Top 10 Greatest Shooters in Atlanta Hawks History
By Nile Goodwyn
10. Mike Bibby
Points per game (as a Hawk): 11.7
3-PT FG% (as a Hawk): 39.7%
Mike Bibby isn’t necessarily remembered as a Hawk, as he spent most of his prime years in Sacramento. But upon his arrival in Atlanta in 2008, he instantly brought his shooting to a team desperate for a point guard. Bibby fit the bill, and helped the Hawks reach four consecutive playoff berths while he was there.
He also racked up 475 three-pointers, which places him 7th in the Hawks’ history book. Bibby hit at least one three-pointer in 224 games, out of a possible 277, which shows the consistency that he brought on a nightly basis for the Hawks.
While never elite, Bibby was a constant playmaker for the Hawks, and his solid three-point shooting earned him a spot on this prestigious list. Bonus points for shooting a career-high 86.1% from the free throw line in 2009-10.
