Few players might as take as much joy driving a dagger into the New York Knicks’ heart as Trae Young. Since entering the NBA in 2018, the Atlanta Hawks’ star has developed a reputation for being a “Knick killer” of sorts — especially when he gets to play at Madison Square Garden.
On Wednesday night, Young had a presumptuous plan for a matchup with the Knicks at the Garden. In a gesture of presumed confidence, the point guard wore shoes that read “King of Broadway.” They were undoubtedly in reference to his joy in playing well and beating the Knicks in their home digs whenever he can.
