Why Trae Young is Banned From the All-Star Game



Why Trae Young is Banned From the All-Star Game

Trey young just made history by not making the All-Star team it’s just the second time ever a guy with 27.1 dimes 55% true shooting missed out the only other time also Trey young last year but here’s a crazier stat these are the NBA leaders in order for points and assist

This year does anyone stand out what is going on bad defense no Damen Lillard’s a starter being on a mediocre team oh the Lakers have two allars no this Allstar ban has a much darker reason than that Trey’s teams have been bad before he was an All-Star in 2020 and 22

In 12th Place and last place this season the Hawks are in 10th arguably Trey’s best year ever averaging 27 points and a career-high 11 assists he’s actually a sneaky bad shooter but 37% from three this year and he has created more points with his passing than any player in the

League that’s why it was a shock when Allstar was announced H Dame Tatum Yannis and embiid start bam Paulo Jaylen Brown and Brunson spider Maxi and Julius Randall Off the Bench what does Trey have to do now Trey could still make it as an injury replacement both embiid and

Randall are out but last year Trey was so offended by not making Allstar in Atlanta he said he’d refuse an injury replacement Commissioner Adam Silver personally picks The Replacements and James Harden said the same thing last season but by the time he changed his mind silver already picked Anthony

Edwards dearen Fox and Pascal se yakum but there’s no guarantee Trey even makes that other snubs this year you can see the full list but the only guys Trey has to beat out are Derek white and christops porzingis Scotty Barnes Jared Allen and Miles Turner you would think

Trey wins this but there’s a good reason he might not just look at how all stars are picked but first today’s sponsor is Underdog fantasy I am in love with their game that is called pick them you pick higher or lower for your favorite players or your favorite game that

With 50% fan vote and 25% from players in media Trey was voted the number two guard among fans a super popular guy behind only Tyrese halber but he was number six among players players like other guys better like hie Maxi Brunson Dame and spider and he was six for media

Behind hie Brunson spider Maxie and Dame so Trey just missed out as a starter that left it to the coaches the NBA lets every coach vote on who should be Allstar reserves they picked two backourt three front court and two regardless of position we can only guess

They picked Jaylen Brunson and Maxi in the back court bam Pao and Jaylen Brown in the front Court and Randall plus spider as wild cards this completely tracks with how other voting went so voting proves while the fans respect Trey the players coaches and media do

Not if you need more proof just look at the 20203 results players voted him 12th among guards or 2021 11th or the Athletics Anonymous player poll where the most overrated player was Trey young they won’t say this out in the open but behind the scenes they all think he is

Overrated why well Trey came into the league embarrassing people with his dribble he’s also one of those guys who draws fouls and exaggerates contact which is frustrating to defend against but even his own teammates have negative things to say in 2021 John Collins confronted Trey in the locker room the

Athletic reported Collins raised several issues about the way the Hawks were functioning with young at the helm and expressed a desire for more ball involvement and flow on offense recently dejon Murray come ask every player on this team this year and last year are they happy this is the difference

Between fans and players fans see a bunch of assists and assume it means your teammates are happy but players say not all assists are created equal for years James Harden has been top 10 in assists some were his prime years for being an ISO dominant oneman team it was

All about him so players see young as another James Harden and don’t respect his game but the coaches are what actually matters I mean they’re the ones picking the all stars Off the Bench and coaches Beef with Trey goes back to an incident 3 years ago but first all you

Need to know on how they see Trey’s game was recently said by Doc Rivers Trey at the end of a game you don’t want to be in a one game onepoint game when that dude’s on the floor with the ball uh cuz he’s capable of making shots but

Uh the defense from him is poor and you know you have to do both F if you want to win in this leag and coaches who vote on Allstar doc Tom tipido and Nick nurse who are defense first Eric spola who easily shut Trey down in the playoffs

But the others have a personal beef Trey had just averaged 30 points as an All-Star starter in the NBA but wasn’t named to the 44 man Team USA roster I mean you think not making the 12-man allstars bad 44 so he went on ESPN and openly admitted to being disappointed I

Was kind of hurt um that I didn’t make the the 44 players and um felt like I deserved to be on that list this was obviously important to him but his own coach on the Hawks was asked if it was hard to see Trey left off he said no

Because honestly I respect the the league I respect the levels and layers you have to go through Harrison Barnes Mason plumbley those guys have done it Mason plumbley over an All-Star starter so Lloyd Pierce got fired in the middle of the next season Trey’s hurt feelings

Were a big reason why but I have never seen a response to a fired coach like this Pacers Coach Rick Carlile said I heard about the dismissal of Lloyd Pearson Atlanta this is a shocking development to all of us in the coaching World Greg papovich a sad day to have

Somebody lose a job like that he’s the type of guy you can build a culture around in the culture in Atlanta coaches blame Trey then Nate McMillan got fired after a Beef with Trey these coaches really hate this man but the one way to reverse all of this is winning four

Years Devin Booker was seen as an All-Star snub here’s a quote from an article in 2020 Booker is often seen as a no defense shot jaing empty stat hunting young player who cares more about his own numbers than actually trying to win does that sound familiar

Then he made it in 2020 and 21 as a replacement but now he has made it every healthy year when Chris Paul became his son it hurt books numbers but it helped winning so you have to wonder if that’s even possible in Atlanta they have tried

So many paths to win with Trey nothing has worked and you know Trey takes this personally just look at the Team USA stuff so if he can’t win in Atlanta then try somewhere else Trey young would likely welcome a trade to Los Angeles at any time League sources have suggested

That Young’s camp would be open to pairing young with Victor Wim banama now these are just Anonymous reports for now but don’t be surprised if an actual trade demand from Trey comes because this disrespect is going nowhere but one guy who is definitely not at Allstar is

Joel embiid he is down with an injury for the forseeable future and everyone blamed the 65 game rule but in reality the real reason he got injured is a lot darker than That

Trae Young is having arguably his best season ever but was not selected as an All-Star this season. He might still make it as an injury replacement but this is a look at why heā€™s been blackballed from the NBAā€™s biggest event.

  1. Does anyone know where to find the results from players and media (like the snapshots in the vid) im curious to see where other players tht got snubbed ranked

  2. Funny how the first stat you bring up includes 55% TS%. 55% in todayā€™s NBA is NOT good. It is flat out terrible, even worse when you take enough shots to average 27.

  3. Wow he seems so soft spoken and genuine. I watched him play against the Warriors last night and have a newfound respect for the way he plays. Iā€™m so shocked to see people donā€™t like him. Goes to show that whatever happens behind the scenes, he seems to leave it off the court.

  4. a fair question to ask is: who should he replace? I used to be a trae fan, but the last 2-3 years have changed my opinion on him. Fans think he should have been allstar by looking at his box stats, while simultaneously entirely neglecting his advances stats or his game tape. For me to considering him an allstar/all nba player he needs to improve on a lot of thing: Reduce his turnovers, improve his shot selection, improve his efficiency, be less ball dominant and increase his offball movement without the basketball, at least try on defense. Another thing is that, while his assist numbers are high and he is an excellent passer, most off his assist are lobs to capela., which teams have been able to shut down in the post season. His efficiency , specifically in the postseason is down right horrendous. all this and i haven't even mentioned his horrendous defense

  5. I dunno about the all star snub, but i know he doesnt pass the eye test for me. he is like harden or embid or james in that way. relying on foul baiting to stat pad. he may be a good or even great player, but when the antics to get to the foul line overtake that greatness he kinda falls into the "nobody cares" category.

  6. Why even mention west selections when arguing that Trae is a snub. There is poor picks in both west and east though. KAT and Bam shouldnā€™t be there. Is it position locked why they were selected?!

  7. Trae Young is inefficient and plays on a bad team. Thatā€™s why the coaches donā€™t like him.

  8. Trae Young has to be a Laker next year. Goodbye to Lebron and pairing Davis with Trae would be a Thing to watch

  9. It honestly wouldn't be a complete surprise if Trae gets traded at the deadline, especially if the Spurs really want him.

  10. Rudy gobert, James harden, derrick white, Jarret Allen, and Myles turner are not snubs. In fact most of the people you named are not snubs. Only true snubs are Trae young, Sabonis, and Fox. It was crazy last year that Trae was snubbed when Atlanta was hosting.

  11. Puts up ā€œall starā€ numbers on the offensive end but heā€™s barely a bench warmer on defence. Heā€™s not an all star lol yā€™all tried to say heā€™s the next Steph.. heā€™s literally another Lou Will.

  12. everyone wants someone to make the all star but who are we gonna leave off? He doesnt deserve it more than the guys that did, they all earned their spots

  13. lowk used to not fw trae like that but seeing how hes been able to take all this criticism lately and show us more than tell us of how good of a player he really makes me wanna root for him now. People forget he got them to the ecf not to long ago.

  14. Doc gonna fuck up the bucks team he shouldn't talk about defense he had a lead on a 3 to 1 4 times and lost all of them he's not a good coach and shouldn't talk about defense

  15. I want to know who is cutting Trae's hair.. I just want to know why his shit always looks like he did it himself LMAO

  16. His own team doest like him & he was voted most overrated in the league last year by his peers & coaches

  17. It's hate and bias and it cost team USA last summer and its hurting the nba liking somebody doesn't change how good of a player you are

  18. Trae Young is better than overrated Damien Lillard. Lillard plays no d, a streak scorer or no scorer. Sooked and wanted to be traded to a better team.

    Trae Young stays and fights for his team.
