Lou Hudson earned the nickname Sweet Lou from the sheer elegance of his offensive game — every movement seemed effortless, every shot seemed inevitable, earning the respect of opponents and teammates who witnessed it nightly.
He averaged 20+ points per game in six separate NBA seasons, a mark of consistency that makes him one of the most reliable scorers in franchise history despite playing in an era with limited statistical attention.
Hudson played eleven of his thirteen NBA seasons exclusively in the St. Louis and Atlanta Hawks organization — a loyalty to a single franchise that defined his professional identity and cemented his legend in Atlanta.
In 2023, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inducted Hudson through the Veterans Committee — a long-overdue recognition of a career that had been undervalued in the decades following his retirement.
