The First Three Selected

The evening of January 22nd, the All-Star voting ceased, and to the chagrin of everyone in Atlanta, not one of the East-leading Hawks was chosen to represent the East.  A week later, many fans feared that the Hawks might only end up with one or two selections.  That evening came, and the results were in:  three Hawks had been chosen to the East bench reserves:  Al Horford, Paul Millsap, and Jeff Teague.   Immediately the congratulations came in.

Kent Bazemore took to Twitter almost immediately after the announcement:

DeMarre was next to recognize Kyle:

Kyle's trip companion Jeff Teague went next:

And fellow All-star Al Horford wrapped up the night:

It will be great to see four Hawks representing Atlanta in the All-star Game!  Go Hawks!
