The coolest tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. took place in Atlanta, as the Hawks had a digital projection of the civil rights icon and a choir introduce the players Monday night.
The Hawks gave a sold out Martin Luther King Day crowd plenty to cheer about Monday.
With a 93-82 victory against the Detroit Pistons, the Hawks won for the fifth consecutive year on the holiday for the civil rights leader.
The Hawks have hosted an MLK holiday game for 16 consecutive years and 24 times overall.
“It’s great to come out here on this day,” Paul Millsap said after the Hawks win. “It’s an honor, especially in Atlanta.”
