Top 50 players in Atlanta Hawks History!

[Diesel]

I'm guessing since Nique's rookie year was 32 years ago.

 

 

Ding Ding Ding... winner winner, chicken dinner.  Most of us with the exception of myself Mule and others don't go back much farther than Nique.

 

But top 32 players for 32 years means that for every year since Nique, there has to have been at least 1 guy who could fit?

[Diesel]

Let's break it down....

 

 

Diesel's Top 32 since 1982...

 

 

**** Must have played 1 season***

 

1.  Dominique
2. Deke
3. Joe Johnson
4. Steve Smith
5. Mookie Blaylock
6. Kevin Willis
7. Josh Smith
8. Al Horford
9. Tree Rollins
10. Danny Manning

Does anybody have a problem with my top ten?  Should we change the way that they are arranged?  Is Deke really good enough to be #2?  What do you say?

I'm not loving ur #10...the thought of him in a Hawks uni actually makes me nauscious

Yeah.  Danny Manning is a bad word... plus he didn't play a whole year so I guess I can remove him.

He neither played much nor played especially well. I think you can remove him from your top 32 completely.

I thought the original list was crazy. Also surprised Diesel had Marvin in the top 30 let alone 50

The list is there to discuss.  I don't expect everybody to agree.   Seriously, some may say that Shareef was top 5.  Some may say that Moses was no higher than 20.  Some may say Where's Reggie Theus, Josh Childress, and Duane Ferrell.   Some may argue against Augmon being higher than Laettner... and all of that is worthy of conversation.

As far as Marvin, I wish that I can say that Corbin, DMC, and Childress had a much bigger effect on the Hawks than he did but I think he had one year that he looked pretty good.  Always the contract years.

Al may eventually be the 2nd greatest Hawk.

[Diesel]

Al may eventually be the 2nd greatest Hawk.

 

 I don't think that Al will ever make the impact.

He may be the greatest Hawks sidekick ever.

[Guest]

Al may eventually be the 2nd greatest Hawk.

Until Al can be healthy and stay healthy and LEAD this team he won't be,
