The NBA Team Atlanta Hawks set’s a remarkable record in NBA History, as All their starting five named the Eastern Conference Best player’s of the Month, for the month of January.
The Atlanta Starting Five which named Eastern Conference Best player’s of the Month, are Center Al Horford, Power forward Paul Millsap, Small forward DeMarre Carroll, Shooting guard Kyle Korver and Point guard Jeff Teague.
Being named as Best player’s of the Month with more than one player is nothing new in NBA, there are some teamates that shared the same award that happen in the past NBA season like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade did in the Miami Heat in December of 2010, the Dallas Mavericks trio of Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Michael Finley got a three-way split of the Western Best Player’s of the conference in November of 2002 and Boston Celtics stars Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker who also shared the award in December of 2001 .
But definitely this one is an impressive one a record of undefeated for the moth of January with 17-0 and with the hawks all starting five sharing the Eastern Conference Best player’s of the Month, what a great achievement for the team, this could be a long way to break this record.
This only prove that sometime’s a team might not need an NBA superstar? With the likes of LeBron James or Kevin Durant, but with the Hawks equally divided talent and a great coaching you can still achieve what the Atlanta Hawks team achieve.
I hope that they keep up the pace till the Playoff time, were it matter most.
For now, the Atlanta sit at the top of the Eastern Conference Standing with 41 win – 9 loss, with a best franchise record of 19 winning streak after they suffered and ended their streak in the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans.
