Few players in the NBA are more obnoxious than Trae Young. The little turd beat the Knicks in the playoffs two years ago when they started a backcourt of Elfrid Payton and Reggie Bullock, and has made it his entire brand ever since. He just got his third head coach fired. He straight-up sucks.
But you know what they say about the enemy of my enemy, and on Sunday afternoon Young’s Hawks squared off against the team directly above the Knicks in the standings, the Brooklyn Nets. As much as it pained Knicks fans, it made sense to be rooting for Atlanta.
