Former Hawks quarterback Lou Williams – widely known by his nickname “Lemon Pepper Lou” – publicly expressed support for the partnership during an appearance on FanDuel’s Run It Back. Williams, who previously played in Atlanta and has longstanding ties to the Magic City, presented the collaboration as an authentic reflection of the city’s culture.
His connection to the venue dates back to 2020, when a visit to the Magic City during the NBA Bowl in Orlando led to quarantine protocols and the popularization of his “Lemon Pepper Lou” nickname, referring to the club’s signature wings. Williams later adopted the moniker as part of his personal brand.
Atlanta (30-31) currently sits in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings and enters the promotion on a three-game winning streak. Whether driven by curiosity, cultural significance or social media momentum, the Hawks’ announcement translated into immediate market impact, with demand for tickets surging following the Magic City collaboration.
