The Atlanta Hawks’ idea of running an “OnlyFans” style promo with their mascot this week isn’t sitting well with at least two of their players … who took to social media on Thursday to hilariously drag the team over the vid.
The clip was dropped by the NBA org on its social media pages early Thursday morning to promote ATL’s involvement in the league’s new in-season tournament.
It featured Harry the Hawk seductively posing on a bed in his ATL gear … while a woman whispered about Atlanta fans “knowing where the real action is.”

“Hawks fans know just where to get it,” the woman said in the video. “Join in and wake up your wild side.”
Some found the footage funny — but others, including Atlanta stars Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, didn’t exactly love it.
“MANNNNNNN,” Murray wrote on his X page while sharing the video, “DELETE THIS S***!!!!!!!’
Added Young, “I had no part of this.. 🤦♂️.”
Despite the backlash, the Hawks have kept the video up … and seem hell-bent on using the clip to get fans ready to watch their first in-season tourney game on Nov. 14 against the Detroit Pistons.
