Seriously, Why Is There an NBA Team in Atlanta?

[kingofnyc]

certain cities are just not for pro sports


and Atlanta is one of them...

That atl traffic is no joke.

Never met anybody who is a Atlanta Hawks fan.... And I know a gang of people from Atlanta

The hawks never have snd likely never will win a single chip their team is competitive though and the traffic is bad

Only way they sell out is with a legit superstar but they won't land one anytime soon

The ATL fanbase only responds to superstars. Before and after Vick, the dome was a ghost town, during that shyt was on fire. The Matt Ryan years have been good stat-wise, but even the dome dont be packed like that all the time because their best player "matty melt" has the arm of Betty White and the personality of a slug

How many times nikkas gotta tell y'all mufukkas don't get outta traffic till close to halftime in ATL

This has been known for years

when they had joe johnson and josh smith, they were selling out.

 

[Taadow]

Because if it wasn't there, it would've stayed in St. Louis.

[BoogieDown23]

For the Knicks its like Madison Square Garden South breh

As a breh trying to move up there in less than a year from Miami. Atlanta doesn't offer c00ns that flare like an LA or NY. Hell, a Miami or San Francisco. It's Atlanta and for all the right reasons.
