Trae Young has very clearly established himself as a player who thrives off of negativity. This energy inspires him. It pushes him. Motivates him. Makes him better.
We found that out during last season’s playoffs when Young trolled the Knicks into oblivion during the Hawks’ playoff run last season. Knicks fans tried to humble him with different chants and boos and everything you can think of in the book. They were quickly humbled themselves by the NBA’s premier villain.
Clearly, Cavaliers fans learned nothing from the folly of Knicks fans.
