Atlanta Hawks star and New York Knicks villain Trae Young among athletes who got a vote for New York City mayor

Maybe Trae Young's performance in the Atlanta Hawks' first round 2020-21 NBA playoff series against the New York Knicks was enough to sway one voter in New York City.

In November's election, Young received one write-in vote to be New York's next mayor, according to the New York City Board of Elections report that was released Wednesday. The Hawks superstar will not have to move into Gracie Mansion and take on the mayoral duties. Young finished 753,800 votes shy of Democrat Eric Adams, the winner of the race.

This is the latest turn in Young's budding relationship with New York.
