NBA Fans React To Trae Young's 38-Point Performance Against Cavaliers: "Best PG In The League."

Trae Young is one of the best point guards in the league today, and there is no doubt that his offensive production is off the charts. He has looked unstoppable at times this season, and he is clearly a player that can warp an entire defense.

The recent matchup between the Hawks and the Cavaliers is one that many people were looking forward to, as it was a win-or-go-home play-in tournament game. The winner would end up as the 8th seed in the playoffs.

The winner of that matchup was the Atlanta Hawks, and they were led by Trae Young, who put up an astounding 38-point, 9 assist performance. A lot of fans reacted to Trae Young's big night, with some stating that he is the best point guard in the league.

Trae Young tonight:

38 Points

9 Assists

52% FG

CLUTCH. 🥶

A lot of people generally believe that Stephen Curry is the best PG in the league currently, but Trae Young is definitely a top-tier point guard. He had amazing averages during the regular season, putting up 28.4 PPG, 3.7 RPG, and 9.7 APG. He also became the first person since Nate Archibald to lead the league in both total points and total assists this season.

The Atlanta Hawks will face the Miami Heat in the first round, and that's not going to be an easy matchup for them. The Miami Heat will obviously be favored, and they have stars in Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, while also having a lot of elite role players such as Tyler Herro.

With that being said, with Trae Young, the Atlanta Hawks will likely go in confident into every game. He is genuinely a superstar-caliber player who can do it all on the offensive end. It remains to be seen how far the Hawks will go in the playoffs, but their first-round matchup is bound to be extremely exciting.

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

Shaquille O'Neal says Dennis Rodman was his worst teammate: 'He was a great player, but he made it hard'

Shaquille O'Neal played for six franchises over a 20-year NBA career. That's a lot of teammates. Speaking on The Big Podcast with Shaq, the four-time champion and Hall of Famer revealed which one of those teammates was the worst. "Worst teammate? Dennis Rodman," O'Neal said. "He was a great player, but he made it hard. Like when you try to corral the guys together and the people above you [are] letting this one guy do whatever he wants. So we had to be there an hour before the game. He'd come in fifteen minutes before the game eating chicken and rice. While the coaches are talking, he would jump in the shower. Cold shower. Come and give you 15-20 rebounds." O'Neal played with some characters in his time. We know about his beef with Kobe Bryant, who we know wasn't always the easiest teammate to get along with, though Shaq has long expressed regret over the way he and Bryant handled their relationship as young superstars, and eventually, he ...

Kevin Durant injury update: Nets rule star out for home-and-home vs. Raptors, hopeful for return later in week

Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant is expected to return to the floor this upcoming week. Head coach Steve Nash says it just won't be against the Raptors, either Monday or Tuesday night in the team's home-and-home against Toronto. Durant has started doing more on-court work recently as he recovers from the sprained MCL he suffered in his left knee last month, and Nash is optimistic about his prognosis moving forward. The former MVP will not play on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors, however. "I think with Kevin he's been a great healer throughout his career," Nash said Saturday. "So the No. 1 thing is to get him back healthy and feeling secure in his health and his body so he can move and be free. When he's back, obviously he adds a ton to our team on both ends of the floor ... one of the greatest scorers of all time. And we also know he helps us defensively; he gives us more size and length. So he's a big miss for us, and whenever he get...
