Atlanta Hawks Tickets

Starting as the Buffalo Bisons, it is safe to say that the Atlanta Hawks have undergone some evolution in their franchise history. Becoming the Atlanta Hawks in 1968, the team has been a mainstay in one of the trendiest cities surrounding the culture of the NBA. And with some of the players and teams that they have put in Hawks uniforms, the team has matched the cool qualities that their city boasts.

Of course, it is nearly impossible to remember the Atlanta Hawks without thinking of Dominique Wilkins. Known for his incredible ability to dunk at will, Wilkins was also a very proficient scorer in real game action. His battles with the Boston Celtics were some of the most valiant in NBA history, as Wilkins put up monster numbers against one of the league's great dynasties.

In keeping with the trend of the Hawks boasting great dunkers on their team, Spud Webb is another member of Hawks lore, winning the contest at a height of five feet and seven inches tall. Other Hawks greats have included one of the greatest shot blockers of all-time in Dikembe Mutombo and scoring great Bob Pettit.

Over the course of Hawks history, the team's biggest rival could well be the Boston Celtics. That rivalry is thanks in large part to those memorable playoff games where Wilkins took on one of the best squads in the NBA.
