The Spun – Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams insists he only went to Atlanta strip club Magic City to pick up wings, and judging by the pictures, he might be telling the truth.
In what is one of the more amazing on-the-ground reporting assignments we’ve seen, The Athletic Hawks beat writer Chris Kirschner ventured to the legendary Magic City on Monday to see if the wings really are as good as Williams and this random person on Yelp say they are.
The verdict: a resounding yes. Kirschner’s entire profile of Magic City, which includes background on Atlanta’s strip club food culture and his personal review of the lemon pepper wings, is worth a read.
Yesterday, the Clippers’ Lou Williams had to defend himself from a salvo shot his way from ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins over his “unprofessional” temporary NBA bubble exit. And while that proved to be an easy 10-8 round for Lou Williams, you can always use a little support in these times of need. And that’s where these visits to Magic City come in.

You can see The Athletic’s Chris Kirschner’s piece here where he samples the Magic City wings. He also tweeted out this awe-inspiring pic with a simple explanation about why the wings are so good:
I spent a few hours in Magic City yesterday and totally understand why @TeamLou23 wanted wings from a strip club.
“It’s the magic, baby” is what I learned makes their wings so special.
Tropikal Delite gave me a recommendation for next time, too.https://t.co/CcV1iwrlmd pic.twitter.com/J75TA4Ddhs

Athlete manager Zach Soskin also went viral for this food blogger quality pic of his visit for the strip club wings:

Almost definitely more worth catching COVID than playing the Marlins.
It’s hard to fully appreciate wings from a photo. But there’s clearly a lot going for these wings independent of the naked ladies — nay, performing artists — that may come as a side dish.
And now Lou Williams can forever be apart of the wings’ lore. The restaurant officially dubbed their Lemon Pepper BBQ wings the “Louwill”:
When you’ve got wings named after you at the most famous and infamous strip clubs in America, you know you’ve accomplished something in life. James Harden is crestfallen after presumably only getting an extremely rare venereal disease named after him from similar experiences.
