My favorite quote

Yup!

I like this one from Cam too:

Quote

 

“I’m not gonna say I’m not as confident as he is; I’m just saying you can see his,” small forward Cam Reddish says. “He’s coming down three times in a row. ‘I’m gonna let this jawn go because I’m feeling it,’ like, that’s confidence. And I think that rubs off on everybody. Oh, he feeling it? We all feeling it

Pretty cool to see Trae on an SI cover.

Story author was on the radio today.  Sounds like he wanted only Trae on the cover, got vetoed. 

Spoke very high of the Hawks, potential.

'They' can't let that happen - not when he was supposed to be a bust.  Trae has left a lots of them with ostrich size eggs on their face.  They still have recovered.

An interesting guy makes an appearance with a bag of ice around the :50 mark ...

And if you're into dudes that identify more with the Rockets than Hawks, check out the 1:35 mark.

Trae Young hoped he could change his time slot shooting the NBA’s 75th anniversary commercial, with a potential schedule conflict later on. 

But, which NBA icon filming that day would he trade with? No way was he asking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Oscar Robertson.  “Everybody who was there was legends. … We were like, ‘That can’t happen,’” Young remembered with a laugh.

So his slot stayed the same, beginning just as Magic Johnson’s ended. On his way out, Johnson walked over to Young’s set: “You did your thing, man. That playoff was stupid. I want some more of that, all right?” Young smiled and said, “Yes, sir.”

 

Quote

“Really, I’ve just got to continue to remain myself,” Young said of the spotlight. “I’m not going to switch up on anybody. I’m the same person, and I’m going to continue to be the same person. I’m always a hardworking person, somebody who’s all for their teammates and all about winning. So my mind-set doesn’t change, whatever’s going on. I always have a clear view of what’s important and what needs to happen. ... I’m very thankful for everything I’ve been doing, and I’m excited that I’m not only representing myself but I’m representing Atlanta while I’m doing it. I’m obviously always aware of what I’m doing and who I’m doing it for.”

 

“I definitely feel the expectations are a lot higher,” Young said. “They should be. They should be, especially for the people in the city. People in Atlanta deserve a team to go out and win every night, or is supposed to have a chance to compete every night. They should want that. And I hope everybody’s expectations are high. I don’t want them to be low. That’s not I want or anybody on the team wants. I hope around the city, it’s high. I hope around the country, it gets even higher.

“We’ve got a lot to prove still. … We didn’t win it all. So that’s kind of my mind-set. We made it to the Eastern Conference finals, but that’s not the furthest I want to go. So I’m not satisfied. And nobody’s expectations on our team are going to be higher than mine.”

Quote

Young riled up crowds and used it to his advantage, and has shown he thrives in the spotlight.

“He should,” veteran guard Lou Williams said. “He’s very talented. He has the opportunity to lead a franchise. He’s very young. There’s nothing not to be excited about and not to embrace. He doesn’t play for the Knicks. He doesn’t play for the Sixers. So they should hate him. He was kicking their (expletive). It is what it is. And he’s embraced that, and he’s been a hero in Atlanta.”

It makes sense why Young (wearing a Hawks hoodie) went back to Madison Square Garden to ham it up for WWE. A fierce competitor, he also can be the ultimate performer and appreciates a big stage no matter what.

“I’m the type of person to have fun and be in the moment and live in the moment, and who knows, this moment may never come again,” Young said. “So I had to do it. It was fun. I know a lot of them were booing and a lot of stuff was going on, but it was actually crazy, there were a lot of cheers, too. I heard a couple people from Atlanta in the crowd yelling. But it was a lot of boos, too. It was fun. I love doing that type of stuff. It’s all entertainment.”

I agree.  And, if I'm not mistaken, I don't think I saw Luka.
