There were a few silver lining for the Atlanta Hawks this week. For one, the Hawks aren’t the worst team in the league considering they managed to win a couple of games. This is a long season and a good reminder that this is a young roster still trying to find their footing.
With that in mind, the good folks at ESPN puts Atlanta at No. 27 in this week’s power rankings.
Vince Carter, 42, will play in his 1,500th career game on Tuesday at Miami in his 22nd season. Only four players in NBA history have appeared in 1,500 games, including Robert Parish (1,611), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,560), Dirk Nowitzki (1,522) and John Stockton (1,504).
