Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young has fully embraced becoming the villain for the New York Knicks, so much so that he still has some brutal words for the team even after they closed out the series.
With under a minute left in Game 5 of the playoff series, Young banked a 3-point dagger that basically killed any hope of a comeback for the Knicks. To add insult to the injury, the Hawks sharpshooter celebrated the shot by taking a bow.

In his post-game presser, Trae Young got brutally honest about the reason for his bow celebration. For him, it's just a normal thing to do when a show is over–yes, he said exactly that!
New York, who has undoubtedly a thriving entertainment scene, knows exactly what Young is talking about. However, they certainly don't want to that now … or from him.
“I know where we are. I know there’s a bunch of shows around this city. And I know what they do when the show is over,” Young said about taking a bow after his epic 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, per Andrew Lopez of ESPN.
Unfortunately, the Knicks and their fans can't blame anyone for this savage remark from the Hawks guard. The whole MSG crowd had a fun time chanting “F**k You” and “Trae is balding” chants to the third-year player throughout the series, so they probably know this is coming when they started that.
