[Highlight] Clippers announcer Jim Jackson on Trae Young being on the Wizards bench against the Clippers in Los Angeles “I guarantee if this trip was in Utah Trae wouldn’t be on the bench.”
I dont get it
Trae would be at home if they weren’t in LA or Miami. Only made the road trip because of LA
Also, Trae owns a home in LA lol
Did not know that but should’ve assumed i think every big contract player owns an la home a Miami home and or a new york home.
Doesnt even have to be the big contracts. Remember Jaxson Hayes caught his case at his LA home just a couple years into the league as a pelican.
Who was the guy that bought an island last year lol
reggie bullock
Ok cool. I thought he meant trae would be playing if it was utah
Trae was cruising around 69th and Figueroa
Must be depressing seeing the options there after all his years in Atlanta
Trae hates the Mormons
Trae just like me
Mormon (derogatory)
But loves Scientologists
Trae would’ve stayed in the back, or not make the road trip.
Even if it were true, it’s a non-story.
he thinks trae is taking it easy so he can go out and party.
doesn’t really land given the context of injury, tanking and that players like to show off while playing in LA.
Trae has also has a house in LA, so whatever the announcer is trying to allude to doesn’t really work
and in his Wizards introductory press conference Trae talked about wanting to invite the whole team to LA over this offseason to train together
isn’t that exactly what he’s alluding to? Trae made it to LA because it’s LA. Had it been Utah, he’s not be bothered and just stayed in Washington (or even LA lol).
How does it not work. Any injured player is more likely to join a road trip to LA than he would one to Utah. Him owning a home in LA only solidifies that point.
There are plenty of celebs/athletes who have houses around the world that they don’t visit for years. That’s not why he’s in LA. Don’t be naive. And I’m not even talking about partying. LA has amazing weather year round. It’s an amazing place to relax anytime of the year.
He’s not alluding to anything. When the lead commentator says “they are going to continue to ‘monitor his health’” something is being alluded to - Trae is likely not going to play this season because the Wizards are tanking and want to develop the young guards. Jim Jackson is just outright saying Trae would not be on the Wizards bench if they were in Utah. Trae owning a house in LA is a moot point.
No. He thinks LA is a bigger city than Utah, and Trae wouldn’t have bothered to go to Utah because, well, it’s not LA.
I don’t think he’s implying that at all
Nah. It’s that he wouldn’t have traveled if it wasn’t for LA
Utah: what he say fuck me for?
If Utah isn’t used to this at this point then idk what whole they been hiding in
Utah. They’ve been hiding in Utah.
Tell me you’ve never been to Utah without saying you’ve never been to Utah
He’s just trying to avoid the inversion. I don’t blame him.
What is he trying to say lol
The only reason he bothered to show up at all is because they’re in LA
That he only came with the team because it’s LA. If it was Utah he would have stayed home, because it’s Utah.
(Trae owns a home in LA also)
Memphis? I’ll catch up with y’all next week.
Trae Young stay catching strays
Fuck this guy
Is he gonna play again or is he a vet type player/coach?
Clippers organization has their own problems to focus on (retirement home and no picks) rather than focusing on my good ol’ Jazz
It wasn’t a comment about the Jazz organization. It was a comment about Salt Lake City nightlife.
What’s he gonna do? Post up past 11pm at Crumbl Cookies drinking dirty soda?
Sounds like my kind of party!!
Don’t tempt me
yeah bro thats the whole point, why would he be in utah. lol
Yeah they’re kind of working on that by winning 10 out of the last 12 games…
11 of 13
Yeah, this throwaway comment by a part-time color commentator is indicative of the Clippers organization’s focus as a whole.
clippers losing will also be your problem btw, unless youre an okc fan too. Be glad that they won the last 11 out of 13
I’m definitely glad lol
Jim Jackson is a Knicks fan confirmed.
Jim Jackson never been to Delicate Arch huh
Get traded, don’t show up ASAP with your team even when injured… yeah, that would be a dumb thing to do. This comment makes no sense, of course he is gonna be there.
I thought that was Mike McDaniel at first glance scrolling
This is the definition of living rent free in someone’s head
Crack 15 wins on the season and they start talkin shit
I took this as Utah is a weak team and Trae would be on the court not completely absent from the game lol
I was assuming he meant since the jazz were playing the lakers and players usually show up but they don’t play them until April
Option A: Trae partied in LA so isn’t suiting up
Option B: Trae doesn’t give a shit about Utah media so wouldn’t even attend the game/make the trip.
Option C: Trae is boycotting the state of Utah for their regressive policies
It’s definitely not C lmao
