Jazz mock Hawks for misspelling Paul Millsap’s name on jersey
A couple of days ago, Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons was spotted on the court wearing a jersey with his last name spelled “Drummund” on the back. On Wednesday, it was Atlanta Hawks forward Paul Millsap who suffered a similar misfortune. In Millsap’s case, one “l” was missing.
As luck would have it, the Utah Jazz were in town to take on the Hawks. This is noteworthy because Millsap spent the first seven years of his NBA career with Utah. Since the opportunity presented itself, the Jazz took the opportunity to have a little fun with their former player’s new employer by posting the following tweet:

The Hawks responded the best way you probably can under the circumstances, by having a little fun with it.
Paul MiLsap. Paul MiLLsap. It really doesn't matter right now.

While this was going on in the world of social media, Millsap was busy dropping 30 points, grabbing 17 rebounds, and helping his team to a 100-97 victory. With results like those, I’m sure the Hawks wouldn’t mind if that Milsap No. 4 jersey made it’s way onto the floor again.
