About Arthur »

ATL born and bred, Arthur has spent the better part of his 28 years on the front lines, defending the oft-blasphemed sports reputation of the greatest city in America. While in his less wiser days this included regular profanity-laden arguments with uncouth opposing fans (and occasional fisticuffs), these days he is a downright law-abiding gentleman, just another masochistic passenger on the heartbreak rollercoaster that is Atlanta sports fandom.

Arthur-

How are you? My name is Aaron Torres and I am a contributor here at the Bleacher Report.

After watching the Hawks and finding them utterly compelling television, I've been compelled (as a non-fan) to write a huge column on them. Here is the link: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/170397-a-night-of-basketball-with-the-nbas-most-exciting-team-atlanta-hawks

If you like the article, please feel free to share it with friends and the entire Atlanta Hawks community.

Thanks for your time.
