With a name like “Tree” Rollins, you expect that the man would be tall, right?  Yes, you would be right.

While Doc Rivers is far better known these days for his coaching work (he is a former Coach of the Year with an NBA Ring in Boston) there are many in the state of Georgia who will always remember him for his sweet passes to Dominique Wilkins.

Foregoing college for the NBA Draft, Josh Smith brought instant excitement to the Atlanta Hawks.  He first garnered national attention as the winner of the 2005 Slam Dunk Contest as a rookie, but the expert dunker proved to be a true savant as a blocker.  Notably, the youngest player to get to 500 Blocks, Smith would finish in the top five in Blocks four times while posting seven seasons scoring over 15 Points per Game.

Known for his strong defensive game, “Mr Rounds” Dan Roundfield brought a ton of “power” to the Power Forward position.  Roundfield came to Atlanta after a three-year run in Indiana and would reward the Hawks faithful with five Defensive Team Selections and three straight All-Star appearances.  In all but his final season with Atlanta, he averaged a season double-double; however, the one he missed was because he averaged only 9.9 Rebounds per Game.  Not too shabby for a Central Michigan Chippewa!
