You would think, but I've heard from more than one person in the know that NBA stars don't consider Atlanta because, and I kid you not, this is where all their side chicks are and they don't want to play that close to the drama.

I've heard this from multiple people as well. Crazy there might actually be some truth to this.

I think Jalen Rose called Atlanta when we're even mildly competitive, "one of the best home court advantages in the NBA." Not necessarily because of our daunting crowds, rather, the players all go out and party the night before games.

Think we beat OKC by 20+ this year. Rose simply got on camera and said, "Just a Buckhead night. Nothing to see here."

Teams that rank near last in attendance and a .59 local tv rating(bottom five in the league) combined with a history that doesn’t include much sustained success rarely sign max free agents . Plus max guys want to be on teams that go well into the luxury tax to win.

It has nothing to do with side pieces. These guys are slamming multiple woman in every city they step foot in.
