Today, Atlanta welcomes the fourth player member of their Team Honor Ring, The Gold Club. Antonio Daniels was a member of the Hawks for seven seasons. You will best remember him as the extremely capable backup point guard on their three title teams who later emerged as an All-Star caliber starter after the departure of God Shammgod. Daniels will fondly be remembered as the first member of the Hawks franchise, taken first from Harlem on expansion waivers following JHB's return to TMBSL in the 2019 offseason. Despite being the ultimate team player who spent most of his career as a backup, he is among the greatest in TMBSL history in free throw shooting and assist to turnover ratio. He will always have a soft spot in the heart of Atlanta faithful!

At a Glance
- Was the first member of the post-contraction Hawks franchise, selected on expansion waivers from the Harlem Globetrotters

- One of the all-time great floor generals in TMBSL history, retiring third all-time in total assist to turnover ratio trailing only Nick Van Exel and God Shammgod
- One of the greatest pure shooters in TMBSL history, retiring 11th all-time in free throw percentage
- Despite being a backup the majority of his career, he retires 46th all-time in career assists
- Produced 69 total win shares (nice) in his career, good for a career WS/48 mark of .186; his .197 WS/48 mark in his last three years in the league as a starter ranked 32nd best in the league in that time frame
