NBA fans roasted the Hawks for this unnecessarily steamy ‘OnlyFans’ parody video

NBA Hawks OnlyFans the Atlanta Hawks

Somebody check on the Atlanta Hawks. They might need a cold shower.

The NBA has been plugging promo after promo to get fans excited for its new in-season tournament. That includes a movie-style trailer that involved players like Draymond Green, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis, and Trae Young. The league also unveiled special edition courts that teams will use for each tournament game.

All was well until the Atlanta Hawks dropped their promo Thursday that unraveled the internet. In less than 30 minutes, the team’s social media mentions were filled with thousands of NBA fans who were confused about why they were viewing unhinged “OnlyFans” content.

Only Hawks Fans know where the real action is 👀
