i'm watching the knicks play the hawks in atlanta. it's their home debut for this season. and hawks have gone all out. they had a laser light show, cheerleaders, a drumline and a video package for their new tagline for the season - "the highlight factory".
and, in what i thought was a really nice touch, they had the players come down from the stands, step by step, to show with the fans that they were one with them, and they're gonna represent them this season.
sounds great, right?
well, whoops.
in what was hilarious and embarassing at the same time, the players made their way down to the court, step by step, through rows and rows of empty seats. a whole section empty. and it wasn't just that section. it was everywhere.
i can honestly say there were more cheerleaders lined up than there were actual fans.
i'm guessing no more than 15 fans. tops. for the season opener for their professional basketball team.
it was, in two words, purely atlanta.
