The great Gary Neal‘s 10-day contract with the Atlanta Hawks has come and gone. Let us never forget this time, through Twitter’s storytelling.

Gary Neal’s 10-day contract with the Atlanta Hawks expired on January 28th, 2017. During his time, he accumulated 4 points, an assist, and a rebound. A related note: his per-36 stats from the 18th to the 28th were 8 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds on a 100 percent  free throw percentage (8 attempts). This basically means nothing, but his story cannot be forgotten. Let’s allow Twitter to keep Gary Neal’s name alive until the end of time.

“Neal-stradamous”

@YuriyATL404 was an advocate for Neal’s signing when other fans were still breaking down Paul Millsap‘s Atlanta arrival and dissecting Dennis Schroder‘s future fit with the team. @YuriyATL404 predicted this signing nearly four years ago and deserves to be respected for his predictions.
