Fans troll Trae Young after NBA championship tweet

While the Denver Nuggets lifted the first NBA title in franchise history on Monday night, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young made a bold claim.

Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets have proved beyond all doubt in recent weeks that they were the best team in basketball in 2022/23, and two-time All-Star Young believes the Hawks are the heir apparent.

"We next!" he tweeted defiantly, with ring and trophy emojis to boot, emphasising his confidence that Atlanta will be competing for the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy this time next year.
