Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young responded to Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash's criticism of his technique from the teams' game last month, suggesting that he look in the mirror.
Young said he models his play after Nash, and thought that the head coach would have a different reaction if he was playing for the Nets rather than the Hawks, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.
"I saw that it blew up and everyone was talking about it. I bet if I was playing for Steve, he'd be happy. It's something in the midst of competition that he was wanting to win, and I was wanting to win, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes. I think him wanting to get in the refs' ears a little bit was just trying to help him. I learned a lot about drawing fouls from him. If he says it's not basketball, he must've been saying it about himself because he's done it a couple of times throughout his career and was so successful."

What's Nash gonna say the first time Harden baits a team into a 20 free throw night? Is he gonna say that's not basketball?

Trae was doing his job. Nash was doing his job. They both know what is up.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.
