Knicks fans boo him, but the Atlanta star never misses an opportunity to take his revenge. Like the 45 points with which he dominated on Tuesday night
Trae Young has entered the minds of Knicks fans and has no intention of leaving. The new great enemy of Madison Square Garden did not miss the opportunity to give the New York team the final push, throwing it into the Lottery and signing its latest performance on the parquet of the arena that prides itself on being “the most famous in the world” with 45 points seasoned with a series of spatial games.
like Reggie Miller

In last season’s playoffs, Garden had discovered the new Reggie Miller, the most hated opponent capable of taking revenge with legendary performances (his 9 points in the last 30 ” of a postseason challenge in 1995 went down in history) with the New York public. Young was definitely at ease in the role of villan, bad, enough to close that triumphal series with 29.2 points and 9.8 assists on average. To the little Oxford chorus “F … Trae Young” with which New York fans welcomed the leader of the Hawks in the playoff series last year, the player responded by destroying the defense of the Knicks. Taking on the role of the Garden anti-hero seems to like a lot to Young who never misses an opportunity to tease Knicks fans. Like when in February, during a concert in New York by rapper Cordae, yet another choir had started, it is not clear why, “F … Trae Young” and the Hawks star had used the clip of the choir to make fun of the New York fans.

Thus, on his first visit to Madison Square Garden after the exploit of the last postseason, in a match which was also a last resort for the Knicks, it was reasonable to expect a special welcome from the fans of the New York team. Which promptly happened with open stage whistles and with the usual chorus. As expected, however, Young first on the pitch gave yet another displeasure to the Garden public, then in the post-match with a smile on his lips he even mocked the fans. As a perfect antagonist. “The whistles? I honestly thought the audience would be noisier – commented Young at the end of the match won by his Hawks 117-111 – the opposing fans don’t intimidate me, I just try to do my best for my team ”. The best and something more if the parquet is that of the Garden. Like the basket that sealed Atlanta’s success signed at 1:04 ” by the siren by sending the unfortunate Gibson to the bar, and making it become a meme on social media, after a crazy crossover. “Trae really likes this situation – underlined his teammate Bogdan Bogdanovic – when you provoke him he responds with this type of performance. He is an absolutely extraordinary player ”. The Knicks fans have also agreed that they have now found the new Reggie Miller.
