NBA Lockout Starts, Now What: Hawks Player Edition

by Del

So in honor of the NBA Lockout I have decided to find some alternative career options for my Atlanta Hawks while they wait for the lockout to end. Unemployment sucks,  sometimes you have to get creative to find a new gig.

Al Horford – Real Estate Agent or Media Production Assistant for Univision or Professional Model

Zaza Pachulia – Personal Stylist/Personal Shopper or Host at Buckhead Bottle Bar or TV Fashion Critic

Joe Johnson - Andretti Indoor Karting and Games Attendant or Tour Guide of Joe Johnson’s House or “Club” Owner or Luxury Car Salesman

Josh Smith - Hype Man for Local Atlanta Artists or BET Intern or Club Promoter

Marvin Williams – Hip Hop Music Video Dancer or Grocery Store Bagger

Kirk Hinrich – Sem-Pro Golfer or Community Events Organizer

Jeff Teague – Atlanta Dream’s Newest Mascot or Professional Video Game Tester

Jamal Crawford - Seattle Public Schools Board Member or Voice Over Actor

Josh Powell - Waffle House Waiter or Full Time Planker

Jason Collins – Human Statue Mime outside of Philips Arena or Math Teacher/Tutor

Etan Thomas – Inspirational Speaker or Poet or Black History Professor

Damien Wilkins – Full Time Author

Pape Sy – Euroleague Basketball Player*

Magnum Rolle – Professional Tweeter

Hilton Armstrong - Paralegal

Keith Benson – Youtube Video Blogger

Don’t take this too seriously. Laugh. Smile. The Lockout is only a real lockout if the NBA and NBPA don’t get it together by October/November.
