Two of the NBA awards were handed out already and none of them went to any Atlanta Hawks, but some of them were close as were a few former Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

In the 6th Man Award, San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili won.  Coming in 3rd was former Hawk Jason Terry.  In 6th place was current Hawk Josh Childress.  In 15th place was former Georgia signee Louis Williams and in 16th was former Georgia Tech player Jarrett Jack.

Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett won the Defensive Player of the Year Award.  Hawk Josh Smith was 6th and former SW Atlanta Christian Academy stud Dwight Howard was 8th.
