All for one, one for all: Part II - Atlanta Hawks

Well, here it is! The first team of the series - the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks have it rough this year, recently losing essentially all of their talent in Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, and Jamal Crawford. Well, at least they still have Elton Brand. They might have to use a wheelchair to get him from game to game, but he's there.

All jokes aside, the Hawks have a reasonable amount of young talent in Paul Millsap, Al Horford, and Jeff Teague. And they have Kyle Korver, who manages to set some sort of strange record every now and then.

Anyways, lets get to the shoes. Fun part, right?

Though at first their colors of navy and cardinal seem a little outlandish, but then I thought about Team USA. So easy, a caveman could do it.

My pick is the Nike Air More Uptempo "Olympic", which Scottie Pippen wore in the 1996 games. Nothing like this shoe in the world.

The Jordan VII "Olympic" and VI "Olympic" get the honorable mentions, the reason they didn't take the cake is that this list will have plenty of Jordans; I like mixing it up, and that the gold accents of the VII don't fit perfectly to the Hawks colors.

Good thing there's four more teams with the same colors. I have a lot of other picks.
