So as we know. The Atlanta Hawks are in flux up in ownership. As Bruce Levenson willingly sells the franchise, people are starting to wonder “Who will buy the Hawks? And for how much?”.
Well. According to TMZ Sports, Dominique Wilkins, Hawks legend, is interested in buying the franchise that made him a Hall Of Famer.
Multiple NBA sources tell us … Dominique is “extremely interested” in becoming the next owner of the Hawks — and has already been pre-approved for ownership by the NBA.
We’re told Wilkins — who has amassed his own small fortune over the years — has partnered up with a “very well-known businessman” who believes Wilkins would be the best person to lead the Hawks back to NBA glory.
Hopefully the Levenson ordeal can be sorted quickly. And the fact Nique has a wealthy partner backing him up is a great momentum boost.
I really hope this happens. Wilkins is one of my favourite players and the fact that he could be a part owner of the he dominated with, is a fairy story if I’ve ever heard of one.
