Trae Young - The Man, The Viper, and The Prosecution aka The MVP aka Ice Trae

[Thomas]

The smallest guy on the court just did this. Pretty serious company there. F***ing amazing.

Young became the second player in NBA history to score 30 points in each of his first four career playoff road games. He joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the 1970 Milwaukee Bucks

Saw that on the telecast. They put that Lew Al record up. Trae is slaying.

To say it is stunning is understating what he is doing. He is a 22 year old pg in the biggest setting and he is not fazed in the least. By the way I do now have three Hawk jerseys.

You nailed it. Maybe the best 45 bucks I have spent in a long, long time.

When do we start talking best 6’1” under players? All time? Playoff runs? (With what he did to the Knicks and what he’s currently doing, it has to be up there).

Isiah 89...90.?

Kevin Johnson 89

Calvin Murphy which years? 
 

Iverson 2001? Other years?

 

 

 

Tell me when to go big T!

Takes like this are the reason why the media is so subdued right now. They're salty about having to walk back all the BS narratives they came up with to discredit this kid's achievements. I'm hearing more about what the 76ers need to do to contain Trae than the #5 seed beating the #1 seed on the road. I'm enjoying watching these guys eat those narratives. I'm also noticing the online trolls are mighty quiet out there as well.

It's pathetic, and more than anything it has to do with southern bias IMO. Atlanta Hawks could win 10 championships in a row and all you'dd hear is stories about how the Celtics and Russell were better.

Trae Young improvement from Feb to now is amazing. I am super happy as a Hawks fan.

Can you imagine if Trae played for New York? He'd already be bigger than Lebron.

Just in case you're curious, here was their entire list:

Their rationale was that this was their ranking based on their future potential.

In other words, they had to justify why they had LaMelo Ball at #3, over established NBA All-Stars and star players.

 

1. Luka Doncic
2. Zion Williamson
3. LaMelo Ball
4. Donovan Mitchell
5. Jayson Tatum
6. De’Aaron Fox
7. Ben Simmons
8. Devin Booker
9. Bam Adebayo
10. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
11. Brandon Ingram
12. Jaylen Brown
13. Jamal Murray
14. Michael Porter Jr.
15. Ja Morant
16. Trae Young
17. Mikal Bridges
18. Domantas Sabonis
19. Anthony Edwards
20. Deandre Ayton
21. Tyrese Haliburton
22. John Collins
23. Jarrett Allen
24. Lonzo Ball
25. Collin Sexton
