At this moment, only four members of the Atlanta Hawks have been immortalized with retired numbers that hang from the rafters at Philips Arena. Dominique Wilkins (No. 21), Bob Pettit (No. 9), Lou Hudson (23), and Dikembe Mutombo (No. 55) are the four players who have been given the honor and, now, Chris Vivlamore of the AJC brings word that Pete Maravich (No. 44) will join them in the near future. On the surface, this may seem like a run of the mill gesture, but it actually could (or even should) mean quite a bit for two contemporary Atlanta Hawks stars in Joe Johnson and Al Horford.
