NBA: All-Time Starting Five of the Atlanta Hawks

Forward – Dominique Wilkins

The greatest Hawks player ever is Dominique Wilkins. There is no doubt about that. The Human Highlight Film holds a lot of records in franchise history. He is the Hawks’ leader in points, points in season, points in a game, field goals made, minutes played, most games played, and many more.

In 12 seasons with the Hawks, Wilkins was a nine-time All-Star and made an All-NBA Team seven times. He was the scoring champion in 1986 and led the Hawks to eight playoff appearances. In 1988, Wilkins had the most memorable game in Hawks’ history, a duel against Larry Bird in the Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Honorable Mention: Pete Maravich

You thought I won’t mention Pistol Pete? Well, Pete Maravich started his legendary career with the Atlanta Hawks. In his four seasons with the Hawks, he was an All-Star two times and even made the All-NBA second team in his third year. His No. 44 jersey was retired by the franchise in 2017.
