Trae Young has been a straight flamethrower for the Atlanta Hawks through three quarters in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is all for it.

Trae Young put up a full game line even before the final frame. The Hawks star put up 37 points, five rebounds, and eight assists while shooting a stellar 16-for-26 from the field. He also nailed four of his nine three-point attempts, which clearly left the Lakers star thoroughly impressed.

Young even stoked the flames of his villain persona by straight disrespecting the Bucks with a nasty shimmy even before making this three-pointer.

LeBron James was definitely loving what he was seeing. The Lakers forward had just five words for Trae Young, who James felt clearly needed to cool off for a quick second. Young was straight flambéing the Bucks with his relentless offensive attacks and endless confidence.

Getting LeBron James hyped for you is no doubt vindication that you've clearly turned into a true star in this league. While King James certainly would rather be out there with his Lakers competing for another title, watching some of the brightest young stars like Trae Young is not the worst consolation prize. Hawks-Bucks is sure to be a wild series.
