Last night on Facebook, long-time Atlanta Hawks announcer Steve Holman Sr. posted a photo of himself with Young Jeezy. I asked facetiously that he post a photo gallery of himself with various hip-hop legends.
Surprisingly, he actually obliged. He said in an interview today that usually he gets time with the artists when they are performing that day during half time and tries to nab a photo as well.
"Those guys are some of our best supporters," said Holman, who has covered the Hawks for 33 years. "They're around all the time." He said 2 Chainz and Jeezy have been the most ardent fans showing up at games this season.
Here are others photos he provided on his Facebook page, mostly taken by his engineer Eric Davis:
