- Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) November 03, 2011 - Atlanta Hawks' Damien Wilkins will bring together an all-star lineup for his Monster Slam Exhibition Game at Clark Atlanta University, located at 223 James P.

All of the proceeds from the pro style exhibition game will support the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta.
As the lockout continues with no deal in sight, Wilkins decided to organize the game to give Atlanta fans a much needed dose of professional basketball. The level of the players' commitment to the fans and surrounding community is evident in the overwhelming response to Damien's invitation. The players understand the void fans feel as a result of the ongoing dispute and are taking action to fill it through exhibition games. "You don't have to wait until the season to see NBA-caliber ball", said the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Hawks' columnist, Michael Cunningham.
Other participating players include Anthony Morrow (Nets), Chris Wilcox (Pistons), Derrick Favors (Jazz), DJ White (Bobcats), James Harden (Thunder), Jarrett Jack (Hornets), Jeff Green (Celtics), Jeff Teague (Hawks), Joe Johnson (Hawks), Jonny Flynn (Rockets), Jordan Crawford (Wizards), Josh Smith (Hawks), Lou Williams (76er's), Mike Beasley (Timberwolves), Shannon Brown (Lakers) and Trey Thompkins (Clippers)
