The Atlanta Hawks are seemingly set for an eventful offseason. After reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in 2020-2021, the Hawks failed to meet expectations this season. Their 44-39 record solidified an 8th place finish for the franchise and they were knocked out of the playoffs by the Miami Heat in the opening round. It is […]

In many ways, spending money on an NBA card pack is a gamble that doesn’t always pan out in the end. While the risk for low-end packs is almost non-existent, those that sell for a whole lot more aren’t for the fainthearted at all. More often than not, the return one would get from those […]

Trae Young’s star appeal is undeniable at this point. The Atlanta Hawks star is incredibly charismatic (or infuriating, if you’re a Knicks fan), making him one of the most marketable stars in the league.

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young couldn’t help but laugh off at FOX Sports after making a false claim that Luka Doncic won more games than him in the Conference Finals.

The Atlanta Hawks took a step back this 2021-22 season after making the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago. Atlanta was eliminated in five games by the Miami Heat in the first round.

In the eyes of NBA fans, Trae Young is a villian, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Young feeds off of negative energy from away crowds like no other player in the NBA currently, and it has led to some of his most iconic career moments thus far. Young is best known for […]

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young has earned a reputation in just four seasons.

[…]

It was clear after the Boston Celtics’ Game 1 collapse that they badly needed Marcus Smart back.

While a lot of people are questioning Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic’s MVP win over Joel Embiid, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young shared his belief that it’s a well-deserved award for the Serbian. Even before the NBA confirmed the MVP winner for 2021-22, there had already been leaks and reports citing Jokic’s win. True enough, […]

Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young just hates seeing his fellow NBA players get injured, so imagine how he felt after watching Ja Morant exit Saturday’s Memphis Grizzlies-Golden State Warriors game due to a knee issue.

When Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks ran it back after their East Finals appearance in 2020-21, many thought that they were going to improve, including team owner Tony Ressler.

After getting eliminated by the Miami Heat in the 2022 playoffs, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young vowed to come back even better in his Year 5 in the NBA.
