PROFILE |
 |
The Atlanta Hawks first shot baskets in 1946 as the Tri-Cities Blackhawks in the old National Basketball League. The team joined the NBA in 1949, shortened its name, and roosted in Milwaukee and St. Louis (where it won its only title in 1958) before settling in Atlanta in 1968. The Hawks were playoff contenders in the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to players such as Dominique Wilkins and Dikembe Mutombo (traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2001), but never made the finals. Coach Lenny Wilkens (the winningest coach in NBA history) took the helm in 1993 but resigned after a poor 1999-2000 season. Former University of Illinois coach Lon Kruger replaced him. Turner Broadcasting, a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner, owns the team.
