Born in Atlanta and raised, internet personality participated in Davis Dods Atlanta Hawks Game in State Farm Arena. Now, he will be part of the NBA schedule release for the first time.
Dods is hosting a 24-hour twitch live stream at the Arena starting at 9 pm on Wednesday to announce Atlanta’s 2025-26 schedule. NBA teams may announce their upcoming season schedule on ET at 3:15 pm on Thursday. This is the first time an NBA team has collaborated with a manufacturer on an all-day live streaming platform.
Hawks CEO Steve Koonin handed over the state farm Arena to Dods on Wednesday at 8:50 pm, and the material manufacturers went for 24 hours.
“First, the adult will be supervised,” Koonin told ESPN on Wednesday. “Second, he is a wonderful person, which we have full faith in and he will feel a little bit of ‘Home Alone’ child in such a giant area at four o’clock in the morning.”
The 25 -year -old Dods, more than one million customers on YouTube, have 700,000 followers on Instagram and reached 10,000 customers last month. It is part of the Content Creation Group AMP, including the popular Internet personality Kai Senat.
He is following a loose agenda for the stream that will be flexible for the final-matches. The content manufacturer said that Atlanta -based Rapper 2 Chanz is set to stop and record a track with dods. Hawks has also waged surprise.

Dods told ESPN, “We are going to be as fun as possible and to show all different elements of the arena.” “Obviously, do a lot of hoops, [a] Sting competition. I think it will move forward rapidly by having as much fun around the bus and as much as possible, because who also stays in an arena for a day? ,
And, most importantly, there is a plan to sleep.
A bedroom has been installed for dodes just behind a basket for sleeping on the stream.
“I personally get out of a little about the idea of gold in the Arena,” KT Dupray told ESPN, director of social media huxe. “But I think it will be at least a good story. But yes, thankfully he worked in the schedule.”
Dupre is part of a group of hooks that will be in the area including members of social media and marketing teams. General building security is also deployed.
But, for the most part, the arena where Tri young Throw lobes are being converted into dods playground.
They have free to visit the locker room to create music or premium space player club for snacks and beverages. Although the concession stands are closed, “lots of food” will be ordered, according to Duprey, including chick-Fil-A for breakfast.
Dods admitted that the volume of space would be a challenge, expressing concern about whether he would be able to get whatever he has planned. Dods – who attained infamous for its NBA 2K content – is familiar with the state farm field. He rented the venue last year for the music video of his track, “4 u” Which had T-pain.
Dupre said it would seem “very true” for a standard Hawks game, but the setup still had difficulties.
Koonin said, “We have a tremendous amount of real estate. More than 700,000 square feet and it is not actually designed for residential occupants,” Koonin said. “So both logically to find out how he can be comfortable and can also produce a 24-hour stream … but for the most part, we are going to leave it for his fertile imagination and can see what comes.”
In a stream of July 29, Dods killed 10,000 customers, when he hosted a 24 -hour stream, he made a deal with his chat and decided as a venue at the state Farm Arena.
He has not hosted a stream for this long time, but once he settled on the idea, Dods approached Hawks to gauge interest. Koonin’s first idea? “Let’s do this.”
“I mean there was no hesitation. I hope I don’t regret that statement,” Koonin jokingly said.
Initially, the franchise discussed the 90-second video, according to Koonin. However, the question is: Why can’t it become something big?
Dupra said that huxe always prefers to work with local content creators, and Dods shared their love for the franchise and made them realize that this was the right time for them to form a team. Not all knew about the platform of the dods, however.
Koonin said, “I was not familiar with that, but I have taken a very intensive square to see a lot of twichs and see my group and talk to people and, their sensitivity I think there is an NBA sensitivity.” “Fun, he is a reverence, he is unique and he is wildly entertaining.”
The idea of Dods inspired Atlanta to hook the schedule release, which Koonin insisted that it had become an NBA holiday.
Once Hawks can announce their schedule, the dodes will exceed just 21 hours in their stream. The schedule of Atlanta will be unveiled sporadically with clues and signals.
Hawks’ social media team is covering the stream like a live game. They will clip highlights and post them on their platforms to increase the stream as much as possible.
It is part of a scheme that continues to build liberal fans.
“He is true for Atlanta like us. His audience is perfect. We are always trying to find new ways to touch with the next generation audience,” Dupre said. “We think Davis’s audience really fits and is perfect.”
