Young Jeezy, T.I. Among Atlanta Hawks' ATL Favorites

Ballers also share their favorite hot spots in the A.

The Atlanta Hawks have definitely been one of hip-hop's favorite teams ever since the days when #21, Dominique Wilkins, was smashing the competition alongside Spud Webb with his patented Tomahawk Dunk. Everyone loved when 'Nique battled it out with Michael Jordan for the slam-dunk titles. To this day, some people say "The Human Highlight Film" was robbed in Chicago in 1988 when his Airness was crowned the champ -- but that's a debate for another day.

Today, the young Atlanta Hawks players are making 'Nique proud, becoming playoff contenders. In June, around the time of the Birthday Bash, the city's biggest hip-hop concert of the year, the Hawks were giving the Boston Celtics hell in their first-round matchup. You could hear DJs like Greg Street shouting out the hometown team on the radio airwaves and rooting them on. All-Star Josh Smith and his gang set A-Town on fire and are looking forward to going even further in this year's playoffs.

As Atlanta Week on MTVNews.com nears a close, there's no way it would be complete without the ballers repping just like all the town's artists. Here, the Hawks let everyone know some of their favorite rap acts and songs, as well as their own personal go-to spots.

It's Atlanta Week on MTVNews.com! Stay locked here for all we have to offer from the city's heavyweights.
