In Dom Webber’s article you learned that Joe Johnson won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month. He is 15th in the NBA in scoring this season averaging 21.6 points per game. He also leads the Hawks in that category, which is not surprising. At the end of the season, he will have led the Hawks in scoring for 4 straight seasons. But he is not the only Hawk to do that…

Here are players that have led the Atlanta Hawks in scoring for 4 or more straight seasons…

  • Lou Hudson: 1968-73 (5 seasons)
  • John Drew: 1974-81 (7 seasons)
  • Dominique Wilkins: 1983-91 (8 seasons)
  • Steve Smith: 1995-99 (4 seasons)

and after this season add Joe Johnson to that list…
