What seemed like a typical night in Atlanta turned into a scene worthy of a movie when an Atlanta Hawks fan unleashed a fight that no one saw coming. In an unusual display of strength and stamina, the fan, who was wearing a classic Stacey Augmon T-shirt, was caught twirling another man by the hair, “helicopter” style.
The fight took place near Bulldogs Bar, just minutes from State Farm Arena, adding a surreal touch to the Hawks’ game night.
These types of street confrontations are usually something unusual to see, but the element of surprise, coupled with the obvious anger after the Hawks’ recent loss, caused the images of the fight to quickly go viral.
Many fans on social media couldn’t believe their eyes: a “human helicopter” spinning in the middle of the crowd.
On the court, the Hawks’ situation hasn’t been easy either. After the loss to the Celtics, their 3-5 record leaves them in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, with their season looking increasingly uncertain.
Jayson Tatum and the rest of the Boston team taught a lesson on the court, leaving the Hawks with more questions than answers.
However, with many games to go, fans are hoping the team can find its groove, before the discontent continues to spread.
