Strangest/Funniest moment of the Hawks 08-09 season not involving a bird

The final installment of the trilogy of posts looking back on last season. Ok so maybe they do not have enough muster to be called a trilogy. Part III? Still to much.....fine, this is section three of Hawks memory lane.
I am actually most excited about this one because we might hear stories we never knew about. Anything funny, weird, or abnormally memorable will meet the standards. Think deep. I expect some true revelations out of this one. And in case you skip the title of posts, no out of control, flying Hawk stories. I was there. It was weird. We lost.
My winner comes from the Celtics game that was hyped like a Liston/Ali fight complete with a Ludacris concert medley following the game.It was a rowdy crowd. I was genuinely nervous before hand. I even bought nose bleed seats and recruited three friends who were semi Hawk fans to come along to prove that Phillips could actually be loud. It was a complete indoctrination experience.
Well, my normal partner in Hawk crimes was not in the nose bleeds. He had to return a favor and I was booted from the season tickets. Which means this story is only second hand. But it is too good to not relay. John always sneaks into the bathroom under the club level. We know the ushers, and they turn the other way. So he walked up to the urinal to do what he needed to do and could not help but notice Hungry like a Wolf by Duran Duran was serenading the bathroom over the speaker. He also could not help but notice that Ludacris himself had sauntered up next to him. My friend paused, thinking about what to do next, and then calmly leaned over and referencing the 80s pop icon of a song said, "Sounds like a Ludicrous song huh?" Words were grumbled and in the end, Luda's bodyguard aggressively kindly firmly asked my friend to leave the public bathroom.
In my book, anything that happens during a Hawks season that even remotely resembles a scene from Hustle & Flow is good enough for my top slot.
Runner up:
The time Mario West missed a breakaway dunk and hung on the rim to put it back in there by garnering a technical.
Second runner up:
This kiss cam....
Third runner-up
"Heat check." -Dominique Wilkins
What is weirdest, funniest, idiosyncratic-est moment from last season? Best story will win my deepest gratitude and a champagne toast in three years when I drink champagne again.

hmmmmmm
Watching the games on Sports South is always a treat. Besides Nique and his “heat checks” there is also the agony of watching The Stinger run down his Star Player of the Game. He and the producers are never together. When he says, “Give me my stars on the screen”…they never appear until well after he’s started his spill. The producers must work on their timing. It’s painful to watch. Although it is quite funny .
Either someone dropped a stink bomb or we had a sewer issue, but it smelled like raw sewage during one of the games. I think it was during the Hornets game at the end of the regular season. At first I thought my boyfriend had had way too many nachos and peppers. Then I realized that everybody was smelling what I was smelling. Very weird.
i remember that!
wasnt behind the hornets bench? i blame chris paul.
speaking of which, another one of my top moments, the acie law butt slap (good game) mid game while defending cp3. and then paul arguing that it was a foul and the ref saying no it was “a good game.”
It was either the
Cleveland or Boston game from December when the junior Hawk mascot came up and dunked on the little plastic hoop but just sort of ran through the hoop in a cute way. Do they do that one a lot?

Best moments
Even though it didn’t happen as much as other years, but every time Josh Smith comes out of nowhere to block a shot and put it in the 5th row. It’s hilarious, hope he continues to block more, It’s good to have a good laugh during hawks games.
The best Josh block of the year was---
on Delonte West—-freestyle about your jump shot landing in the mezzanine, DWest!
Funny how much of a resemblance that bears to a moment which could have been really bad

If we had lost that game, it would have the worst 11 seconds in the history of the Atlanta Hawks.
Now that it's the offseason.....
Now that it’s the offseason I can laugh about this…..but hearing a collective groan from the home crowd when Josh throws up a 3 point brick it hilarious!!! I’m sure the visiting team has not idea what’s going on.
My favorite moment of the season
Was in a game thread. Who’d have thought?
One of the regular visitors made this comment.
“If I have a heart attack, don’t call an ambulance, call Hot Flip.”
I’ll remember that one a long time. It was another of those unbelievable scoring outbursts by Flip, obviously, which inspired that comment, but I can’t even recall which game.
i guess the age old saying "once you have had 'Hot flip' you dont go back"
is in fact untrue.
sad. i have made many a life decisions based on that very phrase.
In the words of Mike Woodson
He’s was such a big part of what we do here. How many times can you use this one phrase in reference to every single player on your team?
