This marks the third consecutive season in which Millsap has been named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team.

He has also posted averages of 3.5 assists and 1.4 blocks in 32.7 minutes per game, making him the only player in the NBA averaging at least 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks.

  • Guest Speaker Dominique Wilkins
    ATLANTA, GA GUEST SPEAKER DOMINIQUE WILKINS Vice President of Basketball and Special Advisor to the CEO The most celebrated player to ever put on a Hawks uniform and represented in front of State Farm Arena by an 18,500-pound bronze statue erected in March 2015. Hall-of-Famer Dominique Wilkins is the Hawks' Vice President of Basketball and Special Advisor to the CEO. Wilkins works in various management functions within the organization's basketball and business areas, and as the team’s analyst for the Hawks broadcasts on FOX Sports Southeast. Wilkins is responsible for advising the senior management team on basketball-related issues and working as a strong voice in the community. The 6-8 forward, who concluded his NBA career with 26,668 points, is the 13th all-time leading scorer in league history and his 24.8 career scoring average is also 13th on the all-time charts. Wilkins' 23,292 points with the Hawks are the franchise's best, and he ranks second in team history in steals (1,245), fourth in rebounds (6,119), seventh in blocked shots (588) and eighth in assists (2,321). One of the league's true marquee players, his outstanding contributions on the court were recognized by the organization in January 2001 when he became the third player in club history to have his uniform number (#21) retired, joining Hawks legends Bob Pettit and Lou Hudson. Familiar with area sports fans from his collegiate days at the University of Georgia, Wilkins entered the 1982 NBA Draft after his junior season with the Bulldogs.

  • PUBLICATION: Twitter DATE: 1/4/14
    PUBLICATION: Twitter DATE: 1/4/14 Is Kyle Korver the best shooter ever? If not, then who is? Tweeted by Sam Smith Bulls ready for Korver? Best ever shooter? Will the Bulls be looking at immortality Saturday when they play the Atlanta Hawks at the United Center? Will the Bulls be defending the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA, Kyle Korver? It’s certainly a debatable issue given the various criteria to rate shooting in the NBA. But no one can claim what Kyle Korver can. Korver has made a three-point shot in 102 consecutive NBA games. And no one in the NBA is officially even close anymore since the former Bull blew by Dana Barros’ 89 several weeks ag “It’s pretty remarkable,” Kerr said of Korver’s streak. “I could never have done that. He’s bigger and stronger than I was with the shot. He shoots better off screens. I was more a spot up guy, so I didn’t get as many looks.” But does that make Korver the best shooter in the history of the NBA? After all, if no one has ever been as consistent in three point shooting how can they make the claim they are superior? Steve Kerr doesn’t want to settle the debate, though some can make the case for Kerr. Because there it is in the NBA record book: Highest three-point shooting percentage for a career: .454, Steve Kerr. But Kerr said in an interview not to put him in the class with Korver. “It’s pretty remarkable,” Kerr said of Korver’s streak.
