Atlanta Hawks (3-12): John Collins posters

Hawks fans, just watch this video on repeat:

Maybe throw this one in too:

And let’s not forget Summer League, however meaningless it can be:

You know what, give it a few days. I’m sure John Collins will give you some more content to work with.

I’m sorry, but that’s all I’ve got for you. The Hawks are truly terrible, on paper and on the court, but Collins is a reason to tune in every night.

Not because he’s been one of the best rookies so far this season (he has). Not because he oozes potential as a big man in a rapidly shrinking league (he does).

Tune in because he is capable of dunking a man’s soul right out of his body in any given game.

Hawks fans had better hope he’s catching bodies every night, or it could be a long season.
