Trae Young trolls Knicks fans during Thunder-Nuggets Game 7
NY Post
Trae Young just had to try to antagonize Knicks fans while he was off watching Game 7 between the Thunder and Nuggets, taking a dig at the fanbase’s passion in a post on X on Sunday afternoon.
The Hawks’ star has long embraced the villain role against the Knicks, dating back to the 2021 playoffs when Atlanta knocked the Knicks out off the back of Young’s play in the series, and since then, he has faced the wrath of fans whether he’s playing at Madison Square Garden or not.
And he seemed to happily take a shot at Knicks fans when he suggested on Sunday that the fans in Oklahoma City were louder than those at MSG.
“Hot take but not.. OKC fans are louder than Knick fans. Happy Sunday!” he wrote on the social media platform.
While Young may be trying to insert himself into the conversation long after his Hawks were bounced from the playoffs, the Knicks and their fans seem to have much bigger things on their minds with the team’s first trip to the conference finals since 2000 on the horizon.
The streets around Madison Square Garden turned into wall-to-wall pandemonium after Friday’s Game 6 win over the Celtics to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference finals and a date with the Pacers.
PORT ST. LUCIE — For now, Craig Kimbrel is choosing Mets purgatory.

Zion Williamson is slimmer and healthier for his trip to MSG.
Don’t blame Mikal Bridges for his paltry stats. Blame the role.
Almost a year to the day after a goaltender interference call against Kyle Palmieri lost the Islanders a game against the Blue Jackets that started their season’s death spiral, they were on the wrong end of another controversial call against those same Blue Jackets that might have had the same effect.
On the Queens side of town, the reno began in earnest almost as soon as Francisco Lindor grounded into the 4-6-3 double play. That ended a 4-0 loss before a rare sizable crowd at Miami’s loanDepot Park last Sept. 27, all of them there to witness the final death rattles of an epic baseball calamity.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being paid handsomely for his breakout season.
Next comes the harder part. Mostly because it can’t get any easier.
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
