Trae Young taunts Knicks fans by reminding them of MSG spitting incident
Young got the last word in.
Trae Young’s battle against the New York Knicks in the Atlanta Hawks’ first-round playoff series win will go down as a breakout performance for the young star.
It was his battle against the Madison Square Garden crowd that will get him in the history books too with names like Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller.
Young went right back at an MSG crowd who cursed at him, ignored New York mayor Bill de Blasio’s comments about him, and brushed off a fan who spit at him.
After taking a bow on Wednesday in the Game 5 clincher, he also appeared to address the spitting incident from Game 2 — The Athletic’s Mike Vorkunov thinks Young said, “Are you gonna spit on me next?”
Trae Young hasn't forgotten about someone trying to spit on him at MSG in Game 2. He mimics spitting while talking to some Knicks fan on celebrity row. Seems to say "Are you gonna spit on me next?" Then he smiles. pic.twitter.com/Gihge9VHZ1
