Trae Young, Ja Morant, Luka Doncic, and Devin Booker.

These are four young superstars that are emerging in the playoffs.  It's one thing for these guys to do this on bad teams.  It's another to be dominating the way they are in playoff settings.  The teams that have these players have bright futures, as they are emerging as the elite players at their positions in the league.  It's fun to watch this.  

The league can't get off LeBron James's jock strap long enough to market these young players properly either.  

I said it last year, but Trae and Ja are the best two young point guards in the league, and they will set the standard at that position in the NBA for the foreseeable future.

Ironic that the same people that say Trae Young is "insufferable" because of his style of play are the usual Lebron jock strap riders when it's Lebron that's out there trying to win an emmy with his flopping basically every single game he plays.

Yeah.  I'm sure everyone has seen the meme, but LeBron flopped around and really put on a show after getting poked in the eye.  He stayed down for 80 seconds.  Kevin Pillar got hit in the face by a 95 mph fastball, was bleeding profusely, and was down for 36 seconds.

I am LeBron fan and I love Trae Young. Most Trae haters are just clown ass bitches and some are just Lukastans.

The whole time he was out there he was saying "I can't see... I can't see". After he hit the shot he looked at Curry and said "I can't see. I'm blind". Dude is the king of clowns and the NBA will pick up popularity again the moment the NBA stops polishing his johnson 24/7 and starts putting on some spotlight on the emerging stars that don't act like they are both victims and better than everyone else.

You might be able to consider DeAndre Ayton in this category as well.  He had 21 points and 16 rebounds on 10 of 11 shooting in game 1.

I can't knock his game, it speaks for itself. He is at the very least a top 3 all time player in NBA history.

This is the truth.   These young guys are for real and the nba is doing some of them a huge disservice and in Trae's case allowing totally anti-league unjustified narratives to flourish.   I mean is 'foul-baiting' a Trae problem or a league problem.   Trae could be a huge national star but the league and media has ruled against him.   They can't keep him down though.  Talent wins.

LeBron is an actor extraordinaire.

Bumping this after the night Devin Booker just had.  These young guys are fricking good!!  I think you should add Donovan Mitchell to the list, as he makes a major difference for the Jazz.  All are 24 or younger.  Non play in a large market.

Their skill level is insane.

That, and they all have that “I’ll take your money and f*** your girlfriend” attitude.
