis, the NBA's Hawks have called Atlanta home for more than 43 seasons. From "Pistol" Pete Maravich to the "Human Highlight Film," Dominique Wilkins, the Hawks are a franchise rich with history and tradition. Having participated in the playoffs in more than half of their seasons in Atlanta, the franchise is still seeking to win its first NBA championship (the franchise did win an NBA title in 1958 in St. Louis). With nine 50-win seasons and four Division championships to their credit, the Hawks have established a solid tradition over the last four decades.
The aforementioned Wilkins is one of the NBA's all-time scorers and heads the list of Hawks players or coaches who have been honored with their election to the Basketball Hall of Fame, joining such talents as Maravich, Walt Bellamy and Moses Malone, as well as Coach Lenny Wilkens and Coach Hubie Brown.
Atlanta Hawks basketball makes their home at Atlanta's Philips Arena.
