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.

Bill Russell Once Explained Why He Didn't Bother With Celtics Fans: "When I Was A Star, The Fans Called Us The 'Boston Globetrotters' Because The Celtics Had Black Players."

While the NBA is a beacon for freedom and tolerance in America, things didn't start off that way. In a place like Boston, during the 50s and 60s, racial tension was a pretty serious problem, and superstar big man Bill Russell had to deal with it on a game-to-game basis. Today, it can be hard for us to imagine just how difficult being a black basketball player really was back then. Fortunately, we have some clips: "The number one paper was the Boston Herald and they didn't like the idea of an NBA team having black players. Out there, the star was Bob Cousy. No matter what I did, Cousy was the star. I remember I had a game where I had 25 points, 25 rebounds, 10 blocks, and the Boston Herald said I was lucky to play with Cousy." Unfortunately, the media didn't give Russell his respect back then. Despite being the best player on the court, and on his team, Cousy and others always got the spotlight. Even the fans weren't very accepting of Bill: "I didn't...

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Sixers' James Harden backs teammate Joel Embiid for MVP: 'He deserves it, man'

James Harden has been a member of the Philadelphia 76ers for less than two months, but that's been more than enough time for him to appreciate the brilliance of Joel Embiid. The duo is expected to help the Sixers compete for a championship, but Harden believes another trophy should be on its way to Philly this year. In an interview with Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, Harden backed Embiid for MVP, saying "he deserves it, man." "I've only been here for a few weeks, but I already see his mindset," Harden said. "He wants to win. Some guys just want numbers, but he has both. He has the mentality of winning, and he scores the ball at a high level. I think he's prepared himself, especially coming off last year, for this year to be one of his best years." This has indeed been one of Embiid's best years. He's averaging a career-high 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 35.8 percent f...
