The Atlanta Hawks\u2019 controversial \u201cMagic City Monday\u201d<\/a> is getting support from a man who knows the club — and the wings — better than most: former NBA star Lou Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former Hawks guard famously got busted visiting the legendary strip club<\/a> during the NBA\u2019s COVID bubble in 2020 \u2026 and now the three-time Sixth Man of the Year is weighing in on the team\u2019s controversial plan to celebrate the iconic ATL spot at an upcoming game.<\/p>\n

Not everyone is thrilled about the NBA franchise linking up with the famed gentlemen\u2019s club — but Lou tells TMZ Sports<\/a> disagreements are part of the deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s about ATL, it’s about the Hawks, it’s about Magic (City), so shout out to all parties involved,\u201d Williams said. \u201cEverybody won’t be happy about everything. I think it’s an opportunity for everybody to be educated on things that they agree with and things that they don’t agree with.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that everyone is entitled to their personal beliefs and it isn\u2019t his place to tell them whether they\u2019re right or wrong.<\/p>\n

One topic Lou had zero hesitation about, though: the wings. No surprise since he has a signature flavor — LouWill Lemon Pepper BBQ.<\/p>\n

Magic City\u2019s wings became part of NBA lore during the 2020 bubble when Williams briefly left the Disney campus to attend a family member\u2019s viewing — and grabbed dinner at the club with Jack Harlow<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Lou, the obsession with wings is just part of Atlanta culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our city, we eat wings. That’s what we do,\u201d he said. \u201cI got a flavor in Magic and a couple other places in the city so that’s what it’s turned into.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also shouted out another spot where fans can get his flavor.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo yeah, shout out to Magic City. Shout out to Buffalo Wild Wings. Do good business,\u201d Williams said. \u201cAt Buffalo Wild Wings, I do the Lemon Pepper Hot. At Magic, I do the LouWill Lemon Pepper.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Magic City\u2019s wings are on the menu, Lou Will says the city already knows what time it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lou Williams Backs Hawks\u2019 Magic City Night \u2026 Lemon Pepper Wings And All Published March 6, 2026 12:30…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":642849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3776],"tags":[676,208,3874,7,677,6,67,66,83,2228],"class_list":{"0":"post-642848","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-atlanta-hawks","8":"tag-atlanta","9":"tag-atlanta-hawks","10":"tag-atlantahawks","11":"tag-basketball","12":"tag-hawks","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-sports-news","17":"tag-tmz-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116181511823883651","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
