It used to be that all you needed to do was stop by a florist, grab a dozen or so roses and a box of chocolates, and $100 later show up early to pick her up for dinner. Those days, well, actually those days are still around to be honest with you. However, if you're creative, you can use Facebook and other social media to go public. I know what I'm about to tell you is a bit controversial.

The NBA is an ever changing league. While there are some legendary teams and franchises that have put their stamp on the sport, there are up and coming teams that seem to be making a name for themselves. One of these optimistic teams is that of the Atlanta Hawks. The Atlantic Hawks are a professional men's basketball team located in Atlanta, Georgia. They play in the Southeast Division against other top teams that are found in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association. The Hawks have been around for quite some time and have really molded throughout the years. They first entered the National Basketball league as the Buffalo Bisons in 1946, but were moved to the city of Moline, Illinois only 13 games into their first season.
