No one thinks there is a Trae Young propaganda, everyone think he is excellent. Funnily enough, Hawks fans do feel like there is a Luka propaganda though, because you are all way too emotionally invested in this, and cannot bear the thought that any expert or fan would think Luka is better. Hawks fans hate Luka, Mavs fans do not hate Trae.

Pretty sure my guy was using 'propaganda' facetiously, my guy.

How many cool points do I get for use of 'my guy' in a sentence though? That's the real story here.

As for me, I love the guy and think he's an elite talent. Don't be shocked when he enters the top 5 in the NBA in a few years.

He didn't make the all star team last year because his stats took a big dip from the prior season and he was a pretty inefficient scorer last year. Also the 5 eastern conference guards who made the all star team last year were all having better seasons than Trae Young was having.

Look sometimes we see some screwy things with fan voting in the all star game but 99% of the time if a guy doesn't make the all star team it's not some conspiracy where coaches personally dislike him and refused to vote for him, it's probably because other guys are having a better season.

I generally agree with what you're saying. But the funny thing is there was some intel that our former coach advised others not to vote for him.

Also advised TeamUSA not to include him. I think Pierce confirmed the second bit about a year ago saying stte that being included wouldn't be good for him.

Yeah I don't know what the heck went on between Lloyd Pierce and Trae, I have also heard that they despise each other.

Trae was a top ten scorer last season and second in the league in assists per game. He also led his team to the playoffs and was two wins away from the Finals before a freak injury with a ref ended his season. He absolutely should have made the ASG last season. It was the biggest snub in NBA history. And one of those reasons was his own worthless head coach asked other EC coaches not to vote for him to "teach him a lesson". He was backstabbed by his own coach who also told the US Olympic team not to take Trae.

Yeah imagine being Pierce, who landed an NBATv gig after the firing, and having to break down how good the Hawks were playing now that they have a new coach. Talk about .. wait for it ... hawkward. 8-)

(shout out RedD for that one)

On a serious note, the asg/teamUSA stuff would sound like typical fan-conspiracy but in this case it's been pretty well confirmed to have happened.

Hawks fans are awesome.

They actually caught the joke about Hawks fans vs Doncic fans.

I thought it would be a little to subtle to notice.

Happy to see that Trae has been more consistent

Trae is not just playing at All NBA level this season he is playing at a MVP level.

I'm sure he'd be getting more acclaim if his team was in the playoffs.

My comment is explaining why people are currently sleeping on him.
