Hawks’ Trae Young points to Suns’ Kevin Durant as example

For Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young, haters come with the territory.

“I look at those like boos, and ‘F you’ chants – stuff like overrated – like, you ain’t saying I’m overrated unless I’m actually doing something on the court,” he said on “Gil’s Arena” with Gilbert Arenas on August 5. “So I just use that as like a sign of respect for sure.”

Young’s exploits on the court have led to plenty such chants as he’s showcased his talents at the most storied venues in the postseason most notably his bow at center court of Madison Square Garden in the first round of the playoffs in 2021, the year the Hawks made their surprise run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
