Seriously, Why Is There an NBA Team in Atlanta?

Get ATL a star and the fans will show up. My Nets were on the bottom of the list in attendance in the late 00's before Deron Williams came.
That is worse than Miami heat crowds when the team is trash

Make your own luck.
I'm a Braves and Falcons fan but no one in Atlanta really fukks with the Hawks like that. They haven't delivered at all. Falcons have given us some contenders and the Braves a championship, but the Hawks?
They're never even really in the running for landing a superstar despite Atlanta being the black capital of Western civilization.
Which means our front office aint shyt.
That Joe Johnson contract broke a lot of backs out here too brehs.

Old heads will tell you thats when the Hawks was the hottest ticket in the city. It also helped that the Falcons sucked, UGA was in a down period and Braves were awful until the 90s.
the hawks are one of only two nba teams to make the playoffs the last 7 seasons in a row (the spurs are the other). given they're in the eastern conference, so that might not mean much, but it does show they can put a competitive group on the floor. on the flip side they also have the second longest title drought behind the kings.
the biggest problem the hawks have is the ownership group. just horrible business people. they can't agree on anything, can't keep a coach or core roster together for more than a few seasons at a time which hurts team recognition and fan connection. they do a terrible job of marketing. they could tout the relative success, bridge demographics by tapping a wide array of local entertainers and superstars from hip hop to pop to country, they don't involve hawks legends like nique and spud enough. the owner group is just cancerous and have pissed away opportunity for a long time. there's no good reason the hawks shouldn't have a stronger fan base when atlanta's other two big professional teams have been just as mediocre or worse and have much more loyal fan base. it's the leadership, they suck.
