The Atlanta Hawks are squeaking their way through the playoffs at the moment, but their lack of domination hasn't quelled the excitement among fans.
At Wednesday' sell-out at Philips Arena, ATL native Ludacris made several appearances - before, during and after the game -- to add to the vibe of hometown pride.
Ludacris helped Ryan Cameron (check out Rodney Ho's story about Cameron here) with player introductions at the start of the game.
Halftime brought Luda back to center court - eventually, after making his way down from the back of the arena near the RED restaurant/bar -- where he performed "Stand Up" and was joined by Jermaine Dupri for their early 2000s hit, "Welcome to Atlanta."
