Who is the Atlanta United fan?
Josh Okogie is the one athlete on the list, an NBA player whose status reads Utah Jazz. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reported the fandom, and the outlet carries the line "I've been following them since." The tier is Reported, so the source is the AJC's account rather than something Okogie is shown saying himself.
Where does his Atlanta connection come from?
Okogie was born September 1, 1998, in Lagos, Nigeria. He went to Shiloh High School in Snellville, Georgia, which puts him in the Atlanta area during his school years. His NBA career runs through the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns, Charlotte Hornets, Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz, none of them an Atlanta team, so the tie to the city comes from Georgia and not from any of his pro stops.
