ATLANTA (AP) 鈥� The Atlanta Hawks have a bit of an unusual promotion planned for March 16: They’re paying tribute to Magic City, the city’s famed adult entertainment club.
To celebrate the 鈥渋conic cultural institution,鈥� the Hawks a planning a night filled with food 鈥� including the club’s famous lemon pepper wings 鈥� along with music and exclusive merchandise.
The opponent that night? The Orlando Magic, of course.
鈥淭his collaboration and theme night is very meaningful to me after all the work that we did to put together 鈥橫agic City: An American Fantasy鈥�,鈥� Hawks principal owner, filmmaker and actor Jami Gertz said. 鈥淭he iconic Atlanta institution has made such an incredible impact on our city and its unique culture.鈥�
Gertz was one of the producers of a five-part STARZ docuseries, 鈥楳agic City: An American Fantasy鈥� that explored the club’s history and its place in both hip-hop and Black culture. The Hawks are also bringing in Atlanta native T.I. to perform at halftime, and there will be a special live pregame recording of a podcast about the club and impact it has on music, culture and sports.
Magic City will be serving two versions of the lemon pepper wings, including the ones named for former Hawks guard Lou Williams.
Said T.I.: “We doin鈥� this one for the city … Magic City.鈥�
