VIDEO: Trae Young Made a Circus Shot From Behind the Backboard Because He's Trae Young
By Jerry Trotta
Trae Young has used his first All-Star nod -- and the tragic passing of his hero Kobe Bryant -- as fuel to close out the first half of the 2019-20 NBA campaign as vigorously and efficiently as he started it. In the opening minutes of the Atlanta Hawks' clash with the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, Young reached deep into his bag of tricks to net a trick shot from behind the backboard while fading out of bounds across the baseline.
As he's done an untold number of times throughout his first two seasons in the NBA, the Oklahoma product has left us speechless. It's simply incredible how straightforward Young made this shot look. All in a day's work for Atlanta's resident magician.
