Levenson, who self-admitted the e-mail stated he plans to sell his stake in the team and if you were hoping to find out more about the businessman before he left the organization, well, you’re out of luck. At least that’s the case if you were attempting to check out Levenson’s biography on the Atlanta Hawks’ website.
The page has been removed by the Hawks’ web team and replacing it is….any guesses?
How about former Atlanta Hawks player Dikembe Mutombo emphatically blocking a shot.
Yep, if that’s what you pulled out of thin air, can you also give my my lotto ticket numbers?
Now, it doesn’t appear as if the Levenson page was created on purpose because if you go to any incorrect or invalid page on the Atlanta Hawks’ website you’ll get the same redirect which has a .GIF of Dikembe Mutombo swatting a shot with the words ‘NO NO NO!’ (Deke’s famous line) in bold font with “Your attempt has been BLOCKED! Double check your URL, or return to Hawks.com” placed under the image.
I’m guessing the Hawks may decide to change this in the relatively near future so check it while you can or have a gander below.
The e-mail isn’t the only thing that currently has the Atlanta Hawks organization under fire as a racist scouting report for then free agent Luol Deng (currently of the Miami Heat) has also emerged.
