So we’ve had ATL legend Dominique Wilkins saying he’d like to own the Hawks. Chris Webber came out a few weeks ago with the same sentiment.
And now, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Dikembe Mutumbo is also showing interest to buy the Atlanta Hawks.
Former Hawks player Dikembe Mutombo has met with a group of investors about joining their bid to buy the Atlanta Hawks.
The group, which is made up in part of Atlanta businessmen, has begun the preliminary work to get involved in the sale of the team. Talks are ongoing. The group may also consist of other former NBA players. They hope to meet with the NBA commissioner’s office in the near future.
Mutumbo also has history in Atlanta, winning two “Defensive Player of the Year” awards in his five season stint with the Hawks.
This is actually getting interesting. Bidding war anyone?
