Why Trae Young is Banned from USA Basketball



Trae Young wants to represent his country in the Olympics but he has been frozen out for years. His fans say the reason has nothing to do with his talent. This is a look at the real reason Trae has been blackballed from Team USA.

  1. I think they should pick him. You rarely find US players who want to play for their country so desperately. Good for the rest of the world.

  2. I just don’t think they feel Trae is good enough at what he’s good at —really inefficient pull up jump shooter for his volume, but a very good passer—to make up for his deficiencies. In a team of stars, someone has to do the dirty work; Trae either can’t or he won’t.

  3. This could have been a 15 second video. You take two-way players when they’re not capable of out-scoring half of the other team.

  4. If you’re going to bring your best, you don’t bring trae. Can’t defend paper bags, wet or dry.

  5. He’s terrible on defense. And he doesn’t play Team USA basketball which is to play together with cohesiveness. Less ISO ball.

  6. Call me crazy, but I would much rather have players who actually care and really want to represent USA be on the team. If someone else is better, but doesn't really care, don't let him on Team USA

  7. Lol you really just said win with the Hawks lol. No way this man avg 30ppg shouldn't make the team. You didn't name 1 good defender over him and better than lamelo.

  8. Your story videos keep us going! I for sure don’t hate them but I feel like they are being overshadowed by other big nba YouTuber coverage such JxmyHighroller and etc.

  9. He doesn’t do the little things it takes to win and he can’t be effective when the whole offense isn’t ran through him. He doesn’t move off-ball, doesn’t show any willingness to defer or be a cog in a system, etc.

  10. Trae Young is receiving the same treatment Reggie Miller received back in his day. But at least Reggie made Team USA's 1996 squad. To no surprise, it's probably the way Trae looks. A small guy that doesn't appear to be much. Yet, he does bust a lot of asses out there against players that appear to be bigger and better players. Same thing with Reggie. A rail thin guy that took a lot of opposing players to town. Most of us know that type of guy on most courts that are similar to Trae and Reggie.

  11. Of course, we won the story videos!!!! Also you forgot to mention Greece 🇬🇷 For the Olympics!

  12. Who cares about that Trae needs to focus on getting an NBA Championship Ring even if it means getting traded to a Better team Like the SPURS!

  13. He needs to play some Fkn defense. At least some. He’s pretty bad at guarding
    This was pretty good. I’ll think about your story videos

  14. trae can't defned well enough to play euro teams. he would be targeted every play. plus he is just a chucker… not a winner.

  15. He’s the worst defender in the league tho. He needs to at least put in a little effort on that side of the ball. After the disaster in the early 2000’s, team USA doesn’t want to get embarrassed again and rightfully so IMO

  16. I love Trae as a player, but hate him for what he did to the NYK 😭😭
    F Trae Young (I truly wish him the best in his career though)

  17. LOL your not going ot see everyone you want on the US team its impossible there are too many good players. BTW that dillion brooks representing canada LMFAO. They aint winning gold
