Before John Collins was a first-round NBA Draft pick, he was a soccer fan.
“I’m a huge soccer fan, I try to watch as much as I can of the leagues that are available in America. I’ve been a Chelsea supporter for a long time, so yeah a huge soccer fan.”
A Wake Forest alum, Collins was able to get a little taste of what Atlanta had to offer attending school just a few hours down the road. But when he was drafted by the Hawks, his life changed forever. Atlanta was now his home, and he quickly learned what made it so special.
