The Atlanta Hawks compete in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference in the NBA. The franchise has gone through a few name changes since inception, and won their only NBA championship in 1958, when they were known as the St. Louis Hawks. The team has not won a championship in 64 seasons, the second longest drought after the Sacramento Kings.

All of Hawks’ NBA Finals appearances came between 1957 to 1961, when they were the St. Louis Hawks. The team is currently led by star players Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, and along with new draft picks, they will be hoping to make a deep postseason run in the upcoming season.
