Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young is straight up savage, on and off the court. Unfortunately for the Milwaukee Bucks, they are on the receiving end of that brutality.
In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Young pulled off what could be said as one of, if not the most disrespectful gesture in basketball. Late in the third quarter after he pulled off a nasty crossover against Jrue Holiday, Ice Trae found himself wide open at the top of the key. Instead of immediately shooting the triple, he waited for a bit, shimmied–yes, he did!–before launching the 3-pointer that swished nothing but net.

Of course, the Bucks are also to blame for having no help defense, instead watching for Young to do his thing. However, the Hawks star gave them more than just that.
After the game, Trae Young made sure to add insult to the injury by pointing out the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. basically allowed him to embarrass them big time.
“I had a lot of time,” Young said of his shimmy-before-three, per Malika Andrews of ESPN.
With Young's newfound confidence and superstar swagger, the Bucks-Hawks series is brewing to be an intense and entertaining showdown. Atlanta was not supposed to be in the conference final–or at least they were not expected to be there–but Young and his teammates are surely having fun and enjoying every moment of it.
