[Highlights] The Knicks fans with “MVP, MVP, MVP” chants to Jalen Brunson during his first free throw, and then “F*ck Trae Young” chants during his 2nd, with 25.6 seconds remaining in regulation.
Trae somewhere grinning out there
We’ll miss our heel he played his role better than most players when they are heels.
Coz it’s natural
Unlike Dillon Brooks
Mmm Dillon’s is some what natural. It ain’t totally phony. Also Dillon isn’t as good a player and don’t got the other qualities traes got. Not sure if you can talk about them without a ban or what not
Not sure what qualities you are talking about but I think theres more teams that would take Dillon over Trae.
Not at the time when atl won the series .
Ah thats fair, I didnt realize you were speaking in that context.
Did Tyrese not take it over last two Playoffs?
Not really. He might if we keep bumping into him the next couple years but Trae played the villain too well and Knick fans love and hated it.
Also hurts the cause that Tyrese seems to be a good guy and he’s friends with Hart and Brunson. Would be much easier to hate if he was an asshole!
And hali trying a bit too hard. He backed it up and it’s entertaining enough but it was pretty corny.
But da choke?
No one actually dislikes Haliburton
As soon as he puts that Pacers jersey on, it’s up. That choke gesture lives rent free in my head. Wishing him a full recovery and for him to continue what’s been a really good start to his career, but it’s definitely fuck Hali til we see them again in the playoffs 😂
I didnt even know he was sick
Man’s probably just happy to be mentioned in the Garden at this point
Someone in the game thread was wondering why there would be “Fuck Trae Young” chants when Trae is no longer on the team. xD
That was my bad lol. I forget that all fanbases have that one guy they’ll remember as a pain in their ass everytime they play that team (Jimmy Butler). I guess I was thinking about my hate for the Knicks more than I was using my brain.
Look up “potvin sucks” been going on in msg since 1979
honestly bro….caleb martin.
Miami has the weirdest guys who just aren’t that great of players, that just go off against us. Gabe Vincent also comes to mind.
Definitely, but that ecf made me want to put a hole in my tv lmao
Shit Jimmy Butler has that with the sixers franchise
Genuinely, why tho?
Edit: nvm I just remembered the context 😅
Because it’s funny
I can’t believe people view that more than just a dumb meme lol
Same reason Mets and Red Sox fans chant “Fuck the Yankees” together when the Mets and Red sox play each other.
You mean “Yankees suck “ .
I can tell you first hand it’s because fuck him, still. Duh.
because it’s funny
Cuz they all hate 🥶 Trae from the bottom of their 💕!
Because he lives rent free in their heads
Knicks fans have a long memory when it comes to playoff villains, even if they’ve moved teams.
Probably the only example I can think of where a “fuck this guy” chant is actually kinda wholesome.
It’s like they’re saying “we love our guy so much we gotta hate his rival” in the most New York way possible.
Knicks fans make Trae Young seem so much cooler than he actually is
Right? He’s living rent-free in their heads years later, it’s honestly impressive.
Half fun half rent free
At this point it’s a point of respect to Trae Young
He should be thrilled to get free rent in nyc
I don’t think it’s really rent free more so just a meme
This, it’s just fun, and Trae seems to enjoy it too, all good fun.
Nah, we love Trae. He embraced the toxicity. This game felt a regular season game without him.
Eh it’s all in good fun, the Garden loves to have a villain
You knew we had to
do it one time
Rent free
The ghost of Atlanta Trae Young still haunts the Knicks
You know they still chant fuck Reggie Miller right?
Hali should be the real enemy now
don’t got the same aura
Cornball. Fun. But corny.
The players we used in that series haunts me. Idk how they made it that far.
He has a losing record against us lil n
Let’s see. Would be nice to throw that old Poltergeist quote out there at series end. ;)
TRAE YOUNG LOOKS LIKE MY DAD’S DICK
I’VE NEVER SEEN MY DAD’S DICK
6 ft long?
This is the only chance to sneak in anti-James Dolan chants without being 1984ed
I just know Trae is at home smiling at that. He loved that shit when we played there.
One time for the one time
Knicks looked decent out there. Couple moments felt like they took their foot off the gas. Not because they needed to, but because they could. But this Hawks team….they do not look like a playoff team in the slightest.
Only rent free in NYC
¯_(ツ)_/¯ as a Sixers fan, this seems like some shit we’d get clowned on for
