Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry not only garners accolades but also earns reverence from players and fans. The legend of Steph does not remain solely built on achievements; a significant factor is his remarkable ability to stay composed and excel amidst skepticism. A scrawny son of an NBA role player, many didn’t take him seriously. Nonetheless, Curry defied expectations, proving his worth to the world. During the weekend, Stephen Curry encountered Trae Young on the court.

Post-game, the two-time MVP had a moment where he shared words of wisdom with the emerging superstar. Young has become a formidable guard since arriving in the league in 2018. This season, he boasts an impressive average of 27.3 points, 2.8, and 10.9 assists. Despite such remarkable stats, he faced a surprising setback after not making this year’s All-Star selection. Even with over 2.7 million fan votes, Young couldn’t secure a spot in the reserve.

I told him after the game that it would all come back to him if he continues to approach the game the right way: play with joy, don’t let it build any type of resentment just because he’s not acknowledged.

In the impressive 141-136 overtime victory of the Atlanta Hawks over the Golden State Warriors, Young delivered a stellar performance. He led the team in scoring with 35 points and contributed six assists. On the other side, despite Steph Curry’s remarkable 60 points, it wasn’t enough for a win.

However, the All-Star selections brought a surprise as Young, despite his outstanding season, was overlooked. The Eastern Conference All-Star team favored three other guards – Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Maxey, and Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell. This decision sparked debates and discussions within the basketball community, questioning the criteria and choices made during the selection process.

Trae Young is an integral part of the Hawks, and the NBA fanbase would like him to receive the recognition he deserves.
