Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young pulled off the ultimate troll job on the New York Knicks this offseason by appearing in the WWE Smackdown held at Madison Square Garden. However, Julius Randle couldn't care less.
When asked if he has seen the video of Trae's appearance and his opinion about it, Randle didn't hold back and admitted that he doesn't care. While he has seen the talks about it and perhaps some photos, the Knicks All-Star said he didn't even watch it.
“Yeah I see it. But honestly, I don't care. Obviously, that’s (for) entertainment purposes and all that (stuff), so I let people enjoy it. For me, honestly, I don’t care. I honestly didn’t even watch it. Knicks fans, they’re going to make a big deal out of it – they didn’t like it (laughs). But it’s all fun and games and hopefully they enjoyed it,” Randle told Ian Begley of SNY.TV.
Knicks fans certainly didn't like the gesture, as the crowd at MSG booed Trae Young heavily when he made his entrance to the event earlier this September. However, they did get some consolation after Young was thrown out and sent to the locker room after interrupting the match between Sam Zayn and Rey Mysterio.
For those not in the know, Young became a villain in New York during the 2021 playoffs when he responded to the taunts of the fans with his game and own antics. The Hawks eventually sent the Knicks packing to the disappointment of the supporters. Right then and there, he became Public Enemy No. 1 in New York, and by the looks of it, he's embracing all the hate.
As for Julius Randle, it sure looks like he is only focused on settling their score on the court.
