Beaten for some time with his Hawks, Trae Young nevertheless follows the playoffs and never misses an opportunity to criticize the Knicks, and more particularly their fans. So, inevitably, a lot of people didn’t like it.

Trae Young, who will probably be back with the Hawks next season, is hoping for a more successful season alongside Zaccharie Risacher. It has to be said that this campaign ended badly, with defeat in the play-in round and no chance of tanking to boot. As a reminder, the Spurs own their next round of drafts.

So in Atlanta, there’s no need to do the math: it’s all about winning. Young will be eagerly awaited for 2026, and we can tell you that Knicks fans can’t wait to have him back. We know that tensions are real between the point guard and the Big Apple, with plenty of taunting on both sides. And the player is doing nothing to calm things down.

Trae Young lashes out at Knicks fans

While the Knicks and Thunder are in the Conference Finals on their own, the two franchises could meet again in a few weeks’ time in the Grand Finals, even if nothing is done. What’s certain is that Ice Trae has a clear preference for the OKC crowd, which is louder in his own words. At least, that’s what he says on Twitter.

@TheTraeYoung : “Hot take but not.. OKC fans are louder than Knick fans. Happy Sunday!”

The comment wasn’t made at random, as Young was due to watch Game 7 between Oklahoma City and Denver, appreciating in passing the rather explosive atmosphere of the Thunder and their fans. But is it better than that of the Knicks?

Possibly, although Madison Square Garden is a veritable cauldron. But recent ticket prices may have dampened the mood in New York, although fans on Twitter are as boiling hot as ever. So for them, there’s no question of letting this attack go unanswered.

@hyattwatcher : “You definetly own the 2021 knicks bro im proud of you its probably the only accolade you’ll get in your career”

@bethaninicole_ : “ain’t you on vacation?”
