Trae Young is really enjoying his role as an NBA villain. The guard isn’t afraid of teasing fans, rivals, and entire organizations to get an advantage for his Atlanta Hawks.
This season, he’s been heavily criticized for foul-drawing techniques, earning a lot of hate around the league. Players like Young, Luka Doncic, and more led the league to make some changes in the rules, just like they did with big names like Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, and more.
Trae had a hilarious reaction to those changes, ironically saying he was honored to accompany some of the greatest NBA players of all time. When StatMuse named all the players that made the association change their rules, Trae was very happy.
Only the great NBA players forced the NBA to change the rules.
Wilt: Offensive goaltending
Jordan: Illegal offense (clear out)
Barkley: Backing down for 5 seconds
Shaq: Zone defense
Iverson: Dress code
Durant: Rip through move

Trae doesn’t care anymore. He’s just trying to win and will use every trick in the book to reach his goal. He went through hostile territory in New York and Philadelphia and came out alive.
These Hawks have something to lose, and that makes them more dangerous. Now they’ll go against Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Bucks, trying to ruin their plans as they did with the Knicks and Sixers.
