Millsap thanks Hawks fans for helping him grow from 'average Joe' to All-Star

Atlanta will always be near and dear to Paul Millsap's heart.

The power forward is headed to the Denver Nuggets, but as he goes, he took the time to express his gratitude to fans of the Atlanta Hawks.

Tried to find the words to better help explain how much the fans and the city of Atlanta has meant to me but words can not explain it. From an average Joe to a 4 time All ⭐️. Atlanta I could not have done it without you. Thank you for an amazing 4 years! Thank you for embrace me and my family and for always having my back. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. #truetoatlanta #anchormanout #untilnexttime
