The Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers are set for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday, which also happens to be Father's Day. Prior to the game, Trae Young's dad, Ray Young, hopped on NBA TV and reflected on the career of his star son, who has led the Hawks to a crucial Game 7 in an unbelievable set of playoff performances.

Trae Young has been remarkable in just a few years into his NBA career and should only get better. However, his dad is not surprised by his success and has stood by him every step of the way. Game 7 will be no exception, either, as the Hawks can finish off a monumental upset over the top seed in the Eastern Conference led by MVP runner-up Joel Embiid.
The Hawks went up 3-2 and had a chance to close the series out, but the Sixers were just too much on Friday night and they found a way to force a Game 7, despite a masterful 34-point, 12-assist performance from Young.
The winner of Game 7 will head to face Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, who themselves won an overtime thriller on Saturday in an epic Game 7 that saw Kevin Durant and James Harden leave everything on the court.
What better present to give your dad on Father's Day than a series-clinching victory? That is what Trae Young is hoping to deliver.
