Atlanta Hawks and 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' team up Nov. 3

Posted Tuesday, October 31, 2017 by RODNEY HO/rho@ajc.com on his AJC Radio & TV Talk blog

Four of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" are attending the Atlanta Hawks game Friday against the Houston Rockets as part of a promotion two days before the 10th season debut of the still popular Bravo show.

Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore and Shereé Whitfield will meet-and-greet lucky contest winners, preview an exclusive show teaser and take over the team's Instagram during the Hawks' third home game of the season. Absent: Porsha Williams and returning cast member NeNe Leakes. (Phaedra Parks is no longer part of the cast and Kim Zolciak returns on the show only on a part-time basis.)

Ryan Cameron, who has handled play-by-play duties at home games for many years, is giving away meet-and-greet tickets on his V-103 morning show this week.

“The Hawks and Philips Arena hold a special place in my heart,” said Burruss in a press release. “Not only am I a Hawks season ticket member, but my group Xscape will be performing in the arena on New Year’s Eve!”
