* Daron '''"Mookie" Blaylock''' was a point guard drafted #12 overall by the Nets in 1989 after he took Oklahoma to an appearance in the NCAA title game. The Nets traded Blaylock to the Atlanta Hawks in 1992, where he truly flourished as a defender and scorer, becoming the Hawks' all-time leader in both steals (leading the NBA in the category in '97 and '98) and three-pointers in just seven seasons. He retired in 2001 after a few years with the Warriors. Sadly, his basketball achievements have been somewhat overshadowed by his personal health struggles, his battle with alcoholism, and a three-year jail sentence for killing a mother of five in a 2013 car accident that nearly took his own life. Non-basketball fans might know him best for popularizing "Mookie" as a nickname, to the extent that an early '90s grunge band originally named themselves "Mookie Blaylock" before the studio forced them to change it to Music/PearlJam (their [[Music/TenPearlJamAlbum massive debut album]] was still named after his jersey number).

* '''Cliff Hagan''' was a Hall of Fame small forward drafted in the third round in 1953 by the Celtics, but an extra graduate season at Kentucky and two years in the Air Force delayed his entry into the NBA until 1956; before he could play for Boston, he was traded to the St. Louis Hawks as part of the deal to secure Bill Russell's rights. His excellent hook shot was a key component to the Hawks' 1958 championship, and he racked up five All-Star nods in St. Louis. Hagan spent the last three seasons of his pro career as a player-coach with the Dallas Chaparrals, notching an ABA All-Star appearance and retiring from play in 1969 while pushing 40. After one more year as the team's coach, he returned to his alma mater to serve as AD for several years.
* '''"Sweet" Lou Hudson''' was a Hall of Fame swingman drafted by the St. Louis Hawks #4 overall in 1966 out of Minnesota. A prolific scorer for his era, he earned six All-Star selections in his decade with the team that witnessed their move to Atlanta. He retired in 1979 after two seasons with the Lakers and passed away in 2014, being posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022.

* '''Dikembe Mutombo''', or, in full, [[OverlyLongName Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo]] was a legendary center out of [[UsefulNotes/DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo DR Congo]]. He spent [[LongRunner 19 seasons]] in the NBA, with five each for the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, and Houston Rockets, picking up eight All-Star nods. Mutombo had never been in the States before enrolling at Georgetown with ambitions of becoming a doctor. However, his 7'2" frame and athleticism changed those plans. He starred alongside Alonzo Mourning (see Miami Heat) before being picked #4 overall in 1991 by the Nuggets. In his five seasons there, he led the league in blocks thrice and picked up the first of his record ''four'' Defensive Player of the Year awards (a record later tied by Ben Wallace) in 1995. Going to the Hawks in 1996 as a free agent, he won his other three DPOY awards ('97, '98, '01) and led the league in rebounds twice. After being traded away in 2001, he made NBA Finals trips with the Sixers and Nets, then spent a couple years with the Knicks before finishing his career in Houston (after being traded from the Knicks to Chicago, then to Houston without playing a game for the Bulls), retiring behind only Hakeem Olajuwon in career blocks but having [[EveryYearTheyFizzleOut never won a championship]]. The Nuggets and Hawks both retired his #55, and he made the Hall of Fame in 2015. Mutombo, however, may be even better known for his humanitarian work, mainly in Africa. Most notably, he spearheaded the building of a major hospital in his hometown of Kinshasa. He's the only two-time winner of the NBA's Citizenship Award. Mutombo was also well known for his [[IShallTauntYou signature taunt]], waving his index finger to an opposing player after a blocked shot, and his distinctive deep, gravely voice.

* '''Bob Pettit''' was one of the greatest players of the '50s and '60s. The 6'9" Hall of Fame forward drafted #2 overall out of LSU began his career in 1954 when the Hawks were still in Milwaukee, averaging a double-double and being named Rookie of the Year. The next season, with the Hawks now in St. Louis, he led the league in [[JackOfAllTrades both scoring and rebounding]] and won the NBA's first official MVP award. He went on to take the Hawks to their only NBA title in '58, won MVP again in '59 after again leading in scoring, and received four All-Star Game MVP awards (a record now shared with Kobe Bryant). In the 1958 Finals, Pettit scored 50 points in the Hawks' series clincher, a feat that wasn't repeated until Giannis Antetokounmpo did it in 2021, and kept the Celtics from an even longer championship streak. Perhaps most notably, he's the only player with 10 or more seasons in the league to be named All-NBA in every season of his career, earning first-team honors every season except his last (1964–65), in which he was on the second team due to injuries that led to his early retirement. He's further the only retired player [[TheAce to ever average over 20 points every season of his career]].[[note]]...besides Alex Groza, who only played two seasons before receiving a lifetime ban.[[/note]] He was the first player to score over 20,000 career points, sits behind only Chamberlain and Russell in career rebounds per game, and the Hawks retired his #9.

* Wayne '''"Tree" Rollins''' was a center who played [[LongRunner 18 seasons]] in the NBA, the first eleven of which were spent with the Atlanta Hawks after he was drafted #14 overall out of Clemson in 1977. Rollins led the NBA in blocks in '83 and remains the franchise leader in the category, though NBA fans likely know him best as the guy who nearly bit Danny Ainge's finger off in a playoff game. He retired in 1995 after already serving as a player-coach and spent the next two decades as an assistant.

* Anthony '''"Spud" Webb''', who is noted for his height - ''5 feet 6 inches''. He is the shortest player ever to win - or even ''enter'' - the Slam Dunk contest, doing so in his 1985 rookie year with the Atlanta Hawks and beating out acknowledged slam dunk master and teammate Dominique Wilkins (above), a feat that earned the fourth round pick from NC State massive fame. He played seven nonconsecutive seasons in Atlanta (split by four in Sacramento) and retired after '98; he's currently president of basketball operations for the Texas Legends, the Mavericks' G League team.
* '''Dominique Wilkins''', a.k.a. "The Human Highlight Film", is the Atlanta Hawks' all-time leading scorer. Originally drafted by the Jazz at #3 overall in 1982 out of Georgia, he forced a historically lopsided trade to the Hawks. The Hall of Fame forward was known for his thunderous dunks, usually on top of opposing players. He won the Slam Dunk contest twice; his notable Slam Dunk contest losses were to Spud Webb and to a tightly contested final against UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan. The nine-time All-Star was also a scoring machine, winning the scoring title in '86, having a career average of 24.8 ppg, and setting a unique NBA record with 23/23 made free throws in a '92 game. The latter record was set shortly after he became one of the few players to recover relatively well from a torn Achilles, normally a career ender. He was traded to the Clippers midseason in '94 and spent the next five years bouncing between various teams in the NBA (including Boston and San Antonio) and Europe, winning the European Cup with Panathinaikos Athens in '96 before retiring after 1999 after a stint in Orlando where he played with his brother, longtime journeyman Gerald. The Hawks retired his #21.
* '''Kevin Willis''' was one of the greatest LongRunners in NBA history. A #11 overall pick in 1984 out of Michigan State, Willis spent eleven seasons with the Atlanta Hawks (missing all of the 1988-89 season and claiming only one All-Star nod in '92) before launching into an even longer journeyman stretch with seven different teams that included him picking up a ring with the '03 Spurs. In total, he played 23 years and 21 seasons in the NBA (missing two complete seasons from injury, but still tying Robert Parish's then-record season mark). Before his retirement in 2007, Willis became [[CoolOldGuy the oldest player in modern NBA history]] at 44 years old; he would be ''the'' oldest period were it not for Nat Hickey, the coach of the 1947-48 Providence Steamrollers of the BAA, who activated himself for two games just shy of 46. He is the Hawks' all-time leading rebounder and sits at the very top of many career stat lists among players eligible but not inducted into the Hall of Fame.

He starred alongside Alonzo Mourning (see Miami Heat) before being picked #4 overall in 1991 by the Nuggets. In his five seasons there, he led the league in blocks thrice and picked up the first of his record ''four'' Defensive Player of the Year awards (a record later tied by Ben Wallace) in 1995. Going to the Hawks in 1996 as a free agent, he won his other three DPOY awards ('97, '98, '01) and led the league in rebounds twice. After being traded away in 2001, he made NBA Finals trips with the Sixers and Nets, then spent a couple years with the Knicks before finishing his career in Houston (after being traded from the Knicks to Chicago, then to Houston without playing a game for the Bulls), retiring behind only Hakeem Olajuwon in career blocks but having [[EveryYearTheyFizzleOut never won a championship]]. The Nuggets and Hawks both retired his #55, and he made the Hall of Fame in 2015. Mutombo, however, may be even better known for his humanitarian work, mainly in Africa. Most notably, he spearheaded the building of a major hospital in his hometown of Kinshasa. He's the only two-time winner of the NBA's Citizenship Award. Mutombo was also well known for his [[IShallTauntYou signature taunt]], waving his index finger to an opposing player after a blocked shot, and his distinctive deep, gravely voice.

* Anthony '''"Spud" Webb''', who is noted for his height - ''5 feet 6 inches''. He is the shortest player ever to win - or even ''enter'' - the Slam Dunk contest, doing so in his 1985 rookie year with the Atlanta Hawks and beating out acknowledged slam dunk master and teammate Dominique Wilkins (above), a feat that earned the fourth round pick from NC State massive fame. He played seven nonconsecutive seasons in Atlanta (split by four in Sacramento) and retired after '98; he's currently president of basketball operations for the Texas Legends, the Mavericks' G League team.
* '''Dominique Wilkins''', a.k.a. "The Human Highlight Film", is the Atlanta Hawks' all-time leading scorer. Originally drafted by the Jazz at #3 overall in 1982 out of Georgia, he forced a historically lopsided trade to the Hawks. The Hall of Fame forward was known for his thunderous dunks, usually on top of opposing players. He won the Slam Dunk contest twice; his notable Slam Dunk contest losses were to Spud Webb and to a tightly contested final against UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan. The nine-time All-Star was also a scoring machine, winning the scoring title in '86, having a career average of 24.8 ppg, and setting a unique NBA record with 23/23 made free throws in a '92 game. The latter record was set shortly after he became one of the few players to recover relatively well from a torn Achilles, normally a career ender. He was traded to the Clippers midseason in '94 and spent the next five years bouncing between various teams in the NBA (including Boston and San Antonio) and Europe, winning the European Cup with Panathinaikos Athens in '96 before retiring after 1999 after a stint in Orlando where he played with his brother, longtime journeyman Gerald. The Hawks retired his #21.
* '''Kevin Willis''' was one of the greatest LongRunners in NBA history. A #11 overall pick in 1984 out of Michigan State, Willis spent eleven seasons with the Atlanta Hawks (missing all of the 1988-89 season and claiming only one All-Star nod in '92) before launching into an even longer journeyman stretch with seven different teams that included him picking up a ring with the '03 Spurs. In total, he played 23 years and 21 seasons in the NBA (missing two complete seasons from injury, but still tying Robert Parish's then-record season mark). Before his retirement in 2007, Willis became [[CoolOldGuy the oldest player in modern NBA history]] at 44 years old; he would be ''the'' oldest period were it not for Nat Hickey, the coach of the 1947-48 Providence Steamrollers of the BAA, who activated himself for two games just shy of 46. He is the Hawks' all-time leading rebounder and sits at the very top of many career stat lists among players eligible but not inducted into the Hall of Fame.

* '''Cliff Hagan''' was a Hall of Fame small forward drafted in the third round in 1953 by the Celtics, but an extra graduate season at Kentucky and two years in the Air Force delayed his entry into the NBA until 1956; before he could play for Boston, he was traded to the St. Louis Hawks as part of the deal to secure Bill Russell's rights. His excellent hook shot was a key component to the Hawks' 1958 championship, and he racked up five All-Star nods in St. Louis. Hagan spent the last three seasons of his pro career as a player-coach with the Dallas Chaparrals, notching an ABA All-Star appearance and retiring from play in 1969 while pushing 40. After one more year as the team's coach, he returned to his alma mater to serve as AD for several years.
* '''"Sweet" Lou Hudson''' was a Hall of Fame swingman drafted by the St. Louis Hawks #4 overall in 1966 out of Minnesota. A prolific scorer for his era, he earned six All-Star selections in his decade with the team that witnessed their move to Atlanta. He retired in 1979 after two seasons with the Lakers and passed away in 2014, being posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022.

* '''Bob Pettit''' was one of the greatest players of the '50s and '60s. The 6'9" Hall of Fame forward drafted #2 overall out of LSU began his career in 1954 when the Hawks were still in Milwaukee, averaging a double-double and being named Rookie of the Year. The next season, with the Hawks now in St. Louis, he led the league in [[JackOfAllTrades both scoring and rebounding]] and won the NBA's first official MVP award. He went on to take the Hawks to their only NBA title in '58, won MVP again in '59 after again leading in scoring, and received four All-Star Game MVP awards (a record now shared with Kobe Bryant). In the 1958 Finals, Pettit scored 50 points in the Hawks' series clincher, a feat that wasn't repeated until Giannis Antetokounmpo did it in 2021, and kept the Celtics from an even longer championship streak. Perhaps most notably, he's the only player with 10 or more seasons in the league to be named All-NBA in every season of his career, earning first-team honors every season except his last (1964–65), in which he was on the second team due to injuries that led to his early retirement. He's further the only retired player [[TheAce to ever average over 20 points every season of his career]].[[note]]...besides Alex Groza, who only played two seasons before receiving a lifetime ban.[[/note]] He was the first player to score over 20,000 career points, sits behind only Chamberlain and Russell in career rebounds per game, and the Hawks retired his #9.

* Wayne '''"Tree" Rollins''' was a center who played [[LongRunner 18 seasons]] in the NBA, the first eleven of which were spent with the Atlanta Hawks after he was drafted #14 overall out of Clemson in 1977. Rollins led the NBA in blocks in '83 and remains the franchise leader in the category, though NBA fans likely know him best as the guy who nearly bit Danny Ainge's finger off in a playoff game. He retired in 1995 after already serving as a player-coach and spent the next two decades as an assistant.
