Monday the Hawks held their first official event of the 2009-10 season by hosting the team’s annual media day at Philips Arena. A plethora of TV, radio, and print outlets were on hand to get their first glimpse of the new squad and take their first opportunity to get their take on the season yet to come.

Hawks.com was on the scene to capture the whole multimedia experience, some of which we’ll be posting over the course of the next few weeks as we begin the countdown towards opening night, and some of it we’ll post now. Here you go!

Here too is a photo gallery from the afternoon.

Everyone was all smiles today, but tomorrow the real work gets underway with the first practice of training camp. We’ll be there, twittering all the while, so if you aren’t following us at @atlanta_hawks, you definitely should be!
