Atlanta Hawks

Representing the heart of basketball in the South, Atlanta has been home to the NBA's Hawks since 1968. Originally the Buffalo (NY) Bisons, the franchise made three stops in the Midwest before finally landing in Georgia. While the team inspires fans with its play, mascot Harry the Hawk brings smiles to faces in the crowd. Hall of Famers include Lenny Wilkens, and the NBA's first recipient of the MVP, Bob Pettit.
