Trae does something only Oscar accomplished

pretty amazing, but a little surprising the tweets mention nothing about defense or his hair. Guess they ran out of characters.

I do find it funny that when Trae does something no one else has done or ties a record with an all time great it gets zero mention on here. As if the regular GB poster just prays no one will mention the elephant in the room. If he played anywhere else half the topics on the GB would be about him.

The hypocrisy is real.

The victim complex is real...

Notice how Luka fans post his achievements, Jokic fans post his accomplishments, Embiid fans post his accomplishments, Giannis fans post his accomplishments... you see where I'm going with this?

And you're upset because, what, Trae fans have to be the ones to bring up Trae's accomplishments? You expecting Knicks fans to go research them and post them here or something? :lol:

The regular GB poster doesn't sit around thinking about (much less praying about) Trae Young as you implied above. Hell, there's another post about Trae on the front page right now, more than any other player currently except AD (also 2)...bad timing on this post :lol:

It's not about hypoocrisy, it's fandom. Why would a fan of any other team/player go out of his way to praise an opposing player? Unless you meant to call the neutral basketball fans hypocritical, i don't get it.

I don't know, didn't you just post this in a thread that did just that: mention it on here when Trae did something that only few (in this case one ATG) has done before?

And wasn't there just recently a thread about Trae having the chance leading the league in both total points and assists?

Also, what's holding you back in mentioning all the great stuff? Why should everybody else do it for you?

On topic: I'm impressed. Would have expected Luka to be on the list as well but 2,500 assists are pretty hard to get.

I'm not a Hawkes fan but even I can see Trae is being slept on.
If he were on the lakers he would be first team all NBA with this performance
Instead, he's fighting for third team this year, the disrespect is real.

Trae even brought it during the playoffs last year.
Hes a real one.

You are proving my point for me. Only myself, other Hawks fan or the one lone non Hawks fan CobraCommander ever talks about Trae Young on here.

Thank you. At least one non Hawks fan can admit it.

If the standard is "if on the lakers" every player NOT on the lakers who's great is getting slept on...

Trae making 3rd team all nba is about what his play this year indicates. That's freaking awesome. He shouldn't be first team this year, not a single stat would justify that selection nor his team record.

Who would he kick off the first team? Certainly not Luka, so he's kicking off someone else that's fighting for it - who?

Laughable troll post. not a single stat? best PER among all guards? the only player in top five in points and assists per game? The player with the most 30+ point/10+ assist games this season at 20 which is DOUBLE the amount from the next guy behind him? How about he has a chance of leading the NBA in total points AND assists becoming only the second player ever to do that? And the guy that did that didn't have covid ruin his season and played 46 minutes a game?

I can keep going but I think you got punked out enough.

I'm sorry but when you're the worst defender in the league, your offensive prowess just means less to me

I guess I'll give you PER, haven't looked at that one if a long time.

And actually he's moved up a few stats from even 2 weeks ago. Most still indicate strongly that he's more likely a 3rd team guy, but I'll give you that PER, WS/48 and RPM have all adjusted him up. Most other metrics rank him around 6-7 among guards. And nobody is going to start caring about the assist/point leader thing. You can spam that forever, we don't care when it comes to rankings or all nba.

Can you point me to half the topics on the GB about Luka Dončić, I just can't find them?

Excellent offensive stats but when he stops being a curtain on the defensive end, then yes he stands a chance. Again nice one-side-of-ball stats and it is good to show off your fandom, but 9th in the East is not going to cut it to get First Team. Third team seems about right.

1st team all-nba worthy of offense dragged down by poor defense and less than ideal team record, 2nd team all-nba possible, 3rd team most likely.

Trae Young this season:

28.3 ppg/9.7 apg
60% TS%/34% USG
38% 3P%/90% FT%
6th in estimated wins per dunks&threes
7th in RAPTOR WAR per 538
ATL #2 in ORTG

Engineers an elite offense with career high efficiency on a team with no other All Star players. Deserves an All NBA spot.

ChaseDown · Post #19 » by **ChaseDown** » Thu Apr 7, 2022 6:20 pm

Whenever Beal made 3rd team, this is the same situation for Trae. I would not put him over Luka, CP3, Booker, Curry or Ja. Those guys have better records with their teams as well.

Well deserved. Also like you soften the tone a bit - he is certainly one of the best guards in the nba.
